    I can tell you my experiences...

    Been LP with them 6 months now. My avg to truck over that time is $4500 week. Ive seen as high as $7700 and as low as 1200 on weeks I go home. I usually take home 1800 to 2300 consistently.

    I've never waited more than a 10 hour break between loads. Usually preplanned before delivery.

    Does Wilson have driver facing cameras?

    Thank you for the inquiring on my request information. I think someone posted here asking if Wilson puts drive cams in their trucks? What is your monthly lease truck payment if you mind if I ask? Its a option I am think of instead of company. I will have already two retirements under my belt and this is one of my things on my bucket list I want to do before I leave this planet. LOL.

    Are you on the Jim Palmer or the Wil-Trans side?

    I was under the impression that Palmer only did west of the Mississippi and Wil-Trans did the east?
