    Dude, get off your high horse. The DAC section is just fine, in fact I always wondered why W/S didn't have one in the first place. So to the guy who suggested it... brilliant!

    By the way, I am an actual W/S driver who actually runs OTR.:biggrin_25525:

    Being happy in this industry, is like finding a virgin in a ##### house. It works the same. It takes a lot of time, and money.

    Basically, you're going to swap jobs until you find one that fits your needs. I can see the BS job hopper/union thread now LOL

    I've got a ragged out truck (mechanically sound), and I get home every weekend. I'll be getting a new truck soon enough and my money is in the ballpark. I'm on top of the world LOL

    To your point of never being happy. We're losing about 15 drivers a week, and they'll all tell you this place sucks. Which it probably did, for them.

    It all comes back to personal needs and desires. And the only person who can "fix" that, is you.

    I have a question for you W/S drivers. How strict is Watkins on driving records? I have two speeding tickets, one which drops in nov 2010, and the other in jun 2011. My driving record is clean of accidents, dui's, etc.

    Any input would be much appreciated.

    robb, this could be a problem, the best thing you can do is call and speak to sandy or roxy in recruiting, its more a one on one deal... call, ask, and see what they say, the very worse they can tell you is no, but u wont know till u call...
    good luck,
    let us know what they say.
