Are Companies Really Looking for Drivers?

Wilson has a real good reputation and you can also run coast to coast if you want.

Someone posted something about Wilson this week. Most of the school is hands on and driving vs. sitting in a classroom watching videos.

If you meant Western Dairy Transport there is a recent graduate on here and he said the training is excellent and the meals served during school are also excellent.

 

I haven’t seen how much experience you have, but I’ll just assume you have never driven a tanker... excuse my assumptions if you in fact do have experience.

you’re not ready for a tanker if you’re straight out of school. No matter what anyone says.

How do I know this?

I’m straight out of school.... got hired to haul food grade in tanks. You know what? Hit a few steep grades up and down, constant on the up shift and downshift... throw some engine brake in there. Now add a little ice and snow, and narrow those roads a bit.

A tanker is not an easy drive, especially for someone just out of school.

This is all moot if you have experience, nevertheless, if you’re thinking “I can handle it”.... have an instructor take you through some hills with narrow roads in the winter, and sprinkle in small towns...

then tell me how “easy” it is..,

 

By the way, I admitted I wasn’t ready and they agreed. We parted ways.. no harm no foul. Great company, told me to come back when I had some experience.

 

not sure of their status (covid) but might look at R.E. West out of Ashland City, TN
