Crete or Watkins Shepard?

Only go to Watkins and Shepard if you don't mind doing LTL multiple drop type loads because alot of our loads are like that.
I've yet to see an auto-shift at W/S though I hear we have a handful of them for testing purposes.

 

CaptRon - Have you had any problems getting hired because of your artificial hips?

I had both hips replaced due to avascular necrosis caused by taking prednisone for allergies. (Nice 40th birthday present!) Should have listened to the lawyer and sued everyone. But that's another story!

Back on track -

I have never disclosed the artificial hips on applications or medical questionaires for fear of my application getting pitched.

Just curious if you have run into rejections and silence because of the artificial hips?

FWIW, I have been driving a couple years (manual, eaton 10-speeds), Haven't had any problem with my hips. In the beginning the left calf and thigh would get pretty juiced up, but I don't even notice that anymore.

Like to hear your experiences with hiring. I am thinking of changing jobs and would really like to "come clean" with my next employer.

 

I got a knee replacement for my 42nd b-day. Yeah, your going to run into some rejections if they find out about your replacements.It will always be for some other "reason" (the school you attended, your work history,etc) but I'm positive it'll be because of your condition, but of course they'll never admit it, as that would be discrimination.... I'd let them know about the replacments however, as if they find out about them post hire,odds are pretty good they're going to can your ### for lying on your original appy. I'm always up front about my surgeries, and tell the employer I'll gladly submit to any physical your company Dr. can dish out.

Good luck to you from a fellow PA guy.
