    ...ahaha riiiiiight. You're like what...the third person in the last 2-3 days with a new account on this forum trying to clear Shepherd's name, because they're desperate for drivers? You're either lying your ### off, or you've no idea what you're talking about. Shepherd nearly got taken out of service by the DoT because of their safety rating (mostly due to H.O.S. violations and operation of unsafe/unlawful equipment). It's public record, and trying to deny it at this point is just silly. Just ask the new safety director how his job is going.

    Better still, you come here and respond to an 8-paragraph forum post, without addressing a single point, because you can't. Shepherd $**t on their drivers, and it's why they will eventually go bankrupt with a yard full of empty, nice trucks. If that weren't the case, you wouldn't even be here with this new account. Likewise, there's only a few drivers left at Shepherd who've been there for 10 years - and I happen to know them. So, if you really ARE one of them, we both know you're lying about your logs, and the pressure Shepherd puts on its drivers to constantly do unsafe, illegal ####. Try again ;)

    Shepherd is a terrible company. Being from CO ive ran into a few drivers....besides dispatch yelling at you and booking loads #### near impossible I guess you could go drive a beat up old rag truck....like one driver said youll have no less than 3 logs books and no more than 3 hours of sleep every few days....they post on craigslist alllllll the time because "you literally cant run as hard as they want"

    such good information. Thanks, was wondering about Shepherd. And the troll accounts are pretty obvious. This forum is such a great resource.

    Saw a bunch of Westco trucks this week going west. Anyone know anything about them?

    They pull a lot of our freight at Reddaway. When we're short handed and use purchase power we put our freight on them to go west.

    I met a former Western driver and he pretty said what you just did.

    My jaw nearly hit the floor when he told me what the driver's get paid. At least they have shiny show trucks to parade around in...
