Jim Palmer and Wilson Trans

At least it's not Russians

 

Iranians, really? No way..I can't find any info on that, probably Indians

 

So both Wilson Logistics and Jim Palmer are both Iranian owned now ?

 

I'm confused now. LOL

 

I may be wrong give them a call.

 

They're owned by Daryl Wilson as well as one other small company in orgeon whose name I forget and they contract with prime to haul ptime reefer. I'm up in Montana with JP and I like it. It is family owned .Also from what I hear Jim Palmer himself went nearly bankrupt with the company originally but I don't think about that too much.

 

What do they pay per mile when you get done with their school ? Also, what about detention/breakdown and accessory pay ?

 

.40/mi and up to .05/mile fuel bonus. Detention and layover depends on the load. Not the best money, I'm sure, but works for me or well should I hope we will see. During on the road training for c and b seat it's 600 or 700 wk min.

 

How many miles to make a week and do they keep you rolling or sitting wait times between load assignments. What's your average weekly take home after deductions?

 

Dunno yet as haven't gotten to that point so far. But I personally haven't heard any of the drivers coming through the terminal complain to much. Darwin, the head yrainer and the one who was with the company wills when it was owned by Jim Palmer estimates about 200/day ish to start once you get your own truck otr. Regional pays more but not much and keep in mind it's mostly all reefer so I'm told waits are common.
