Another Watkins Shepard Thread

does anyone know what date the december class starts in missoula?

 

29th.

Usually the last monday of the month.

Usually its 4 weeks of class then a by week.

I dont know how the holiday effects that.

 

Roxy told us that the next class after the Nov. class is Jan 5

 

ive been trying to get a hold of roxy to ask her, does anyone know what hours she's in her office? everytime i call she isnt there.

 

She's usually there 8am-5pm MST with an hour for lunch. I have had pretty good luck getting in touch with her, although sometimes I have to leave a voice mail.

 

call them and ask them for her email address, thats how her and i did most of our communication with eachother, and it worked fairly well. we ask and answered eachothers questions at our own times.

 

I am looking at companies to work for. What is the cpm for new graduates? Is there detenion pay, etc? Insurance costs?

Thanks.

 

beans, let me out it this way, if you cabt find what your looking for starting out at W&S then trucking probably isn't for you.Some people may disagree but it doesnt get much better than this.Soon2B didn't you work at Swift not long ago?

 

I think it's .28 or .29 depending on whether you do the 30 day or not.

Detention pay starts at 2 hours. They''ll pay it...but you have to stay after them.

family Insurance, is WAY too expensive IMO. But most insurance is.

Overall, W&S is a great company to work for...thats my opinion.

And I've been hearing a lot of our drivers whining. That's normal, hell it's getting tough out here for everybody.

The whining drivers...would be whining wherever they were. The freight just isn't there.

I'm whining, because they won't let me sit at the house all the time

 

With no experience you start at .29/mile, unless you go with the tuition reimbursement ($100/month) then they start you at .28/mile. After 6 months you jump to .30/mile whether you have the tuition reimbursement or not.
