    Any of you guys familar with Watkins in general, and specifically their ten dar training out of Missoula? This is Ten days of traning After you get your CDL. And then poss. pair with a driver coach for 2-5 weeks. I'm guessing it is free?
    Might be interested in driving for them out of Phoenix or Missoula.

    Sure, I am! You should try the watkins forum... a few people have posted their recent experiences there. Here's a link Watkins & Shepard.

    I did the 10day 2years ago, then got in a truck; didn't have a coach. I think the coach idea is a new development for those who feel they need it; but I can't provide any details on it, or even if it really exists.

    I've been here for a little over 4 months now and went through their ten day. It has been well worth it for me definitely a good company to start out with

    Just curious, after the ten day, did you solo or go out with a "coach" for spell. I'm really concidering these guys. Totally sick of Phoenix, Would like to even relocate up North. Any ideas on their CSA ratings? I have heard nothing but good things about these guys. thanks.
