    Anybody know anything about WTI? Do they stay mostly in the South? Do they get you home on weekends? I've been driving for TMC for the last 5 months. I'm pretty happy with them, but I prefer to spend most of my time in the South if possible. WTI's website looks good, but all trucking companies make themselves look good. I'd like to get answers from an actual WTI driver.

    Great company to work for, get home most weekends and make really good money. Run mostly in South, but will go into Midwest from time to time. Only north to Chicago. They really treat you right, no complaints, doi what they say. Try to make things right for the driver.

    they are a pretty good company.... treat you real good and can make good money
