    Can anyone give me some insight into Tandem Transport out of Michigan City Indiana? I am curious about the run of the mill information such as:

    --Op area?
    --home time; every weekend or 3 out of 4 weekends a month?
    --what loads (commodities) do they deal with?
    --does the company listen to the driver or just don't care?
    --how do they get you to orientation; bus, train, car?

    Anything useful would be appreciative.

    I currently work for Tandem. So far, I have had extremely good pay (by the mile loaded and empty), and have been home every weekend and some during the week. The dispatchers are very cooperative. Orientation was four days. They paid for a rental car for me to get there and back and I live in NC. They have rooms to stay in on-site.

    I sure appreciate the comeback terrancraig. What type of commodities do you guys deal with? Much in the way of steel? Are you allowed on toll roads if needed?
