Update: Watkin/Shepards/2 months

We have put a little over 40,000 miles on our Volvo, taken one hom etime of 6 days, had 4 resets, 2 breakdowns since joining W/S. We have traveled from Oceanside California to Massachusets to New Jersey, down to Dalton, Ga, up to Orondo, WA, over to Montanna, back to Oregon, Down to Phoenix and back to Las Angelos several times. We have seen some crazy stuff out here, been severly frustrated, been on the wrong route, missed an exit, lost in LA, and stuck in Portland traffic. But, we have en also been able to see a good part of America, talk with several fellow drivers, visit museums and displays along our route, find the best BBQ and CFS, stopped at an authentic German bakery on 89 in Utah, drive through Sturgis, and visit with friends and family along the way. The truck has reaally been doing good and the company has fixed any isues pretty darned quick. We arefinding our groove and what TN works and what doesnt. So were not doing too bad. We like the company and their policys have worked well for us. Will post more down the road. See ya'll out there.

 

I've seen higher pay and lower, but all what you make out of it...I have heard some story's about other company's and dispatchers that would not make the extra money worth it. It would take more than higher money for me to switch companies....unless I could get into flat bedding and dropdecks...used to love pulling those in the Army.

 

Vaque is how I like to keep it on those topics unless were sitting down face to face having coffee...
