My TMC experience.

It's a light bulb. You are complaining about a LIGHT BULB.. You need a hobby, and a work ethic. My girlfriend doesn't even ##### like you do. I bet he has a real "high dollar" van job now where he doesn't even have to break a sweat. Be careful not to break a nail, cupcake.

 

I believe they get you home for Christmas for sure, but New Years isn't a guarantee? It's been a couple years since I've cared haha.

 

Good for you.. good job.. you deserve a raise.. better yet.. Will make you a trainer! Did you make sure your paperwork was transflowed as well? Don't forget to put the pro number on top of the receipt or you'll have to resubmit it! and one more thing, don't forget to use edge protectors!!

 

I realize this is not my argument but that has to be the most immature post you have made thus far. Did you really just suggest that submitting paperwork back to the office via Transflo was somehow a unique and unnecessary TMC problem? We shouldn't be putting the pro number on the documents so they can be tracked and applied to the correct account? My favorite is that you think damaging the cargo and / or the straps is cooler than using the edge protectors. Yourethejoke1

 

Enough with the bickering. This is Gunner's thread about his TMC experience and up until the trash talking, I've enjoyed it so far. I'm looking at going with this company (some may agree, others may not) for some flatbed experience. Reading about his trials, tribulations, good times, and bad times...it seems like the good is far outweighing the bad. While there is never a perfect situation when one is working for "the man," it is always what we make of it.
Gunner -- your experiences have really helped me in narrowing down my choices of which company I would like to work for. Thank you so much for posting everything that you have. Please keep up the good work and ignore some of the Negative Nancies around here. They are in every thread and every company's section that I have browsed through.
BZ brother!

 

Alright Gunner I'll take the 1st step to get this thing back on the rails. Just finished my second week out solo. Left Des Moines last Tuesday around noon. The first week I was able to exceed training pay even though it was a partial week. I didn't get a 34 hour reset last weekend because the loads didn't get me home until Saturday and I had to leave again Sunday afternoon. This week was a full week. It was a little rough running on recap, I fought the 70 hour clock the last couple of days, but I managed the clock as best I could. Had a couple of significant delays, one at a shipper and one at a receiver, causing me to not make a delivery at all on Wednesday. Even though "trucking happened" I still managed to gross over $900 and my tarp pay put me just over $1000 on my first full week.
For everyone reading Gunner has not been blowing smoke. The people saying they failed to make any money were doing something wrong. If you hustle and manage your clock the numbers Gunner has been reporting are realistic.

 

Does your truck auto start your clock? If so, how is it factored in? MPH, distance moved, etc.?
