i just finished in south carolina on friday 12/05 and i am located in nw ohio and they told me i am in a very good lane for them. I see TMC all over the place up here. they offer 46 out of 52 weekends home if you want. Call a recruiter and they can tell you more about the dedicated lanes in that area. If you need any info on your trip just let me know i will try to help the best i can.

Thanks for your input but I think I am taking a job at smaller company called Valley Transportation out of Ashland Ohio, another flatbed company. They start you off at 26% if you do not take the health benefits.

The downside is that if you load near home Friday at noon you are going to have to deliver 500 or 600 miles away on Monday morning, so that means leaving early in the afternoon on Sunday, or possibly even before noon in some cases.

It is a trade off, so take your pick. If you expect to be guaranteed at home every Friday by 5pm I am afraid you are going to be dissappointed, but it is possible some of the time.

Have you ever heard of a company called Valley Transportation? The reason I ask is I am thinking of going there instead of TMC. They get you home every weekend supposedly and pay better than TMC.

they pay is not better if you are exp driver and tmc has all benifits for 27 a week

That is better. Thanks for info.

at tmc you have many incentives that can bring your pay up to over 30%. You should check it out

Are those incentives after one year of exp. I just got my CDL.
