My Experiance with Watkins Shepard!

I spent all morning replacing the Tie Rods on my truck, then took it to get it aligned, then to get inspected......IT PASSED! haha and it cost me a wopping $0.85 to get it inspected.

I'm talking about my Pickup truck.....Tie Rods are ware parts.......they have to be replaced at some point. My trucks 17 years old so I think I did a pretty good job of makeing them last....

call swift/central/stevens/prime/USA Truck/PAM. You'll get it fast and be on the road asap but your career might just end just as fast.


If you want to do it right, call the local schools in your area and the community colleges I know there are a few really good CC's with truck driving schools in AZ.

2 weeks in a Row!!!!!!!!!!

I got a load going to the Denver Terminal then I'm going to try to get a beer load up to Helena to get my truck looked at.

I got to the terminal at 03:45 this morning warmed up the truck and pre tripped it.

Then spent an HOUR looking for my trailer!

Its a Leased trailer that used to be a JB Hunt trailer and the trailer number isnt ON the trailer its only IN the trailer!!!!!


So after an hour of doing laps I decided to call the Warehouse guy, and he knew exacly what trailer it was. He was still there too and offererd to help find it if I couldnt find it before he left which was in a few minutes.

I looked at every single trailer 4 TIMES. Then I figure well maybe someone is dislysic and got the number wrong so i checked every trailer with a similar number and all of the trailers with 2 or 3 differant numbers on it or weird ones like 3 digit numbers and the Henerson/broyhill and other weird trailers. But once he said JB hunt I knew where it was, because I remember seeing a JBH trailer lol


Anyway so after that I went over to the Wilco to fuel, then drove the exact some route I did last saturday, includeing all the same pit stops and fuel stops and am now in the same TS, The pilot in East St. Louis, IL! So I drove just under 700 miles, now I'm only 15 hours away from denver.
