    Which would you guy choose between Prime Inc. Or Wil-trans starting out as a driver with no prior CDL training? I heard Prime Inc. Pays more but their truck sleeper are small and Wil-trans has the decked out trucks with all the bells and whistles but they don't pay as much. Really none of that is my concern, I just want to know who has the best training????? Any input with be appreciated.

    Prime will try to get you to lease a truck and will try to get you choose a Lightweight Truck. You don't have to do either. Wil Trans will be nearly the same training & exactly the same freight as Prime nearly same pay but better trucks & better company. IMO I'd pick Wil Trans hands down.

    They have smaller class sizes as well from my understanding.

    Wil-Trans hauls freight for Prime, so may as well drive a full size truck hauling the same freight.
