Any questions from prospects or lookers from real Watkins and Shepard drivers?

there is a Secruity guard on Duty after hours. I've never heard of anything happening, most likey because of the Guard. I wouldn't mess with anyone with a flashlight

LOL. I'm going to call on Monday. Thanks for the info AT. I've been reading your threads for a couple days now. I've been pre approved at Swift and CRST but I'm really not feeling good about either one of them. Then started reading and following your posts from last Sept till now. You and the other WS drivers seem to be genuinely happy there. I am looking for a company I can stay on with for years not months. Last driving job I had I was their for seven years.

 

this could be that company, we have allot of drivers here that have been here a long time.

2002 It has been 9 years it was my first so I plead to a ARR
I thought It has to be 7 years old or more?

 

no, most companies want 10 yrs or older, some wont ever hire you with a DUI

I do not drink any more I only chew and I should Probably stop that because I am A Mormon.... So I fit the right Legal Lifestyle of a driver Because You can Not drink and no drugs and No foul language as a Trucker or a Mormon Oh and You have to eat Healthy or Your Medical Card will be in Question lol

 

Watkins doesn't prehire. They preapprove you to come out for orientation, which is really a hands-on job interview. A lot of people come out here thinking they already have the job. You don't have the job until the day they have you sign papers.

Not trying to burst your bubble; just the only bad comments I've really ever seen about W/S have been from drivers who came out here thinking they were starting a job and they basically didn't pass their "interview".

Out of that list, I'd only go with W/S or USX, but, yeah, like A/T said, the DUI might be a problem. But it never hurts to ask.
