    I've never drove for them, But when i drove for TMC i talked to LOTS of Tandem drivers up in Grayling Mich, at Weyerheuser (spelling is probably off, i get it wrong every time)

    anyway, I don't think i ever talked to a driver that had anything negative to say about them, most really loved it. I talked to a few at various home depot stores early in the morning as well when i was on a home depot dedicated account, all in all i probably talked to around 100 tandem drivers and can't recall any negative remarks whatsoever.

    Give them a shot!

    I looked long and hard at tandem and was asked to come to orientation. I ended up taking this other job, but I was very impressed with them when I researched them. I found no complaints in talking with their drivers. If this gig did not work out I was heading that way.

    I have an issue with ugly trucks, that holds me back alot. It's sad, but true. I'd rather make a little less money and drive a nice truck than make a crapload and drive something that I don't appreciate.

    But that's just me. Other than that, they seem to pay well and keep everyone busy, I considered going there as well, they are also close to home. Who are you driving for now, Notarps?

    Not at the present time. They do have trainers so it would not hurt to put in an AP.
