Loggin on "Line 3" for TMC

Do you guys haul equipment out, then normal flatbed cargo on the way back to Iowa?

 

Yeah unless we are only a couple hundred miles out on a short run, then sometimes we just deadhead or bounce back. I saw a couple of your guys up there in Dubuque a couple Fridays ago. Had to get a skidsteer.

 

Chances are if you are loading in Dubuque you will see one of my trucks. I think we probably have a truck loading out there most of every day. The window of my office overlooks 151/61. I saw a TMC go by the other day pulling an RGN with a green tractor and a skid steer. Wondered if you might be in town. Obviously not since you said no RGNs yet.

I have been seeing more TMC trucks in Waterloo, Dubuque, and Davenport. Seems like they had moved away from these locations since the recession. I don't think you were there yet, but it seemed like they really pulled things in to survive when things got slow. They must be starting to expand again.

 

I actually did have a step on with a tractor I had just picked up over in waterloo. This was Friday the 28th I was there. I like loading out of there. Fast and simple to secure. I know we pulled a lot out of there last the end of that week and all this past week because Ankeny JD plant was shut down for the week and that is where we get most of our loads out of.

 

That makes sense...

 

I left the Police department after 13 yrs of service. Peace of mind will come but you have to make it through that adjustment period. That has been the biggest issue for me. Good luck friend!

 

hey jeff where are you headed for your monday delivery?

 

Really any TA or petro. They have them usually

 

ok maybe crazy question...i see on the website last night when i was filling out an app and notice rookies starting off at 26%, experience is 27%. Can someone enlighten me on how much the loads are you guys are hauling like monday thru friday...Are you experience the same paying loads each week or its an up and down figure?
