Watkins Shepard 30-Day Training

hey back hows it goin? the thing that puzzled me was that they charge I think 4k plus for a class and the classes (to my knowledge) were always full with I think 9 students per class which equates to about 36k a month.. Seems like thats a lot of company income to just walk away from, and I think warpd's post said they told him it was economic reasons?
And besides that the 10 day classes they dont charge for?? I dont think anyway? huh, maybe I should check into that....LOL
OH well I guess I will find out in the morning when I call Roxy or Cristy to see if the 10 day classes will be effected. My fingers are crossed. take care

 

Yeah, I have an email into Roxy as well asking some questions...as for the DMV tests, now that I am going to school here locally, part of the course is the DMV permits. Since I am paying for it, I will let them teach me about them, although I already have been studying the manual for weeks now.....

 

whew I am good to go..... hey s2b yer recruiter said to quit bein a spoon lol

 

ok hope all goes good, stay in touch

 

haha, she called me! sorrry... just makin sure ur heart is working thats all... bad joke...
folks watkins shepared is not closing... the emails can stop now!!!

sorry SBD, <~~ haha.. SouthBayDad, or Silent But Deadly

 

Haha S2B, you gave a lesson on freight, lots of rumors out there and they are never good. Now you need to start to good to be true rumors!

 

Ya she got a kick out of that post. U like to stir up the pot that's fer sure. LOL. Espeacially u and Nawlins. It's fun reading your guys banter back and forth. Not sure what thread it was that I was reading but u guys were duukin it out. u guys sure seem to have a history together. Do u get down to sfs at all? That terminal is only about 20 miles from my house and close to the school I am just finishing up. I have driven thru the yard acouple times. But if u r gonna be in there let me know and I will stop I. And say hi.
And "silent but deadly". Hmmmmm. Not sure about that one. LOL

 

OK, here's the scoop. The Bad - W/S has suspended their Missoula school indefinately. The Good - W/S has been forced to use their Missoula trainer resources in the South East due to the heavy increase of freight contracts in that area and the need to fill trucks with drivers. That is a good thing for the company's long term stability. The 10 day orientation program at Missoula is still on going. I would guess odds are that the Missoula 30 day school will be reactivated in the not too distant future. Until then, for those wanting to join W/S, attend a W/S approved school in your local area and join their company thru the 10 day orientation program currently functioning.

 

Sounds like Tiger, indefinately.

 

Well today was the day and I passed my last dmv hurdles - skills, pretrips, air brakes and driving I now have my official class A license , Dave from safety called me last week for my interview and said everything looks good , now the school will send my transcripts, and other info to Roxy and I am set for the Jan 13th 10 day, really looking forward to this new adventure. Not sure who all is going to be there but let me know
