Been hearing some rumblings of another well known carrier possibly going under. A caller to one of the trucking radio shows Monday night, informed the host that he was "gonna have to find him a new job". When pressed he said that the company he was working for had announced they were closing the doors at the end of January.
He gave no specifics regarding who he was working for only to say that they were well known and had "alot of shiny black Pete's and were out of Iowa".
For many of you, that probably narrows it down quite a bit. If any of you have any further insight or information, I'm sure there are many people out here that would like to know. Particularly, those that may be considering applying to drive one of those "shiny black Pete's".
It appears that if true, they are going to handle things much more professionally than what occured when Arrow abruptly closed there doors.
Again, any further info would be much appreciated.

Rumors of TMC going under have been around forever! All we can do is hope the rumors are finally true...
Big Duker, broncrider and Coonass Thank this. -
If they "announced" it, why no specific's?
-
If TMC goes, that will be a big blow. But yeah, if they are gonna do it they are doing it the right way. Kudos to TMC for doing it this way. How long they been around anyway?
-
TMC has "been closing" more times than Mark Twain quit smoking!
-
I've gotten the impression that they've told their drivers. If true, I think they are making every effort to do things the right way. TMC always has come off as a class outfit and if this is indeed true, I think they'll exit the same way.
-
If TMC closes today, they will reopen tomorrow under a new corporation and name. You can take that to the bank!
What do you think corporate protection is for? Times like these, thats what it's for. File corporate bankruptcy, forgive the debt burden and start over. Man I love America. No really...This is the beauty of this country. Try to succeed but if you fail you can start over. Done it many times myself.Wiseguywireless Thanks this. -
if it true. who ever this company is. let hope they don't let the drivers hang out to dry like arrow did.

"I can run Salinas-Atlanta in 31 hours solo". "I can drink more beer than anyone". " I get more women that anyone". "I can run 5000 lbs over from Ca. to Jersey and dodge all the scales". "TMC is going under"...... Fact or fiction, only a trucker knows. And believe me people, truckers know EVERYTHING !
Evilcapitalist Thanks this. -
TMC has been around at least since the early 80's. Rumors of them going broke have been around ever since they castrated their trucks back in late 80's, early 90's.
