    Yep we have one in Indy, 33rd and Post Rd. You can go to the website and see where the others are, I think we have about 21 terminals all over the country.

    they like you to be within 100 miles of a terminal, a little over isnt an issue. Our Closest terminals to you would be Denver, CO, Missoula, MT,


    you have to park the truck at the terminal for hometime

    At first I thought that was a bit of a bummer policy, but I guess it's safer. At least you don't ever have to worry about the truck being towed or vandalized if it's parked unsupervised away from the terminal.

    Sounds pretty good. Do they offer a decent healthcare plan?

    I'm thinking maybe look for a different co. That would be closer to Boise than W/S? I am in so. Cal now but planning to move to Boise and looking for a career change. I think a trucking job would provide a decent lifestyle but still allow me to work till I'm in my sixties? Kids are just about moved out( 1 left). thanks for the replys sports,:biggrin_25524:

    Unless you're out of the phoenix terminal. They take their rigs home due to no parking at the terminal.

    See, I see leaving the truck at W&S's terminal a bonus.
    Sure it's a 1.5 hour drive from me, but it's what, there and back every 3-4 weeks? Should not be that big a deal I'm hoping. :)

    With every one else I'll have to find and likely pay for a place to park the truck as I currently live in a city,

    I'm interested in applying to Watkins-Shephard but have a couple of questions about the HPE test. I saw a list of the exercises & was wondering if the 3 min squat is like a catcher's squat & if the sit & lean back for 3min is with your rear on the ground or supported?

    Thanks,
