    ..i agree with what most have said positive about W/S here, the original poster made a negative comment on one person at a terminal, that isn't enough to condemn the whole company in my opinion.. also the pay may be less than other companies starting out but W/S runs multiple stops u-unload pay scale which probably factors in the lower per mile pay rate newb drivers start out at.. the numerous positive comments about the entire W/S organization is a big plus in my book; who needs headaches dealing with ofc. personnel when you've got other issues to deal with OTR?

    WOW ok I had made a post about trucker bios. THIS IS EXACLTY what I was looking for.

    Now can anyone give me a list of OTR companys so that I may go to each of their websites and find want company might fit me best out of school.

    I know the school will have recruiters come in but isnt it like the military blow smoke big promises then SLAM reality is they lied?

    We do unload our furniture runs, but no it doesn't eat up your 70 at all, 15 minutes per stop....

    In IN I would sugest Watkins Shepard (Dry Vans), Millis Transfer (Dry Vans) , Maverick (Flatbed and Reefers)










    Furniture Stops Origionating out of Conover, NC (this is where most of the LTL runs come from) is $20/stop

    Furniture Stops Origionating out of Myrtle, MS are $25/stop

    They can keep that heavy furniture moving, sounds like a painful way to make money. Makes my back hurt just thinking about it.
