    What furniture stores did you deliver to in Oregon. I used to work for M. Jacobs Furniture.[/quote]

    Sorry I can't remember any names (only 1 week ago but seems like a year) the stops were in Medford, Roseburg, Eugene and 1 other.

    As for time off, you should be able to run 12-14 days or more no problem, a driver I know ran 6 weeks and is taking a week off as we speak, or if you're like me (and I know I am) you may get routes through your home town and get "unofficial home time"

    Hey TBird, I remember you from orientation, I hope things are going well for you two, at least better than the last place you were at.

    Lots of great info here on Watkins Shepard and I've been seriously considering going with them, though I am an untrained newbie. One questions to everyone who's replied so far though, are any of you W/S flatbedders and if so, does their pay scale and freight lanes differ from their van lanes?

    Thanks

    I start flatbed school on the 17th, I've not checked my book, but I think the pay is the same other than tarping pay (I think about $40 bucks though I may be wrong) a friend who flatbeds for them told me the runs are longer, about 1400-2000 miles per, and the loads tend to be more cross country than regional, there is also very little time between loads so you'll definitely keep moving, also you'll be pre-planned for the next load or 2, something you don't get in the van division. I'll let everybody know how the transition goes in a couple of weeks.
