    Ive committed to TMC out of Des Moines Iowa for my first company. All my research shows they are a great place to start with solid training, and an eye towards Safety

    I ALMOST went TMC but I went with a friend of mine who started a trucking company a year ago. I know a lot of people say start ups are VERY risky but I trust this guy. If not I got exp. to use with another company. Currently I will be making 42cpm with all the standard deadhead pay, clean DOT inspections and log checks, detention pay, etc. I will also receive quarterly and yearly bonuses for safety, fuel, and performance. CONGRATS GUNNER!!!

    Congrats!!
    One piece of advice-
    If you get one of the older Petes for your first truck- keep track of the four wheelers in front of you- especially stopping at intersections
    With that long hood you lose sight of them and you don't want to run no one over

    Good luck, be safe and have fun!!
