My TMC experience.

Dow Chemicals for a load of insulation that weighed a whole 7300 lbs

 

Far as I can tell, in otr, its really what you make of it as far as a day or night job. If you can start your day as early as possible then you'll be done before dark unless it's fall our winter. I'm going to attempt to make my days start at 5am so I can be shut down by 7pm. Course that it's dependant on a whole host of issues that are out of my control. And highly dependant on how far away from the consignee that I am

 

Tonight starts my 5th week of training, and hopefully my final. Our load of insulation is due at the consignee by 11am tomorrow morning, we are leaving by 4am from Columbus. Im told they plan to keep us in the midwest this week and possibly have me dropped off in Des Moines on Friday morning. If need be I will go with that, however I would much rather go home for the weekend seeing how assuming I testout on Monday it could be 2 weeks before I get home. But it is what it is, if need be, ill stay in Des Moines.

 

Well I stayed in the last-night, I didn't want my wife having to get up super early and have to deal with a lack of sleep during her work day. We left Columbus at 4am and got in at Morton Illinois at 11am cst. We unloaded without issue and waited for 15 minutes for a load of concrete products going from Kankakee Illinois to Tampa Florida that's due in on Wednesday afternoon.
