>>>>Well unless you were training to find downd aircraft

That's probably true, I was only trained to keep them from going down!

 

I dont know of any companys that allow it, and I'm 99.99% were not allowed to carry, that being said there is no need to carry out here. The mob stopped hi jacking trucks a long time ago lol . Just get yourself a nice (not a Truck stop cheapo) tire thumper they have a lead bar inside, all you gotta do is lightly knock someone on the head and there head will crack right open... So swing gently or like me...go for the leg broken leg hurts more then death, then you can laugh at them till the cops show up...



Now for the good stuff...


In all seriousness theres no need to go out with a trainer, if you can drive and know where YOUR limits are then thats all you need. They'll teach you the everything you didnt learn in school in Orientation. The rest is just takeing your time and driving. There all always other W/S drivers you can call with questions 24/7 everyone of us here give out our numbers. It really isnt hard, it might seem it on your first solo load, but after that its like ok this is easy lol


I cant say much about wel all I know about them is there trucks are brand new and VERY SLOW!



I am very happy here and make plenty of money, and have been treated very well by everyone here at W/S.



You just need to decide what will fit your needs better...



Good Luck with whatever you choose!

Thanks for the great info. Tire thumper...perhaps I can find a good use for my ole PR24 side handle baton (aka Rodney King thumper) I'll be making a decision in the next couple days.

This should be the first consideration...If you don't think you can go solo from jump street, write off WS...Not everyone can and it's not a negative or says anything bad about you if you don't think you can...Some don't prefer to learn thru trial by fire or from their own mistakes...

Walstib, I am sure I can muddle my way through it, but like in law enforcement those little mistakes can be costly.

 

Most of the things you will encounter in your first few loads are pretty minor things and usually solved with common sense. But like others have said, with help from other drivers and some of the people at W/S, you will have plenty of support.

Usually the types of individuals that will need the assistance of a trainer are those that just can't seem to grasp the backing fundamentals and need the extended practice of going out with a trainer for several weeks.

 

I coudn't back to save my life during the orientation, and I broke a glad hand from turning too sharp....lol. They still gave me a truck. I've worked for three other companies since W/S and have never been treated better.

 

Confirm that W/S treated you the best?

 

Confirmed....W/S treated me the best!
