    Hey lynch, did the 10 day orientation guys go on the LA trip or just the 30 day guys?

    Was it common for guys to bring thier laptops or should I wait till I get my truck and get it then?

    from a previous reply to me it was mentioned that wheelsinthedirt sounded wrong in a truck driving forum which I guess is kinda true.....no one needs that kinda kharma of a truck in the dirt !! LOL sooooooo anyway I have decided to change my user name to the one I usually use instead of the wheelsinthedirt that I use in my dirtbike riding forums, I figured I should change my user name it before I start getting to many posts and have to start all over again. anyway talk to you all on the flip side. Deven... now I hae to start all over with s2b,warpd,lynch and the others. I will be going to w/s Jan 13th. I will be in touch s2b- I replied to your em under my wheelsinthedirt name this morning. hope all is good... Deven - southbaydad

    Hey south, what driving school are you going to, or did you go to? I was looking at United here in Orange County, but decided on the WS school instead

    Does W/S offer training? Do they hire teams? We are desperately searching for a good company to work for!

    hey warpd I am just finishing up at TGA Truck Driving School in El Monte, passed all my endorsement tests at DMV a few weeks ago and go for my driving next Wed. then Missoula on jan 13th, I think if you go to the w/s school it will probaly be better.. Not that TGA is bad but at the w/s school you will get to do the LA trip that Lynchmob (I think) was talking about. He said he learned ALOT from that one trip. You wont get that kind of experience from TGA - just classroom, yard work, city and freeway driving etc.

    HI Raiderrider if you do some research in these forms you wont find much negative talk about w/s, do a search in the search bar and you will find so many posts regarding w/s you will stay up reading them for hours....just like I did.. lol not much smack talk that you read about concernng other "popular" companies. sbdad
