    When I worked there well over a year ago now. I was mostly North East. Farthest west I went was Ohio and farthest south I went was Kentucky/W.Virgina/Virgina border. And everywhere up north. Most hate driving the DC/NYC/Boston 95 corridor so my FM kept me busy all around there. Although your mileage may vary, literally and figuratively.

    BTW I am from South Jersey just across the bridge from Philly.

    I left because I was only averaging $400 a week take home. Plus I had problems locating parking for truck during the weekends as I had my fuel tanks sucked dry twice. Also had some personal issues with being away from home during the week.

    I should have stuck it out, as I find myself thinking about it now. I only work part time driving class B trucks. Class A is hard to find locally since I don't have enough experience.

    Some make good money there at TMC others not so much, it all depends on if you get a good FM, guess mine wasn't the greatest. Give it a shot, might work better for you. For me the $400 a week wasn't worth the problems it caused being away from home. But as said before with others being a newbie you have to take it in order to get the experience. And you might do better pay wise.

    Still think of trying it again though, either with TMC or another company. I liked flat bed work. Not sure if TMC would take me back though.
