Watkins shepard

Not crazy, Hell not known but my flight lands tuesday around 1ish... So Ill be there.

 

I'm on some hometime/truck repair time here in SoCal...so I won't be there...

Deserted, enjoy your time in Mudzoola/Dustzoola. Pay attention to everything the instructors tell you, stay confident, and make sure to practice backing and shifting in the yard after hours with the student trucks, which are available 24/7. In no time, you'll be telling us your truck number and we will keep an eye out for you out there. this company has a great family type enviroment which means (mostly) everybody will help out the new guys with anything you have questions about. Talk to the drivers that are hanging out in the drivers lounge, they have a lot of good advice to give out. If you get the keys to one of the student cars and are heading to town, make sure to check with them to see if someone needs a ride to Wallyworld or something....it's easy to make good friends in this company....good luck to you!

 

hey s2b i might be local but at least i did do long haul.... thnk u sal!!!!

 

Well here I am in Mudzoola, now I see why you guys named it this. BTW you guys trashed that Malibu haha... I spent a good part of 20 minutes trying to start it after stopping in town for groceries. Overall I like what im seeing so far, company is very friendly I got the tour already. I am anxious to get started but 8am tommorow is going to come up quick. I was up at 3am just making my flights so i can be here on time.

 

good luck to you deserted!!! lynchmob is there.. look for the scary looking one... youll know him...

 

Ive probably seen him atleast once, but would not know it. Can you describe him I dont want to walk around asking everyone if they are lynchmob lol.. might seem a bit crazy.

 

The mud over by the empty trailers is the WORST!! It will add a pound to the weight of each foot just from the first step in it.....As for the Malibu, I will say that it was trashed when I got there....to get it started, just put the key in it, and kind of lift up on it while you turn it and it should work....after I almost got stranded the first day, I just kept taking the "ghetto cruiser", AKA the "shagin wagon".....it's old, but runs OK. Enjoy your time there! You will learn a lot. The instructors are top notch....

 

U still on here recruiting I see. Well just in the name of fun whats popping?

Frieght still looking good I see.

 

i kinda soundnt reply to you cause it will prob be several more months before your on again.... but in the name of fun im going to anway...
