Watkins Shepard 30 day training as experienced by Warpdrvr

Drive safe Warp, if you don't feel like driving a full day to make up for lost time don't do it. I hated hanging around for truck repairs or late loads because it made me more tired. But I just put in a short drive to get back on my sleep schedule some what.

 

I had the misfortune of having a transmission go out while I was stopped ON THE SCALE at an Oregon weigh station in the middle of nowhere. On the day before Thanksgiving. I had to get towed off the scale and I spent an entire week waiting for the repairs, because of the holiday. The mechanic was nice enough to have me over for Thanksgiving dinner, though.

 

wow.... i have to tell you, one of my goals out here is to never be " That Guy ", you, Henley, reached that goal for sure!... where ya been?
hope your not sitting on any scales anywhere
anyone seen 6309 as well??? rednek, where as he been?!?!??!?!
warp, hope things get better for you and def what znine said, tooo tried, pull it over!, you dont wanna be part the of the " Hey Folks ".
hope everyone els is doing good...
anyone gonna be in dalton on thursday thats where ill be....

 

nope i dont even know where dalton is. i cant even drive a cmv out of the state.

 

I'm in Dalton now but it looks like I'm headed to Conover from here. This is the third time in a row I've delivered in Georgia only to be sent to Conover instead of Dalton. And every time I sit around and wait for a load out of Conover, at least until enough drivers in front of me wuss out on a Jersey load and I get to scoot ahead in line. I ain't scared of Jersey; in fact, I like it up there.

 

yeah!, remember the message that went out a few months ago saying that ALL drivers, owner ops included needed to help out in conover pulling loads??? i remember that message, but it seems like everyone that i talk to that goes to conover always ends up getting 1 or 2 resets in 1 week...
i got here just a while ago... gotta deliver in atlanta at 6!!
time for bed!!

 

I agree that place is terrible to navigate in a semi. Only thing worse is NYC.
