    I was let go by C.R. England for an accident they said I could have avoided. I now have a preventable with no injuries and will have to look up those companies you guys just posted. Thanks.

    I loved working for Watkins. You can't beat that 100% drop and hook, 24/7. When I started with them, I had to run team and it was 10 out, 2 off. The last 3 years, I was lucky to have a solo bid run. Mon-fri, 9 pm-5am, off weekends. I made $56k. There were guys making more money, but my home time was great, lots of time for my kids.

    Yes I hear you on that, that was one of things we loved too...100% Drop n Hook .,..you just cannot beat that, we were with them for 2 years. The thing is we are now spoiled because of this...~lol~, we did not want to be involved with shippers/receivers again and decided the only way to go was flatbed...I kn ow we have to deal with them in flatbed but hopefully it is not as bad as reefer/dry van.

    Good luck in you ventures !!

    Another option to get away from the shippers\recievers is hauling hogs, lol. I got hired by Gurney and just got back from my orientation trip. Not a bad job and as close to working at Watkins as I'm ever going to get. $40 less a day than I was getting, but still home daily and not living in a truck for peanuts. :)

    Hey pumkin,

    Do they even HAVE governors on their trucks? They fly by me like I'm standin' still all the time.

    Are you running Milford to LA?

    I am running Vegas to La. Every truck seams to be governed different. I have been in two, one was 68 and the other was 75.
