    Training is 58000 miles, 15 month contract if you attend their school, and for the most part, you will be team for the first 15 months. They have company trucks, lease trucks, and with two years with them they will go to selectrucks with you and co-sign a truck of your choosing. (Per the recruiter I just talked to)

    Yeah! Amazing thing is you train/team for a long time, but they have better tractors than prime! But i believe prime pays better and not all that teaming for that long!

    hello everyone! i to have been accepted by wil-trans, im suppose to start training the 27th of this month. Recruiter told me 5,000 miles with trainer then the rest of the 15 months as team with another person who is in the program. teaming that long doesnt sound great but as team driving you can turn alot of miles in a week. maybe i will luck up and get teamed up with a good person! crst tried to put me with a meth head ! I have noticed that people have good things to say about wil-trans and i hope its true lol! what the date you goin to wil-trans for training MITCHTOWBOY?

    I started with Wil-Trans on the 30th of March.I already had my cdl so i didn't have to sign a contract or have to spend 15 months with a team/trainer.Thanks to everyone who has replied.The drivers that i have talked to have good things to say.I live in florida and usually it is hard for companys to get you home but i was able to get home after only 8 days and was able to get a load out right away.Helps when my co-driver lives in florida also.I will post some updates next time i get a chance.If anyone has questions please feel free to ask...:biggrin_25520:

    i just moved up here to ga from st augustine fl about a year ago and i tried for trucking jobs down there as well and it was slim to none in my oppinion. can someone request a team driver that lives in the same state or general area?that way it doesnt make getting home like pulling teeth lol

    I talked to them. Even put in an app. Then talked some more. was pretty much told I could come to work for them. Only one problem. I was told they had no open OTR solo jobs. they were all full and my choice would be team drive or lease. From what I read on there web site you have to team with someone for 6 mths. before you can qualify for the lease. I looked over the fixed cost and the payments for there lease and decided that wasn't the way to go for me. If I could have gotten a solo company Job I would have went to work for them. They seem like a good company to work for. Good luck to all of you starting out with them.

    wow, i was told they had solo open, team or lease..hm maybe i should contact my recruiter again and see if this is still true. I dont have my cdl's so i would have to team drive anyways but i dont wanna go with a lease right now especialy in this economy at the present time. I want to go company solo thats all i have set in my sights at the moment. anyone know how many miles you drive with a trainer? and another newb? they say theres 3 parts but i cant figure out the 3rd?? and do they pay for transportation up ther to mo for training?? for got to ask my recruiter

    Hello all, just signed up on the forum and I must say it's very informative. I just put in an app. with Angela in recruiting. I have my CDL but don't have recent OTR experience. What can I expect once hired as far as training goes? I have a ton of questions that need to be answered but I'll just start with this one. Thanks.
