Best of luck. From what I read here on TT Wilson is a great company. I am sure some of their drivers will soon chime in.
Well i have checked into the hotel, to start my training with Wilson Logistics. So far I will say that the few people that I have met have been great. I met one Lease Operator who was kind enough to show me the inside of his truck, so I could get a good idea of what to expect in the coming week. Things have changed a little bit with the hotel room. They now have you bunk with someone, so its no longer single occupancy, which doesn't bother me at all. This coming week for training its supposed to be raining and storming for the first 3 days, so i have went to Walmart and bought some rain gear. I will say that i am excited and nervous at the same time going into this journey. Once tomorrow is over and I do the one thing that I need to do tomorrow I will post my update, and will try to update as often as i can. Right now I'm just relaxing and going to start to study my 4 stage air brake script so I will be ready for the informal test on Wednesday. Thanks to everyone who has giving me advice along the way. I look forward to more helpful advice along this journey. Keep safe everyone

Hiya, Ben A. ! (Did you get engaged, to J'Lo?) <<< Just kidding!
Wonder if that L/O is our own, Texas Tim?
While you're at it, look into Mt. Matt .... Mountain Matt!!
Here's Texas Tim's link; he doesn't stop in much. Trucking Truth is not a 'huge' proponent re: Leasing. He decided on that route, with Wilson; which is an awesome company. Texas Tim!
Best wishes, Benjamin!
(You'll be making some, soon!)

I know that it has been a little while since I have posted any updates on myself. I made it through the first week and did my 2 weeks of training at the local Kraft plant in Springfield MO. Today 5-4-2022 I will be taking my test to get my CDL. It's been a journey this far. I will post more later today if I pass on my first try or if I will have to retake it again next week.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
