Considering tidewater transit out of nc any drivers present and past can help with decision...hometime? Cpm? Weekly miles? Anything will help
I drive for Tidewater, but I'm out of the Decatur, AL terminal. However, I did my chemical training at the Kingsport, TN terminal & dry bulk training at the Cowpens, SC terminal. Good folks all around. As for your questions about pay & hometime, it varies from one terminal to another. I've been out 10-12 days 4 different times during the year & 5 months I've been with Tidewater, had weeks when I've been home 2-4 nights in a week, & weeks in which I've been home every night. I get paid mileage pay, load/unload pay, layover (when it applies); some loads are a flat rate. If I'm being loaded or unloaded & I'm in a plant more than two hours, an hourly rate begins to apply. There's also a safety bonus of $100/month paid quarterly. As I understand it, some terminals pay by percentage. Best way to find out details about a particular terminal would be to speak directly to the terminal manager.
