Watkins Shepard After Orientation

as far as i know we do not hire out of Texas

That's understood. I would plan on Missoula and drive from there or Denver. Had about enough of TX

 

had a guy in my class from San Antonio...but other than that i didn't think we hired out of TX either..

but if you have had enough of TX it dont matter...just remember to make your home terminal somewhere that doesnt have a shop LOL...

 

why

because if you're truck's in the shop and its your home terminal, no breakdown pay

 

thats just stupid thinking right there! You WANT a shop at your home terminal so you can have your oil changes/lube jobs and any other work done while you sit at home.....

or you can sit in the "drivers lounge" at a terminal for a few days on the other side of the country and get what $50/day?

hey I'm just saying. I live in Missoula. I had a week off cuz my truck was in the shop.. wasn't so bad! (AND they DID pay me a couple days bd pay anyway, cuz they're decent like that.) If I was desperate for cash I could've done local work instead of sitting at home.

 

its not stupid thinking when you way up the ratio of times my truck is in the shop for oil/lube job versus the times its been in the shop for work, and then waiting for a load to get out of missoula..

but this coming from the guy with the oldest running truck in the fleet....well "running" only when its not in the shop(weekly)..

i am working on getting a better truck..lol

and it seems to me the truck getting worked on hardest is the truck under a load or the truck with a guy gettin paid 50 bucks a day

 

tell whoever assigns trucks that I'll take a new KW and give you my nice Century, runs GREAT! good MPG's too 7-8.5mpg
