    I know the difference between the two companies..just making a point that no matter where you go, people will always complain at any company!!!!!

    I had prehired at W/S too, also with Conway and Gordon.

    Preferred Gordon due to tuition reimbursement, equipment they run, and they are almost 100% no touch. Plus it was my preference that I go out with trainer! Two of the guys from my class went with W/S and they are happy there. I have nothing against W/S at all, it just didnt seem the right fit for me.

    There is always something to complain about, its just the way you look at things... One person could complain that the company isn't treating them right, and another would say that he/she is just happy to have a job. Right now I would just be happy with a job... lol

    AT could complain about his bunk heater not working for instance, but instead he is happy to just be getting miles.

    Its like that old saying where one mans junk is anothers treasure, its all in the way you interprate it..:biggrin_25525:

    W/S & GTI are both good , If your from Stockton both term are in Modesto about 1/2 mile from each other. It's a win win for you.For me they are both great companys when things are going good, and they both suck when things arnt going well. Just depends what day it is. Good luck

    Hi all, I am 3 1/2 weeks into training at Roadmaster SLC Utah.
    I have gotten pre hires from TONS of companies.

    Watkins Shepard is the ONLY one i have not heard ANY bad reports on.. i have spent hours at truck stops and on the internet looking for the companies out there that just play games.. Watkins is the only one that if you do your JOB and don't spend all your time on your fat ### in the truck stops you will love this company and not want or need to look anywhere else.

    I have talked to Truckers about them all and Watkins is the only one where people are happy with 100% of the time.

    Anyone thinking of Watkins I say GO FOR IT!

    Happy hunting all. :biggrin_255:
