wil-Trans Springfield MO

What's with the flaming? I only told my story, have no reason to talk smack, I was looking forward to going with them. I've been driving on and off since '95 so I pretty well know what I am doing, not that I know it all but I've been around a bit. I was told one thing and when it came time to roll the story changed, nothing more nothing less. I heard exactly what was going on perfectly clear thru several conversations. No biggie. I found something else making good money, company paid benefits, sleeping in my own bed at night. From talking to others they seem like a decent outfit, just not for me.

 

so i just finnished my app. with randy.hes going to call in the morning to let me know every thang good to go . I do live in FLORIDA not a problem so far. I completed a driving school here in florida called truck driving institute inc. or tdi.have my cdl with hasmat.I've have been looking for a company to hire out of florida for 3 months wil - trans is the first. all other is saying a no hiring area.zip 32504.I'm glad I came passed this thread, I've been looking for info on wil trans. Thanks for all your in puts it has raised alot of ? for me. I going to ask few ? let you know what is said. realy thanks

 

Randy is back? He quit because he got tired of lying to drivers...anyway...I drove for wil-trans (posted what I knew about them at the beginning of the thread)...If you decide against wil-trans...I overheard 2 drivers that work for Western Express, one of them lives in Florida...might be worth a shot..

Company based drivers will also be available starting at .28 cpm to .36 cpm depending on experience. well what do thank???????

 

Hay! Thanks I did give them a ring. sent them the app. I'll call tomorrow to let you what they siad.

 

well I did call;but because I'm 6'1'' and about 160pd.they said no.what the heck is that about. THE NFL HAS LINE BACKER WHO 300 +PD.They seem to be able to touch there toes. No really I can understand being 300 pd in a truck. With just in & out of the truck.But I'm not floppen around because I've fallen and I cant get up! ha ha ha wheee hear we go.

 

Just to be clear on this: You need to have completed a training school and have your CDL to begin the Wil-Trans training program?

 

Sounds very much like the Prime training program. IMO, Prime does a pretty good job with the training deal... I imagine that WilTrans will do a good job as well.

 

Hubby and I are teaming with Wil-Trans (I'm waiting for orientation while he's driving for them now). It's hard to sign a contract and pay for more training but.....let's face it there aren't very many companies out there running the miles they are and paying decent.

 

Not by the web site;It said they send you to C-1 driver training school for 3 weeks to get your cdl in same town,city,state.I'm don't sure I did not ask.I my self already went to cdl school with job placement program that sucks or it's that bad.
