    Ok day one of orientation started rough with times in my emails making me almost 45min late for first day of school. Ugh. I can say that Iam excited truly excited to start working for wfx. I’ve been assigned my brand spanking new peterbuilt 389 as told they had trucks available. It was not promised to me or held for me. They treat us like adults and are more than willing to answer ever possible question you can think of. Literally anything! Every answer has been what I felt was unfiltered truth of what they are offering in plain black and white. Granted this is only day one but my view of wfx has done a straight 132* turn I’ll post picks of my truck shortly too. But Iam excited!!!


    Note after a conversation today with a unnamed wfx employee I stand behind a statement of. Wfx during my recruiting stage was in a state of policy change or something coupled with some unforeseeable events in the workplace. I feel somethings were left to the wayside and the ball was dropped in some areas. Still by any wfx recruiter I was never lied to nor promised any part of the rainbow

    So $145.00 and then say based on a 2500 mile week it would be $625.00 plus $145.00=$770 right? How many months

    It’s more a mileage lease not a time lease so more miles ran = less time to payoff
    Amount of mileage for lease completion is dependent on truck u get into
