Question:
Anyone have info on this company. My friend wants
to drive. He said they hire trainees. His computer
took a nose dive. He will bury it next week. So I
am doing the post for him. We both live in Texas.
Any heads up would help. I checked out their web
page. Looks like a good company. 90 days of otr
with trainer.
Thanks-Be Cool

Answer:
Well you should have more than one opinion about them...I can't say anything because I don't know anything about them. If that's True, Thats just training. Heck its only 4 weeks with a trainer, than you can do what you want, the way you want. The only down fall is no raises ($0.24 a mile straight) but, if you can get 3000-3500 miles per week off them its not so bad until you find another company you can sign with.

Answer:
It's not one opinion as midnightrunner says..It is dozens..
There are dozens and dozens of negative opinions on Prime, in which working for Wil-Trans is the same as working for Prime..
Your employer will be Prime, your pay checks will say Prime, your W-2 will say Prime and everything else will say Prime...
Your truck might say Wil-Trans on the side, but everything else will say Prime..
Your DAC report when you leave will say Prime..
You will be working for Prime!

Answer:
Because they are a part of Prime I would just stay away from them. Very few drivers ever make any money there. You will be expected to stay out for weeks at a time for little and often no pay.
A driver and his wife I just went through orientation with was there for 9 months. He stated that it cost him $9000, dolars to drive there although he was always running. He had to withdraw from his savings acoount just to make household bills. If a team operation running 24/7 can't make some money no one will. The odds are against you.
Any companies who's main goal is leasing a truck is not a good choice.

Answer:
Thanks for the info. I do not know why companies
like Prime, Will-Trans & England push so hard for
the truck lease. H##l's Bells, England will will lease a truck to a trainee right out of OTR training. I told my friend to check out Swift.
Stay with them for a year or 2. Then you can move
on to a better job. Will-Trans has some nice trucks. Pulling a reefer for .24 per mile does
not make sense. Go dry van.
