    Ok, I very recently left Knight transportation. I used them for what I needed from them which was getting some OTR experience and was done.
    I have pre hire letters from several companies right now to work for and WEL companies is one of them.
    WEL so far is the one that is really catching my interest but I am having a very hard time finding any info on the company other than from thier website and the recruiter. Any info from the trenches would be most appreciated.

    What I think I know so far...

    Newer equipment (dont know what types though)
    .38 cents per mile, loaded and empty
    regional or 48
    APU and inverters in trucks
    No forced dispatch
    Decent home time
    Medical benefits
    E-logs
    Trucks i have seen always seem to be clean and well maintained
    The few drivers I have spoken to seem happy with the company.

    Anything additional or if anyone can expand on what i already know would be a great help.

    "No forced dispatch" ? Don't believe it for a second. With any company.

    Oh, I am not delusional. Last company I was with claimed no forced dispatch as well, while they wouldn't actually force you to run a load they were quite good at making it quite clear that refusing to run something would not be in your best interest.
    But good lookin out for us all the same my friend.

    Think Twice and do more research before go for WEL
    Here is my story: I'm in Dallas,TX and a recent Grad CDL.
    Schneider and WEL call me back a day after submitted my application.
    According to Truck report I pick WEL with APU and more mile;
    I suppost to take Gray hound from Dallas,TX to Green Bay,WI for 4 1/2 week training
    I got Gray Hound Confirmation number, Taxi phone number etc from WEL companies recruiter name Jody Dufek.
    When I arrived Gray hound station in Dallas downtow on Lamar st.
    Guest What ! No confirmation number !
    No Ticket ! have been reserved under my name or WEL company.
    The confirmation number that I have under someone name and go to New York not Green Bay,WI.
    I have been call and wating an hour and 1/2 at Gray Hound station for WEL companies to call me back...( Na da and go home)
    Two hours later after I got home...WEL's recruiter name TJ call me and gave me another Gray hound comfirmation number for Ticket.
    I need to think twice and more ! I'm not sure I'll have Taxi to pick me up ! I'm not sure I'll have Hotel for the night !
    More than that ! If I decide to work for WEL companies " I'm not sure I'll have WEL Support team when I needed"
