Jet, your signature line reminds me of what my dad used to say.."100 years from now we'll never know the difference" And I agree with what you...
I hear ya Wolf..the first time I pulled a box of Pepsi at very close to 80k up a 26 mile hill with the 18 speed, I could not believe the...
Conover, NC. They used to do it in NJ I believe, but don't know if they still do it there. I went to Montana though.
Just give em a call and ask the questions. Their recruiters are willing to answer all your questions...at least they used to be.
I wish they would go to 13 speeds..but prolly not many starter companies use them. I drove an 18 for them, it was an 05 KW daycab on my linehaul....
So, 2070 a Volvo or Freightshaker? Glad you like it so far except the bugs getting worked out...
You do not need Hazmat to work for WS. They are a decent starter company.
I used to pass by there 2x a day when I was doing my linehaul with WS. I would drive to Desert Center and do a trailer swap and then back to SFS....
He's just as funny in real life. I met him here before I started driving, he worked for the same company I was going to at the time. Super nice...
Heck, I tried to delete this post and put another....don't mind this one, go to the next one...
I emailed Mark Dodge and he said since I've been out of trucking over a year I need the 10 day. I've already talked to Matt in recruiting and...
If you live close enough to one of their terminals, Watkins Shepard is a good starter company. After their 10 day orientation, you get into your...
I feel for you SW..My first truck when I started at WS (1832 Volvo), broke down on my FIRST cross country load. Got from LA to just outside of...
They all want a year plus for experience. I just don't have that. I went and pulled out some of my pay stubs from WS in 2010 and I was making...
wetblacklab is correct. It is a 10 day "interview". While there, they are watching how you conduct yourself at all times. If you can do the...
Notice, he said downshift while going down a hill. Contrary to what we were all taught in CDL school, downshifting is not only possible on a down...
Well, looks like I'll (hopefully) be back in a red truck soon. Due to the economy here in Socal I can't seem to get a good job, and I know...
I think that was Deserted1, he's driving milk delivery trucks...I had been doing linehaul until they laid off 3 local drivers including Des1....
Try Watkins Shepard. They are a pretty good starter company, and after you go thru their 10 day orientation, you get into your own truck, with no...
I think I know of who you speak...She is very cool and I liked her a lot. Where is she these days? PM me if you don't want to state on the open...
