TMC Transportation, Inc. - Des Moines, Ia.

I'm not wrong, on any of it. I am aware it is calculated by the ECM, I don't know why you keep bringing it up as if it changes anything. The ECM calculates your idle time with the formula I gave you. When I swapped my truck out last time the shop reported the wrong numbers. Where is your train leaving the tracks? Basically everything in your post is what I've said. My ECM screen in cab displayed 25%, the ECM download displayed 25%, the number that was sent in was 45%. It was a mix up on their part. Do you understand what I'm saying now?

 

JMO and it could be wrong, but I think this is what he took offense to. It kinda leaves it open ended. Sounds like you're blaming TMC as if they're refiguring things once they get the numbers. I understood what you meant by it, but it did come across as if TMC was just pulling numbers out of the air. HTH

 

Gotcha, I can see where that would read wrong. I do think TMC has the ECM's using a formula they approved of, it's not a big thing to change that program. I wasn't saying they were messing with the numbers, just that the formula is jacked and my last download got screwed up between the shop and wherever the shop sends it. It was straightened out but not before I had to deal with a world class prick of a team leader. I understand now bangn.

 

so bottom line is TMC a good company to start out with or are they just like the rest ,no miles and no pay?

 

As far as I can tell they are just like the rest, but they do have miles at least.

 

thats ######## about the wires showing i'm a former TMC driver that quit because i got tired of big brother ######## but i'll call a lie when i see it, i know in two months they havent gone from making you replace grey painted rim with a pretty brand new matching chrome one to sending a truck out with wires exposed. TMC aggrivated the #### out of me for my own reasons but i was never allowed to leave des moine with anything less then perfect equipment, dont go all bandwagon because you cant handle flatbedding..... whatever complaints he might have had about the company even your trainer would look down on that.

 

What in the hell are you talking about?

 

hell if i know i cant find the post i was replying to, i read a post from someone in training that had some not-so-accurate sounding complaints about TMC equipment... maybe i was reading from the middle of a way long thread thinking it was the end im not too handy with forums dont mind me

 

low gear next time just hit the 'quote' tab like i did for your comment when u want to reply to a comment or post sumone has made; then no matter how old it is we will know what the comment refers too..

 

could you guys tell me what the maintenance intervals are over there at TMC? I'm looking at one of there used trucks but I know some of the places I've worked in the past had 30k mile oil changes
