    Don't really know how truly good they are but for what I read and heard from drivers there you can make good money and do great.

    Training is 7 weeks @ $500 a week, but is divided in 2 weeks in Iowa learning flatbedding and than 5 weeks out with a trainer.

    At the end of first 2 weeks they give out a $250 bonus and at the end of the other 5 weeks also another $250

    They also work by load percentage. Anywhere from 23% minimum from what they making on each individual load up to 32% if you meet bonuses and specific incentives.

    Am personally thinking to join them...

    They give you the option to get paid cpm @ $0.48 avg but you'd be running around 2200 miles, so load percentage sounds more appealing to me. Also they have this thing that as a driver you are given private TMC company stocks.

    yea if i do go over there i would plan on going on percentage i know my buddy had 2 weeks of training because he had driving experence but no flatbed was hoping to make the move when he was able to train me if they would allow that but i am thinking i may want to move sooner than that
