    Well that sucks! That's a long bus ride back and forth! I did my HPE in San Diego (Home), just in case I had any issues, check to see if you can do the next one somewhere near your home, to prevent another fail. Additionally, there was a thread on here specific to Watkins Shepard HPE (Pass/Fail). Click this link if you'd like to check it out: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...s-shepard-safety-interview-hpe-explained.html

    Hope that helps, good luck....

    Hey, you didn't answer my earlier question, did my white mini van bumper removal via trailer tail swing, make the wall of shame in the training room? LOL

    Well that's a shame. I don't remember an 18" step, I had to step up from the parking lot to the sidewalk and back for 3 or 4 minutes.

    That's gonna be rough having to take the bus AGAIN. Good luck in 30 days.

    Is WS your first choice or only choice?

    Taking a bumper off is child's play compared to 95% of the accident pictures up on the wall.

    Well everyone I thought I might give a update. I came back and passed my HPV test then I had problems with my blood pressure being too high and got that under control so this last Monday I graduated got my truck assigned 2152 in case anybody sees me say hi and today is Thursday I'm in PA waiting to make my first delivery Friday morning so yay me I finally made it through the orientation and so now I guess you could call me an official Watkins and Shepard driver I do want to thank all you drivers out there that helped me and gave me advice and support while I was trying to get on with Watkins/ Shepherd it's greatly , greatly appreciated
