How dare you even cut that thing! You have any idea how long it would take for me to grow something as epic as that?!

Hey that's super cool! Thanks for sharing that Tracy!
Yay your back! We had a newbie ask about your company about 2 weeks ago. The thread is likely here somewhere in the last few pages. Yea how dare you cut the beard!
Good morning everybody.
I am just trying to get as much feedback as possible from companies, how they like them, what the negatives are, pay, benefits are huge for me, how the equipment is, whether it's forced dispatch or not, whole nine yards. (not worried about D&H or having to load/unload)
I am looking into moving down to the lower 48 from Alaska, going down with basically nothing but family, cloths on my back and my pool cues. Trying to find a company who is willing to keep me rolling for months at a time.
So far, my top ideas are May Trucking Company, Gordon Trucking Inc, and Knight Trans. Still doing research on 10 others that I just haven't looked much into lately. Just recently started looking into Watkins & Shepard and thought you might be able to assist me through this journey.
My plan is moving to Denver and attending a private schooling not company sponsored. I figured I could get more knowledge to be a safer driver with more time behind the wheel and in the classroom.
Have a good one 
Joe

LOL It was hard to manage in the truck. But I have a handle on it now! Thanks Tracy

Joe,
I'd be glad to help. Email me and we will either set up a call or exchange a few emails on it. We have a terminal in Denver...and 19 other places. We are on a big push to get drivers and can get you behind the wheel pretty fast if you have a CDL.
Tracy
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

Brett and all, Haven't been on in a while...I apologize. Too busy truckin. Still with Watkins Shepard and loving it. Great company...and we are hiring big time - shameless plug follows - Make sure you tell them I sent you.
Anyway...I was surprised and pleased today when our daily safety message came across PeopleNet:
Today's safety tip from the Trucking Truth (excerpted from a blog post by Brett Aquila):
Your Mirrors May Hold The Key to Predicting The Future I've always been a huge proponent of watching your mirrors at all times. I think when it comes to safety, watching your mirrors should be one of your very top priorities - just under the importance of watching out your windshield. If you know what is going on around you at all times you'll almost always see what's coming.
Good advice and worth repeating! Cheers, Tracy
