Congratulations man, keep us updated. I've been speaking with recruiting at Wil-Trans and they are on my top companies so far. I'll be following your updates

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.

I just finished my D seat with Wil-Trans. Got my CDL on Weds and am back out on the road with my trainer. You're really going to appreciate your decision to go with Wil-Trans. Best decision I made. You'll see how many people go through Prime because we stay at the same hotel as their students. But when you're in a class with 2-3 students, you really get the one-on-one attention. And I think that's why I'm the 7th person to get their CDL on the first try this year. They really prepare you for it. So congrats.

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

• Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
• Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
• Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
• Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

Congrats man! I really put some time in researching the different companies and options. Wil-Trans just really stood out. I'm looking forward to the opportunity and starting something new.

Hey James, I just got accepted to Wil-Trans this week as well. I am starting a week after you unless they have an opening on the 6th. My wife and I are empty nesters and are looking to do something different for the next few years until we retire. After I get some experience under my belt, and make sure I like trucking, my wife is going to quit her job and go through training as well. I have Chris as my recruiter and I can say he is top notch. Some of the first words out of his mouth were, "We are an OTR carrier, can you be out 3-4 weeks at a time?" He hasn't tried to snow me yet as far as I can tell. He also calls me each work day just to keep in touch. I applied at Prime as well and getting info out of the recruiter is like pulling teeth. I have been researching this for years and never once thought of Wil-Trans. It was this website that turned me on to them. So far it has been a positive experience. Best of luck to you!

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
