wel companies

At $50 a week, for 6 months !!!!!


Why on earth would ANYBODY agree to that ?????

 

What is this $50 a week deal?

 

i was contacted by wel ,back in april,they said they were interested in hireing me and wanted to know when i could come to trainning and orentation,i told the 1st of may..i needed to give my former job a 2 week notice,i said make sure that u r going to hire me,the next monday they called and told me that it was a sure thing,so i put in my 2 weeks at my old job,wel called me that friday and asked if i was sure i was commeing so they could set it up,i said yes for sure,the next week they called me 2 times telling me when to catch a plane my ticket would be waiting,the day before i was to leave,they call(with no reason at all)and said"oh sorry...we desided not to hire u!!!!" i said i done quit my job...been trained my replacement,and now u all r telling me,after calling me 2 times a week,telling me i had a job with them,and now they told me they arent going to hire me,they made me loose my job of 3 years,and nobody up there at there main office could tell me why!!! they suck!!! i had to start the job serch all over again,was unemployed because of the ####### at wel companys trucking...for over a month!! just saying,watch ur back!! they will stick a knife in it and wont give u a reason why!!!

 

So are they a good company ? Whats there regional like any miles? ....

 

I gave them a try. They are no different than Schneider or any of the other trucking outfits. A lot of promises with little to back it up. I quit after 3 months, stayed on the road 5-6 weeks, never brought home more than $700 a wk. I was forced dispatched which was fine but my normal run was 900 miles over 3 days with a lot of sitting at customers. Good equipment but not a company I would "jump to" as they are they same as everyone else.

 

DO not work for this company!!!!! they wont give you anymiles!!!! i was there 3 yrs! as soon as the owners son took over it all went to ####!!!! youve been warned!!!!! your better off selling your ### at the truck stop!!!! for real!!!!!

 

I thought I had done my homework when I decided to apply to Wel. Good scores and a low turnover rate. I no longer work for them. I lasted 8 months. I stayed out 30 days at a time. I was run more like a regional driver ( just in different regions) than a OTR driver.A big week for me was about 1700 miles. Staying out , working 7 days a week, that just won't fly.

There is a reason that they NEED to have at least 10 bodies every week for orientation. It's not because they have 10 new trucks every week.

I have since moved on and am with a new company. Only been here a week but it looks good .

The one positive note to my time with Wel was that they put on my Dac that I was eligible for a re-hire. ( Not that it mattered to me with 37 years in all this). But it was nice.

I would also like to add that they are nice people. In every terminal I went to, everyone was nice. But that don't pay the light bill at home.

Be Safe and motor on!

Wel there regional sux ... If you like 600 miles in 3 days this would be the perfect job for ya....1200 to 1700 a week and a lot of sitting and waiting. Not for me
