    I'm currently a student graduating in June 2014 trying to decide on the right company, just wondering what the hometime would be like with tmc with where I live? Lenoir nc. I see tmc trucks parked near I-40 mostly every weekend I'm. Considering tmc or mcelroy any advice greatly appreciated thanks

    If you're in their normal freight area they can get you home on the weekends. They'll tell you that you cant deadhead home, before I left one of the trainers I spoke to said that "If they try to give you a crap load on your way home you just tell them hell no and either you deadhead home or they give you a good load." I'm leaving for my first week of driving with them tomorrow, so if you have questions feel free to pm me.

    Lol no you will not deadhead home unless there are special circumstances. And yes sometimes you will get a load that doesn't pay that great to get you home. It all depends on what area you are in. The crap load is the trade off for gettin home every weekend. Freight is always dependant on what area you are in some are better than others. I've been getting good loads home for the most part. But the crap loads do happen. It's just part of the job.

    I'm in northeast NC about 30 miles south of Chesapeake, Va. I have been doing a ton of reading on different places to start at and TMC is close to the top but that was while I was still in Ohio. How is the east coast region and does it cover NC/VA on the cost? Thanks
