    nawlins... you should be glad u have a job at alll???? it could be worse, they could have have shut the doors on us. like they did to jevic.
    seriously. its .01cpm, again it could have been worse, it could have 4cpm they cut us off. youll just have to run 300 more miles a month to continue ur current income.
    and dont tell me you cant get any loads, go to the east coast, i bet youll get more miles over that side then u have in all your time with watkins,
    i give u thums up for letting others no this is a good place to start all while bad mouthin them., i do agree, i dont see myself driving for them the rest of life, but i dont see me leaving anytime soon either.

    S2B now u come at me with a school girl mentality too wow. Man look I did praise the company Once again I said the drivers here keep it home like that makes u feel welcome don't misread.
    I should be happy I still have a job Man I wish they would have laid me off son, by u saying that don't mean none. stop trying to speak on my experience with this company we are 2 different people.
    I would say u and million mile man should do some recruiting and get out them trucks. east coast is where the work at u can get all the work miles u want; stop it.
    I never left the east coast and u will sit but I would not know about it I never went over the road technically. Unlike you read the cat refrence taking a hit in wages by 200 but still doing the same thing home at the same time just biding my time.
    this company is starting too suck period.
    Funny want to know how your an yes man you run 2500 avg a week cool but i run on avg. 1200 a week and avg 600 after taxes home 3 nights a week sipping mojitos watching nba finals. I told u I was not going over the road and I did not .


    Remember God is good, theres always more ways to skin a cat, and never ##### kiss like S2B u end up over the road as a underpaid recruiter / driver

    your home 3 nights a week??? and u wonder why ur not getting the miles?
    your a funny guy nawlins.
    a few weeks ago i stayed over on the east, and could not get a break in. load after load. 3,790 miles for that week. and i wont even mention the other 3k the following week. you may have made the mistake of not going otr, you could be more happy maybe,
    but still running on the east coast and not getting any miles is weird.
    the one week i went from nj to mass, back to nj, up to ri, back to nj, up to ct. back to nj then up to ct.
    the whole time i did that 2 drivers sat on the street on nj and turnd those loads down... makes me wonder if one of them drivers was you.
    but let me guess, you prob never turned loads down??
    but, maybe u didnt turn loads down, ull often hear drivers talking about who gets loads. they say its first in first out.
    lets say for example. you and me are sitting at a term, and only one load,
    and they need a driver they know will deliver on time, without any problem..i wonder who they give it to??

    i would never speak on your, or anyones, experience with the company, only mine, as i do. i dont no you and wouldnt speak for you.


    ooooo also, kissing ### around here works, and it pays off, trust me, i get treated the very way i treat everyone els.

    i talk to driver who stay east, and wont go west, and they are all doing ok, yeah a week or 2 may be bad, but for the most part they make out pretty good, or they wouldnt be doing it.

    Nawlins, the specificity of the information you've provided here, along with your dialectic idiosyncracy have no doubt made it EASY for anyone who wants to, to identify you. OOPS!

    This is coming from a newb that's already rolled a truck over? Leave Nawlins alone. He's telling his part of the story w/o rosey colored glasses.

    Sal got your PM but I dont have enough posts to respond (you need 50).

    Give Valley Farms a call and see if they are still hiring. The pay is great but you work 12 hours a day 7 days a week (Agriculture exception to the hours reg) until October, then you get layed off. Due to the economy my company filled the jobs back in March and they have a waiting list of drivers, but it wont hurt to try.

    Sorry about the interuption to the WS post.
     
    sal Thanks this.
