    After reading some the true horror stories on this board.. I don't feel so bad now about treatment from TLD.. First, Everybody at TLD is polite and professional, and my concerns are strictly regarding pay and scheduling.. and secondly, I worked for them as a casual, so they may treat their "regulars" differently... but before you work for them you should know, they have two main focuses.. auto suppliers, and a food service account.. It's the food service side you need to avoid (unless you like working for FREE!).. TLD will load multiple stops on the trailer, usually close together, but scheduled to be delivered 8 hours apart! and because some are Walmarts DC, and other food DC's, expect to be at each stop for 2-3 hours. TLD's food service business is dispatched 60 miles from their terminal. So a typical day is hook an empty on the yard, swap it for a load 60 miles away, drive 500 miles for a 2-3 hour delivery, then wait 6-7 hours to deliver the second stop on the trailer, usually at Walmart, so another 2-3 hour wait.. So to do it log book legally, you have 2 full days into your 550 mile run..at .34 cents per mile.. Congratulations, you made $187 for your 2 long days work or about minimum wage... so do your homework, but you'd be better off working FOR Walmart rather than delivering for TLD to Walmart's and other food service DC's.. Happy Trucking!

    TLD hires student drivers and doesn't discriminate on age. They are committed to getting drivers home on weekends, but the "weekend" may be Thursday PM to Saturday AM. 33 cents per mile to start, and probably average 2,000 to 2,500 miles at first. Knoxville is the home terminal and works mainly with a national bakery chain and Toyota auto parts suppliers. There are other terminals around the southeast. Look them up at http://tldlogistics.com

    The wife and I actually ran team in the Toyota side. We ran Ky to Texas 3 times a week. We also left TLD about a month and a half ago. They started to pinch pennies and the maintenance dept was causing us down time..

    I actually left TLD in May of this year! It is a great company to drive for. Smaller in size and some great group of dispatchers. My biggest complaint was that there were too many chiefs and not enough indians in the office! We also ran into problems with the maintenance dept not doing what they said they did on the equipment! I have several close friends that work in the office and most of these issues have been corrected whenbthey cleaned house with the maintenance dept. They started to pinch pennies on their automotive side and that's why my wife and I left. They do NOT offer take home trucks after a few drivers decided to not own a vehicle and we're using company trucks for personal use. Their trucks are mainly Kenworth T660 and some T680s. They also have a bunch of International Prostars as well.
