    Hi John,
    Are you going to go with WS?
    If so I'm out of Connecticut, I'm curious to see what your work load will be like if you do east coast dedicated or something.

    Just look up the posts under Pharaun('s) profile and you will see some info he has been posting.

    There has been a lot of good info on W/S lately, so just search the forum and you will see them all.

    I plan on starting training with them in Missoula Sept 24th, they seem to be a pretty good company.

    I'm starting the 10 day training program in Missoula with Watkins-Shepard on the 23rd or 24th of September too. Got my CDL out of SAGE in Post Falls back in July. Huge relief to finally land a job and even more to generally hear it's a good company to work for. Tough times all over....hope things get better soon. See you there Johnny....

    Talk to Roxy one of the recruiters. She is very nice to talk to and will make you feel right at home with any questions you have. You can read all of the 300 plus posts in various threads and you will VERY RARELY come up with a negative about them. That is why I chose them when I was looking at all the other companies. Having a good company to work for, I believe is half the battle of staying happy. I go there on Jan 13th for 10 day orientation
