Not sure which way to go...Werner/CRST/WSE/Windy

This is not intended to sound like I am bragging.

With so many folks struggling to get on with one company, I currently sit with 4 opportunities (3 in hand and 1 expected in next couple of days)

Werner and CRST - team situations

Windy Hill and WSE Transportation - solo situations

I have read all the posts. Done all the analysis I can and I have no idea which way I should go.

I plan to stay a minimum of 1 year wherever I end up. Hopefully longer.

Thoughts?

 

May I ask why you are so positive on WSE? And yes, it's Willis Shaw Ex.

Are you an O/O? If so, are you leased on to a company? If yes, who?

If a co. driver, who do you drive for?

Just curious.

Thanks again.

 

Thanks notarps...

Yeah, I understand the farce that is a pre-hire.

I really don't want this to sound boastful but I am fortunate that I kept my nose clean during my life and really carry no baggage.

Never been to jail or even close and if I may say so myself, I am a pretty good driver (got my training in the woodyard of a large papermill squeezing trucks and trailers in places that some wouldn't believe).

Although a newb to the OTR world, I know that I will be a good driver just based on how I have done other things in my life. Again, not boasting, just have had good training and experiences along the way.

So, although I am pretty bummed about auto trannys in the WSE equipment, I am pretty sure I will accept their invitation to go to their orientation. From there it's just a formality.

I appreciate your thoughts.

 

keb,

thanks for the feedback. I am pretty sure I'll be at orientation on the 2nd. The recruiter I am working with (Gavin Reynolds) speaks to me like a human being...totally unlike the conversations I've had with several others. Really down to earth kind of guy and he tells me the company is pretty much the same way. And cautiously...I believe him.

I figure people will always eat regardless of the economy so hauling food, etc. has to be a good thing.

A couple of questions for you...did you have experience when you started with them? how was your time with your trainer (if applicable)? how many miles are you averaging per week? What is your average length of load? Are you going to all 48? Do you spend much time sitting? Last question, other than the noise and maybe maintenance issues on a reefer unit, are there other issues?

thanks...it's good to hear from one who is actually in a WSE seat.
