What do you mean "You and every other individual that thinks like you is exactly what is wrong with this industry"? I agree with most of what MJ has to say, does that mean I am part of the problem? 22 1/2 years in this industry and WE are what is wrong? I guess guys who think like we do all just have the golden horseshoe of trucking stuck up our butts. It is all luck, we never worked for anything. You see these guys and girls bellyaching every week about their problems. If you people would spend less time whining about your problems and more time solving your problems you wouldn't have most of your problems. Boo hoo hoo, you went from Swift, to Central, to Schneider and still don't get any respect? If you cant find anybody to hire you then you haven't knocked on enough doors. When you guys finally find get away from the larger trucking companies you will forget about "Destination Excellence" "The Power of Red" "Best in Class" and the rest of the koolaid swilling lackeys.

These so called Mega's that so many of you like to rail against you do it because of the reputation that those companies have gotten. Many have gotten it because they deserve it, others because drivers screwed up and refuse to admit that it was their fault. So we get these one hit wander posters on here. We are told many times to go with a smaller company, youll get treated better, youll be more of a name, not a number. And that may be true for some. However how many posts have we seen where drivers will post about a small outfit being garbage and treating them like ####? How many posts have we seen where those drivers are complaining that they had money come up missing, and then later find out that they were taking advances to where they were broke?
I promise everyone this...When TMC doesnt work out for me, Ill do what everyone expects. Ill post here about it. Only difference is, my post will detail exactly what happened, and if its my fault, Ill admit to it. -
In before the lock.
Glad TMC and all of the others rejected me while in school. Glad I Didn't have to go through all of this B.S. to finally land locally. It took longer but it was a fair trade IMO.
Carry on.

Well this thread went in a direction I didn't see coming . . . The OP had a simple question which has a very simple answer >> Don't screw up.

Dryver Thanks this.

No worries......hey you said something Gunner "so they fall for they tag lines from the large carriers".........THAT simple phrase right there is ALL that me or MJ or anyone else is trying to get people's eyes open to. I think your's are!!
Whatever's made your day bad......go have a dinner and a beer.....tomorrow will be better!! Carry on!MJ1657 Thanks this. -
This thread all started because of one question about a well known flatbed company. They have their tag line of Destination Excellence. However, I scrutinize everything before I make a leap. I fell for that once with the Military. I had options, The same ones that most have after CDL school. However ive seen first hand what the Mega's do to their people. All my research led to TMC. They want quality drivers. And they dont just take anyone. They couldve gotten rid of me after my physical, due to my medications. They couldve told me that my accident last year on my motorcycle was a disqualifying incident like CR England did (thankfully). After CR England told me no, that was when I found this website. It was this website that I had first learned of TMC. Not some commercial, or advertisement on the web. It was the lack of negative posts from others that were from the last year.

Is TMC employee owned now? Seems things would change.
-
Yes TMC is an ESOP. However Harold Annette still has ownership of the greater majority of the stock, he is turning over shares each corner to the employees.
