Wil-Trans CDL Training
Topic 16685 | Page 4
Wooo Hooo!!! Congratulations.
Good job, congratulations on completing! I tried to go to the school through Wil-Trans but they turned me down because I had training before from another school, at least that's what they told me.
Wil-Trans:
Darrel Wilson bought his first tractor in 1980 at age 20, but, being too young to meet OTR age requirements, he leased the truck out and hired a driver.
Through growth and acquisition, Wil-Trans now employs over 200 drivers, and has a long-standing partnership with Prime, Inc. to haul their refrigerated freight. The family of businesses also includes Jim Palmer Trucking and O & S Trucking.
Congrats! Tell us all about your truck! You've accomplished a lot. Keep it up! 
That is a significant accomplishment Dave. Congratulations. 
Best of luck and safe travels Driver.
Hello all! Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas.
My Solo time is wrapping up. I will be back in Springfield over the weekend and will start the "on boarding" upgrade training next Tuesday.
Solo time has flown by. I've put lil over 4500 miles on this Freightliner since I recovered it in PA back on the 14th.
I feel good about everything EXCEPT my backing skills. They are horrible. I know they will improve with time & experience. In the meantime, G.O.A.L is my BFF and I use it frequently. I'm surprised none of my backing fiascos have made it to YouTube or one of the "Shame" FB pages lol. While back in SpringMO I am going to spend a lot of my down time on the practice pad backing, backing, backing and then I'm going to back some more.
I am also getting assigned an amazing Truck. It's my first trainers truck, the very first truck I drove on the road. My 1st trainer resigned and I requested the truck. Low and behold, Wil-Trans became my Santa and approved it. I'm super excited to be getting such a nice truck as a rookie.
Hope everyone has a very Happy New Year!!!
Dave

Nice truck. I think it's the same as Lazarus. Best of luck to you. Please keep us posted. If you don't mind, when did you receive your first pay? How soon after you started? Did you get the $200/wk advance? During training is your pay direct deposited into your bank account? Hope you can answer these questions.

Hello
Well tomorrow (12/14) is the big day! I'm graduating to my Solo training. Will be picking up at truck at Terminal in PA & leaving the nest on my own :-)
I'm a nervous & excited at the same time!! 😁
Fingers are crossed lol
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
