wil-trans

I still can't believe drivers complain about paying for things. It's called "The cost of doing business" just like when a mechanic buys his own tools, or when you use your cell phone for company business. First off why not facilitate the process with a small investment. Its not like you have to buy the truck, or the freight and then get reimbursed for it. Secondly just like ironpony said. Its tax deductible.

 

Does anyone have any info on Wil-trans? Are they good or bad? Do they have a good program for New drivers? Do they comp school?

 

I'll be there on the 31st. I'll let ya know.

 

Check the "Hiring studens in Florida" thread or just search Wil-Trans also.

 

There is a Wil Trans about an hour from where i live, they have been looking for drivers, accepting resumes, i have sent them a resume and called and never heard anything back yet they are still looking for a driver.

 

I was supposed to go with them last october. Talked to Randy for about 2 months leading up to my leaving home, kept telling me everything was good. Hadn't been OTR in a while but still been driving, was told a month maybe two to get back in the swing of things with a trainer. It was looking good. Better half called him a few times with her own concerns and after talking to him was on board also. So I went ahead and gave my 2 weeks at my then current employer, called Randy to let him know I was good and looking forward to coming on board. It's then that he decided to change his story about training that I would be out 6 months or so yadda yadda yadda. So needless to say I didn't go with them, the OL called him ripped him a new one, and I fell into a local union gig here in Philly about a week after that. Not so big on unions but the company is decent and I'm making pretty good money. I was really disappointed in not going with Wil-Trans, was looking forward to running the road again and they seemed like a decent company but it's much nicer being in my own bed. I would just caution to be sure all your ducks are in a row and be certain that what you're being told is accurate. Randy was a hell of a nice guy and my experience dealing with him was great up to the point I was ready to leave home. Good luck with them, keep us posted on how it goes, not alot of info here on them.

 

Well I think that Wil-trans is going to com drivers and mostly L\O like Prime but does not cost as much and better trucks. That my be why they told you 6mo's..

 

So didthey tell you 6mo's?

 

This thread hasn't had any activity in awhile....anyone have any updates. Hubby and I are looking at this company; i finish school in September. thanks

 

I know a little bit about Wil-Trans and iam thinking about going to drive for them I was just wondering if any one out there knew nething about them or what kinda miles there getting?
