Watkins and Shepard Trucking Announces a New O/O Pay Package
Missoula, Mont. –– Watkins and Shepard Trucking is raising their pay rate, out of certain terminals, up to $1.02 per mile PLUS 100% pass-thru of Fuel Surcharge to expand by 30 new Owner Operators. That pay rate will be paid out of the terminals in Los Angeles, Myrtle, MS near Tupelo, Dalton, GA between Atlanta and Chattanooga, and Hickory, NC in the southwest part of the state. Watkins and Shepard will continue to pay up to 88¢ per mile and 100% of the fuel surcharge for loads out of their 18 other terminals and for deadhead. Over all, drivers can expect to average 96¢ per mile plus 100% pass through of the fuel surcharge.
Watkins and Shepard also offers a $1000 sign-on bonus ($2,000 for teams), performance bonuses and professional respect. Watkins and Shepard is a medium-sized company that is big enough to be financially solid and still small enough to know that their drivers are people and not just a number. This “Take care of the driver” approach has resulted in a Watkins and Shepard turnover rate that is 1/3 of the industry average.
Watkins Shepard offers 95% no-touch freight/drop and hook, Pre-Pass, Qualcomm and pay on practical miles. No Hazmat is required and freight handling and layovers are paid for when necessary (all recurring pay adds up to another 9.5¢ per mile, on average).
Watkins and Shepard is located Missoula, Montana with 30 years of service to customers and drivers. Call 800-548-8895 or visit www.wksh.com for more details.
