Thinking About start with TMC.

I just read your other post. 3500 is 0ver a 1000 bucks a week to you with a tarp charge or 2. Where are you from? All companies dispatch less miles then you actually drive. its industry standard and is the same in 95% of the companies out there. If you plan your routes you should be able to get oor to 5%. Im at 3%.

You will get upgraded to a 579 soon. They are selling all the 379. how many miles does yours have on it.

Also, NEVER submit your empty before your Fm gets in. You will be on yesterdays freight board if you do. Submit right as he gets in. Thats probably a big part of your problem.

Also, your story doesnt add up. on your other thread you said you average 3500 to truck. here you say each load average 550. Unless your getting 7 loads a week, thos numbers dont add up. (most of us get 5) What does your 13 week history on your snapshot say?

 

How much do you get paid during training and the otr till you are on your own for a experienced driver?

 

Call recruiting, it changes depending on your area. The sometimes have deals for specific areas.

 

EZ pass, pre pass provided, as is all job related equipment, winter fuel additive, etc. The only money out of pocket will be an occasional toll in OK or KS because they don't us EZ Pass but you get it repaid on your next check.

 

The revenue will go up if you leave in order to be there Sun night and set your self up for the week right. Sounds like MPG is fair to good. That leave your OOR. That actually is more important to focus on than you may realize. If you don't have one, invest in a Rand GPS. Soon. It'll pay for itself if you use it wisely. The weight put on OOR is higher if you look at the points you can earn from it...try to get it to below 5% and you'll see things change. It takes daily focus and being able to think on the fly through each load, looking for opportunities to cut the miles. A good example is Silver Grove to MI...take the time hit and use US27 north instead of running around on 275.

What percentage are you at now and how many points?

 

So, how's the new career going? Having fun and making money, I hope??

 

Strict? In what way?

 

Cleanliness of the truck, appearance, quality of the drivers they select to hire on

 

I am ok with that. Seems like self respect and a no brainer.

 

You will need cash for tx and florida to,,,take 2 rolls of quarters to OK as some are exact change only. They will pull you over if you skip paying.
