what a crock.....truck movers is so full of crap

And just ask international and Volvo,,,truck movers do not hold those contracts,,,,,iron tiger does!

 

Great drivers! Please....im sure there are good ones but I remember this women come on board from driving a school bus. She never shifted a day in her life. the first day they put her behind the wheel of a tandom axel tractor. International prostar...not an automatic. You can guess how she did.
There dispatch are cruel and get off on stranding you or getting you to take a load you lose money on. Because it's more money for them. Trust me it comes from the top down. In fact there about to lose volvo.

 

I do really well with TM . Like any business it is what you make of it . Some Un Deckers make 3 k a week. . If you're drive away without a tow vehicle you're .70 cents to a dollar a mile and you pay taxis buses rental car planes etc . Successful contractors have a tow away vehicle and run out of a hub . Short trips that pay up to 1.30 a mile , then return home every day . If longer trips are offered like over nights then it's up to you as a contractor to negotiate extra money for the dead head . I hub , terminal to terminal with 3 or 4 way decks and do very well . Cab to terminal and checked bags are reimbursed , I just pay for the cab to the airport . They pay travel , air or rental car . Fuel is reimbursed on surcharge about 2.50 a gallon currently. .Side note , TM will hook you up with a 1500 dollar blue ox tow package custom to your vehicle and deduct it in payments . The escrow is 1500 and it's in case you damage a vehicle in transit

 

Im supposed to be starting at TM moving Piggy Backs later this week. Is the pay good? What can I expect to make? Can you tell me a little bit about the company and how it works?

 

It's good money , 1 to 1.10 a mile depending on length of haul . You'll take three or four way trucks terminal to terminal and travel will be arranged for you when requested . They'll ask your ETA and when you want travel which is usually a plane ride into DFW then Laredo or San Antonio . Sometimes a rental car which they'll book and pay for , reimbursing gas and taxi from airport to terminal .Ten percent of each settlement till you teach about a 1500 dollar escrow and tools and 100 a month in workers comp insurance are your fixed expenses . After fuel which is surcharged and motel expect about .70 a mile gross profit

 

Hi there I'm a female trucker and Ironworker with the Ironworkers union and I'm going to work for TM after reading all the negativity here I felt discouraged after reading what you had to say I'm going to follow through I'm a hard worker and I make things work for me I'm an action person Thank you for the words

 

Oh forgot I'm also going to do decks

 

If you do decks you'll never be out of work . Helps if you can go into Canada , also . I know a deck driver who made a gross profit of 1 k in 17 hours with a deck plus Mack bonus out of Macungie . If you run hard they will keep you in the green . Like most other companies , effort equals reward here . If you use the tools they provide there is no reason you cannot make 500 a day , they provide fuel plans on all the NaviStar loads with prices , routes , etc . It's all about how smart you are , fuel low , run miles , a few extra miles a day saves a motel stay , but drive clean and comfortable . I like driving new equipment and showering and sleeping in a bed every night . I use an Expedia app for hotels . Take singles when they're offered , because they pay for the motel and cab on the back end . I ran a single out of Pacific , Wa where I delivered my deck , then took a single to Portland and made 170 dollars in three hours , used Expedia to book a nice room at the Ramada for 69 dollars ( normally 115) with a free shuttle to the airport . Keep in mind , every deadhead movement except for cab to terminal or rental cars they provide , will cost your bottom line . Itineraries are provided with cabs and cost to your air travel so you always know what it will cost up front . There is a Union shop in Macungie if you want to sign in with the Teamsters .

 

Wow I'm so happy i found you what are you saying this is a union job what state is that union in to sign up ASAP and where are you now hauling i have 14yrs doing this trucking thing and i know how to riganything from the ironworker union and i will buss my buttons off for a good pay please get back to me thank you and have a great day
