Make sure you do like Sammycat says: Get rest, drink lots of fluids, and eat protein. Your body is working overtime fighting off your bug so sleep or at least rest as much as you can.
Here's an interesting thing I've noticed at this particular TS. The way its laid out, more than 60 % of the parking spaces are blind side backs, or you can nose it in. Makes for some interesting entertainment.
I did a blindside so I could get one of the good spots. They're just baby blindsides, but fun to watch none the less, especially at night.![]()

W/S's outdated website says "$43,300 First Year" This was BEFORE the pay cuts, before the sheet hit the fan and the ecomomy and freight tanked.....The pay cuts have been (recently) returned to the drivers, we have more freight now then we did before the crash, and still are picking up more biz. Don't let the .25cpm starting pay for new drivers scare you away....
American TruckerJarhed1964 Thanks this. -
How many days or weeks does Watkins usually make new drivers work?
-
you go through a 10 day training period
-
they ask you to stay out 3-4 weeks at a time

American-Trucker and Jarhed1964 Thank this.

Over the past few weeks I've noticed WS has went to shortest route,instead of practical route.If u get a printed out routing it will say shortest route.This is a paycut.Small I'm sure but a cut.

hmm i hope not lol, i did notice the miles being even further off then normal though.
American Trucker -
well i guess its back to work tomorrow lol
Oh i got screwed big time by the marina that does my boat work. I called friday after the meds made it so i could talk again. And their like oh ya well we wrote your number down wrong and the boat wouldnt start so we couldnt winterize it and we cant fix the starting problem till we talk to you....
i was pissed 8 DAYS they had the boat they have done all my work for the last 4 years and they dont have my number on every other invoice!?!?!
So i told them to fix everything but it wont be ready till at best 11am tomorrow......so Most likely I'll get to pay the $7 a day storage fee until i get home again to get the boat. yay more wasted money.
Anyone want a Boat?
