    Have fun in a old 06 or 07 truck .I was under the impression that they had newer trucks. The percentage pay is what hooked me. I still like the idea of it. But I'm at .40 cpm and it don't fluctuate like TMC percentage paid does. I only hauled two loads last week and ended up with 2,800 paid miles and one 40.00 tarp pay . Running 70mph bets the hell out of 62. It's only been a week but I'm glad TMC gave me the boot. And if I ever see thier physical therapist out in public he is going to get my boot

    I started this thread I have a right to read what people post here. It's not TMC that I hate its the physical therapist that I dis like. 40 guys a week speaks for itself . Tmc has a very very high turnover rate .I went to orientation with 2 other guys here.

    I would take my 07 over a truck with a DPF on it any day. I have put 135K miles on the truck I am in and it has been very reliable, in fact if I had the money and was looking into making a jump into the O/O side I would buy this truck I am in. Yes the 62MPH is getting old but I knew about it when I came here so I cant blame it on anybody. 15 months here and still going strong with no complaints.

    I find that impossible to believe...EVERY truck driver has something to complain about @ some point in time. Surely to goodness you tarped some crap that they dumped in the mud.

    All flatbed is physically demanding. The artritis might be bad for flatbed.
