    Hey guys, Wilson logistics called a bit ago and was giving me info on the school and the process. Any info on the school in Springfield Missouri would be appreciated.

    I understand them to be a quality carrier, but I’m as you know not an insider so I have very little info.

    Thanks!

    Put that in the search bar on here; you'll get results. Look up Wil/Trans, what they used to go by, also. Offhand, I don't know anyone there from here....sorry. Maybe @Chinatown would know who to tag... .(?!?) :)

    I don't know anything negative about the company. Don't know any current drivers working there.
    Real good pay structure.

    Sounds like a sweet truck minus the trans. I know they have gotten a lot better but I got one when they were in their infancy and still have a bad taste in my mouth about it. They had to fly engineers from Freightliner out to us twice to try to get the programming right on them and they liked to eat xy solenoids.

    Tell her, when you move to Montana that's where Wilson headquarters is and you won't have to change jobs.

    Yeah! I told her, but I may have to start in Springfield Missouri for a spell...

    Also I’m not understanding pay during the initial three week training. It says I get 200 dollars advanced per week. Is that all I’ll be making while in the school??

    I don't know. How long is the school? I think Wilson has mostly OJT on the road.
