    For me right now, work is slowing down. Not supposed to get back into running hard until about april or may. If someone has good info on Wil Trans it would be great. I like doing heavy haul, have decided that everyone has to eat and reefer hauls what people eat. I know about Prime, drove for them for a while, and enjoyed it there, made money on a lease there. I only left because of a small company that I used to work for bugged the crap out of me, kept asking me to come back, then finally promised me the world until I came back. All of small compabies promises where empty promises. I work for a smaller company now, and they are ok. Alot of bs at times but ive been dealing with it. Its all about making money right now. Thats all I want to do. Is good equipment, good miles, and decent respect too much to ask for?

    You'll have all 3 at Prime.

    Only thing I know about Wil-trans is they never waive when we pass each other

    I said earlier this thread was starting to not make sense. If you now say you worked for Prime, made money on a lease and liked them--why this thread? Why would you need anyone else's opinion (including mine)?? Need handholding??

    Someone else to make your decision for you?

    Unless you're just here to get their names in the mention. That happens, too. Best way to do that is start a 'Back to Prime...' thread and just tell your story as you go. Internet ink's free. Or, if you're not who you say you are, that would be a lot of time, work, difficult... wouldn't it!!

    So start an angst thread... trying' ta decide... eany-meanie...

    Like I said, I visited both and didn't think much of either one. Meat grinders.

    Victor, I appreciate your opinion . However, I am who I say I am, and currently do what I said I do. With this topic I was simply looking for other people's experiences with both of companies and maybe advice. I wasn't looking for hand holding or someone to tell me what to do.

    Are you doing decent with that? Are you profiting a reasonable amount? Im not looking for an exact number, but is it enough to keep your needs met and some of your wants? Is the dispatch decent to deal with? Feel free to pm me if you prefer.

    that's because they're too distracted focused in on their speedometer making sure it stays at 53 MPH

    focused in on their speedometer making sure it stays at 53 MPH :biggrin_25513: Every time someone whines about the SPEED of certain trucks its always lower than their previous post now its down to 53 MPH
