    This is not a bash or rumor attempt. I am a current employee for TMC. I have heard rumors of TMC being acquired by Anderson trucking. I have been scouring with no luck. I do know that today I just watched ALOT of drivers get fired today. They are saying to them its things like OOR, truck revenue, etc. They bring drivers in under false pretenses like drug screens and truck service and then safety calls them in and fires them. I have heard many many rumors as to why and how many. I do not want to start rumors, so the facts are they are firing alot of people and they are screwing them royaly in the process. I am witnessing this first hand at the Indianapolis terminal, and I am very concerned for these people. I am even more concerned there seems to be nothing out there abnout it or why. They are not saying anything to us about it, or its purpose or reason. I know good guys, with exceptional records, getting canned. Can anybody help? Has anyone heard anything? I assure this is really going on, not a rumor. Thanks.

    This is no small thing. Posts of this nature are popping up all over the site.

    Big things are happening at TMC, and they're not for the better. TMC posts treating drivers like dirt are outnumbering Swift, CRE, Werner, Covenant, USX, probably combined. Looks like we have a new driver mill.

    It's been curious how they've been able to keep hiring at the rate they are over the past couple months with all the freezes. It's going to be difficult to recommend them at this point, which I've been doing a lot based on all the old research.

    I don't know of any details to this, but right now co's are struggling to get by. That is the importance of being an asset to a company by keeping a low profile by doing your job well which includes low OOR miles, good fuel mileage and running your truck smart. The ones that tear things up, and have a don't give a flip outlook are the first ones that will get the ax. Most of the time what seems to be the problem isn't the problem. I know several drivers from my co that were cut. Most don't want to think that them costing the co a lot of money had anything to do with it.

    I think you're completely right when it comes to Maverick, but they weren't hiring 5 people out of every CDL graduating class in thier area for the last 5 months. Maverick is dealing with cutbacks about as honorably as possible. In a perfect world they would just layoff people without the nitpicking to deny unemployment, but I can see how they are justified.

    TMC is just straight up cleaning house and replacing veterans with new drivers.

    Well if they are cleaning out experienced guys only to be replacing them with new

    hires that is a big gamble and very short sided approach. Most successful companies

    do things for the long term effects. New drivers both experienced and student usually

    will cost you more in the long run due to accidents, being late and excess fuel

    consumption just to name a few. Sounds like Wal-Mart Economics 101 is in full

    effect at TMC....
