    Ah I see people are recommending Schneider!

    I mean Watkins Shepard.

    Nah, it's Schneider.

    All in all I'm happy at the pumpkin. If you want to learn to pull a box, it's better than most other megas

    Lol na it ain't Schneider. From the guys I've talked to with Schneider we are no where close to Schneider lol. They won't even tell the stores we deliver to Schneider owns Watkins now because they know if they do they will stop using their services lol.
    Until my truck and trailers says Schneider. I still work for Watkins lol.
    My check still says Watkins too lol

    Little surprised usually China recommends getting on with a tanker outfit! Keep doing research on what you want to accomplish, flatbed is a good start to learn securement for a step up and stay active. Really depends alot on the person.

    Plan on being out several weeks at a time on your first OTR gig. Good luck.

    I had a friend lasted two weeks at Epes, said there was a lot of confusion. He does tend to job hop though so it may have been him.

    Leonards Express has a small terminal in Hickory. I believe most of their drivers get home weekly. I work for a small power only company and am leased to them but do Long Haul out of the California office.

    Not sure on all of Leonards requirements but I think it's around $.40 to start.
