Running With Watkins & Shepard

You can't go wrong wit WS. Their people are great at all levels! If you are especially fortunate you will be able to take orientation in Conover with a terrific team of Tim, RL and Matt!

 

I am also two weeks out from graduation and W/S is my top Choice!

 

I hope things work out...Do you what you have to do, we'll be here when you have time and you're ready...

 

Good luck, Chris!

 

Not trying to burst your bubble but you're not hired until AFTER orientation...Orientation is how they determine if you're WS material, mainly looking to see if you're capable of being on your own right out the gate without a trainer...Best of luck to you!

Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

 

You guys and gals don't know me but I sure do know you! I've been reading from the beginning of ORG's thread and just caught up to date here.

Let me start by saying that I hope your situation works out and you are able to get back to driving if that is what you wish!!! You are in my prayers!!!

As for me, I'm researching this profession as a career option for me and I've found this site and specifically these threads (ORG's and yours) to be invaluable to say the least. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOURSELF AND EXPERIENCES WITH US!!!

I live in the foothills of NC only 45 minutes or so from Conover. I've been in sales my whole career from Copiers to medical IV therapy equipment to being a stock broker to owning my own BBQ restaurant and catering business. We (my wife and 2 sons) aren't in a position to move due to family obligations so my job opportunities are slim-to-none. I'm also not able to compete with the catering business and to be honest, I'm tired of trying!

There are many things that interest me about driving a truck and many that scare the hell out of me but I'm getting a much clearer picture thanks to this family.

I didn't jump in until I got caught up to date and I hope it's not to late to get this sincere thank you to Chris!?!? as well as the rest of you who have made this read as enjoyable as it is educational!!!

God Bless

I also got "approved" at w/s and am looking at shipping out soon, but I did not know that the ten day O was all the training you get!
Is it really possible to be just out of school and be ready to go on your own that fast.
