What have you heard or know about Watkins & Shepard?

I asked her that question & she didn't answer. Interesting handle though!

 

Oh really? I was not even aware of the Gender! Thank You Chinatown!

 

Please don't knock the newbie, we all thought we would be invited to the CEO's Office and offered to order our first truck till we got out there and they point back in the corner and you see truck # 0906 and the truck that just rolled through the lot with a seasoned vet in it is at least 500 numbers more then the one they just pointed to and said! "There is your truck" and you look and it isn't much the same as the before mentioned truck, But then they say "Drive it a while and let us see how you do and we will upgrade you pretty quickly" And W & S Will do that! So Please don't discourage them, they need to get out here to really feel the reality of it all.! Thanks.

 

Thanks everyone.

I don't have a bad attitude toward older trucks...after reading thread after thread on here about people breaking down constantly with older/worn out trucks ... it kind of concerns me, that's all.

The name Jungledrums is the title of one of the songs on the "The very best of Arthur Lyman" cd

 

How is W-S safety record,

or is that not a concern for you ?

 

Train a few hundred drivers, get back to me.

 

Conway's scores are much better than W&S.

 

The new trucks because of the emissions junk break down more. I wouldn't be concerned about the age of the truck but learning to drive. Besides even if you do break down you're on the company's dime.

 

W/S thread states they are buying a fleet of new Volvos for OTR.

 

Will you two dirty old truck drivers stop it!?
