Running With Watkins & Shepard

Well AT has been stuck doing furniture loads as well, once he gets away from that I'm sure he'll rack up the miles.

 

Great info. Thanks!

 

I hope they keep the miles up for all you guys working for .25/mi.

Well I am happy for now, We are getting our experience and most of us will probably stay here, there graduated increases are not bad, I am glad I came here rather then a bottom feeder, you know those guys sitting in front of the T V in the truck stop who were told to call dispatch in 2-3 DAYS... We are laying the $ .25 miles down but not sitting either.

 

"there graduated increases are not bad"...you would have to work for W/S for 10+ years to make the same RPM as what I pay someone upon starting. Granted, you will not see many 3000+ mi weeks working for me. You will, however spend 36-48 hrs/week at home. It just surprises me there are so many happy W/S driver with their pay rate. I guess money isn't everything.

 

chralp.... I start Sage in Kingman AZ in April...Long story but thats when I start...been slowly trying to sale things to pay cash for my school..."seems the best way to do it for me"...I'm keeping my HD, it's the only thing I have that means anything to me. can't wait to get this going...just keep writing, you really encourage. and me i'm sure the other peeps on here....hope I can drive I hard as you!!!! I don't have anyplace to go so I plan on being on the road all the time..... be safe......

 

When you're new, you can choose from a higher cpm and [possibly]be treated like a number(or worse from the company and a trainer) or a little less and feel like you're in a family...I'll take the latter...I have ZERO complaints and haven't even heard one I could pass along...THAT has value...

 

Hey Chralb, any word from ORG (Chris) yet? Anyone else hear or talk to him?

 

ORG finally surfaced Saturday night (8:09 pm est) and said howdy. He promised to update us soon.

Check his thread for the post.
