Hi everyone, has anyone had any experience with Wil Trans? There training program or worked for them. I know they pull Prime trailers and also own Jim Palmer. I have read through the review of training in company sponsored training section. Very similar to Prime's program. They seem like a good starting point. Just looking for any direct experience with them. Whew!!! Narrowed my choices to these, Wil Trans, Swift, Millis Transfer,Prime, R E West, Knight Transportation ( only if
40 hr. refresher course) would not accept me in CDL program because I already have a valid CDL - ZERO experience though. Any Wil Trans out there. Turned up nothing in search. Thanks 😂
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.
Company Sponsored Training:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.
