Years ago, even before i started, TMC diddn't care if you ran illegal, though they wouldn't ever force you to do so. At the time there were alot of drivers "maximizing" their time legally, that was all nipped in the bud by some hefty DOT fines, and is no longer an issue.
Do they let you get away with little things here and there? Perhaps. 3000 drivers are a chore to keep track of. Will you get busted if you are a repeat offender? Absolutely.
They never asked me to run illegal, if anything ever came up that disabled me from making my delivery on time, my Fleet manager would simply reschedule the load, i never got into any trouble for anything out of my control.
Good luck to you.southernbamaboy Thanks this. -
TMC being banned from the east coast is absolute bunk, it's not even possible.

Yeah i agree, never heard of that before hehe.

I agree 100%. After a while the work isn't really hard anymore, but it's still nice to spend some time outside of the truck moving around. I don't imagine i'll ever want to pull anything besides flatbed.
I like having to use my brain to tie stuff down sometimes, too. >.< -
But TMC does not tolorate driving dirty. they do things by the book. I left because flatbeddin sucks right now and I have a regional route with my new company. -
I like to park at the customer, take the straps off, and let the forklift unloading me wake me up in the morning. Hey, I'm not on duty until I get up and out. I usually don't wake up until they're half done anyway, lol.

..i thought TMC had a rule you couldn't be in the truck when they are unloading, thought i read that here on an ealier post, maybe it was another thread, correct me if I'm wrong..
