    the answer to that survey would depend on where you live. a guy in iowa might have to go with tmc as boyd and maverick dont hire that far north. at least they didnt last time i spoke to a recruiter from either of them.

    Well I understand that but I am looking for a total overall answer as to the company itself if you have not worked for any then they don't need to answer and if they have worked for a company other then the ones listed they can put other with the name

    I haven't worked for them personally. But I have a friend that did.... Look at Builders Transportation out of Memphis, TN. They hire students plus train you the correct way on load securement, plus as a perk they pay for TWIC and the Alabama Coil Certification.

    I did work for TMC from May 1994 to Jan 2011. My 1 big complaint, and the reason I left, was they couldn't seem to get me home in SD. Also not a fan of 62 mph Petes. That being said, I usually made pretty good money, never had problems getting paid accurately, and had plenty of good equipment for flatbedding. TMC gets trashed a lot on TTF, but they have pretty good training, and a new guy could do a lot worse in going somewhere else. They have their way, but are not as bad as some people say.
