UMMM name on door????????????

Nice to know a current drivers opinion on the first year pay options, this was something I was trying to figure out a direction on.

 

Don't forget to tell them that if they CAN'T HACK IT........GO HOME!

 

TMC can put "Smith & Wesson" on the side of my door.

 

So the lot lizards know your name when they are bangin on your door.

 

So we can have our handle instead of our name that would be better for me I earned my handle "thumper". I just wish I could have a small pic of him on my door like on my arm. Al wright so maybe I'm corny but that's me. LOL

 

Question.

If a new driver with TMC goes with Percentage, how much would that amount usually come to if it was converted to cpm?

Lets say a new driver chooses the cpm. If new drivers are only making 30cpm starting out, isn't that a low amount to make for all the hard work like tarping and chaining for example? I am not an expert by any means, but aren't there other trucking companies (Reefer, Dry van) that start their new drivers more then 30cpm without the extra work?

 

ha, i've got a question too, for TMC Drivers how often are you overweight? does TMC have Pre-Pass? or do ya just jump around the scales all the time? seeing that steel is quite heavy sometimes i was just wonderin about that????
any help would help. thanks

 

I had my name on the door once, but it was on upside down for a reason, when that swift company truck blew past me in a company truck and was in the hammer lane and blew me off the road upside down , they could see who the driver was that got blown away by swift company truck Everett.

 

They have prepass and it's your responsibilty to make sure you aren't overweight.

 

inbdusfor20yrs,

When I first started for them I made these same calculations. I can't, at this time, put my finger on the paper copies, but as best as I can remember, it seemed like like my % (usually in the 24-28% neighborhood) converted to a cpm value of between .29-.42/mi. It just depended on what the load paid (according to TMC). I went to mileage after around 5 mo. I DO remember that my AVERAGE was up around .34/mile, and this was only during the first few months. My last few months were a bit better.
