Wil-Trans: A Small Company with Big Company Perks

By: Wil-Trans

In 1990 a group of former drivers took their knowledge of the industry and a track record of success to begin Wil-Trans with 12 trucks. Almost 15 years later Wil-Trans has a story that anyone would be proud to tell. Today they have grown to an over the road fleet of more than 100 trucks. However they don?t let their success go to their heads. They know that all of their accomplishments would not have been possible without quality drivers. That?s why their motto of ?Our Drivers MAKE IT HAPPEN? gives credit where credit is due.

Wil-Trans is a small company leased onto Prime Inc. one of the largest refrigerated carriers in the country. Due to this relationship they can offer owner operators the comfort of a small company as well as many perks offered by an industry leader. ?We can provide owner operators the best of both worlds? Rhonda Thornton safety director of the owner operator program for Wil-Trans said. ?We are
unique in the fact that we know all of our drivers by name but at the same time they can take advantage of amenities such as the gym movie theater and cafeteria at Prime?s facility.?

This family atmosphere also extends into the company?s operations. As a Wil-Trans owner operator you?ll have one load manager. This means you will be able run in preferred traffic lanes and set your own home time. You?ll have access to Prime?s trailer pool and vast freight network. Wil-Trans also provides you with fuel & tire discounts nationwide 100% fuel surcharge reimbursement weekly pay as well as awards and benefits that match industry leaders.

Wil-Trans has had primarily lease operators since it?s beginning. Wil-Trans and Prime have recently developed the Advance Program which now allow Wil-Trans to help owner operators to be successful too. Under this program drivers without their own authority can work for Wil-Trans haul Prime?s trailers and get paid on a weekly basis. Also these new owner operators will be able to eliminate many of the costs that decrease their profits. ?We offer better rates and better lanes than owner operators would be able to get on their own? Thornton stated.
