are there any current tmc drivers or past tmc drivers soon to be drivers living in michigan if so how are the lanes/home time in the detroit area I94 M59 area

Madman,


With my experience with TMC I found getting hometime was like pulling teeth. In the 10 months I drove for them I probably got home on time twice. When I ran I chose to stay out 6 weeks at a time, thus getting 6 days off. When I did eventually get home there were times when TMC wanted me to do some local type jobs during my hometime...not having that BS!!! All-in-all I think they are a good company to work for.I had a pretty good FM who was very good about getting me loads when i was empty...Longest I waited for a load was about two maybe three hours, but, that was few and far between...In retrospect I totally jumped the gun with leaving the company and would go back in a minute...I tried getting back on with them and they informed I was accepted to be re-hired, but a freeze for hiring in michigan was in effect...probably not true!!! Anyway those are my thoughts...Good luck to you if you decide to go with TMC...Oh yeah I reside at 16 and I-94...

I live in South Detroit, and i'm home every weekend, by like 5PM friday, at the latest. If i get home any later than that, i don't need to leave until Monday.

That driver must've not been leaving early enough on Sunday / Monday to set his week up properly. If his hometime was really that bad. You'll get home fine living in Michigan, it's prime actually.

i ll be at orentation on 28 july i think tmc will work out well for me what kind of weekly wages should i expect

I am not sure about how much you will make from michigan, but (unless it has changed) during the two week orientation you earn $300 per week, during the 5 weeks of training you earn $350 per week, and after that there will be several months where you will make mistakes that will cost you time and since time is money don't expect to earn more than $1,000 before taxes. Anything more than that will be a "bonus." Good luck.
