    Hey all,

    Been lurking a while and I've seen good things about W/S for new drivers. They're high on my list when I ditch my current work for the road. I'm just wondering if there is any slowdown for the company in the winter as far as hiring/miles for drivers? Any insight appreciated, thanks.

    Freight generally sucks in January and February. They're probably still hiring though to prepare newbies for spring freight. March was pretty good this year, at least for me.

    Thanks for the info. Depending on how the next couple of months go I could be starting out this winter so good to know there's still atleast some work around.
