Out of Appleton I'm guessing youll get some of that shelving crap, bags of pebble rock going to a menards, insulation, or slinkies haha. I love going over there cause I always get some weird loads. My favorites are the slinky loads to Detroit.

Well I'm sitting here art national gypsum in shippingport pa waiting for my trailer to get loaded. My fleet manager sent me a message this morning saying that I grossed 3414 to my truck. I had 2 lumber tarp loads and 2 steel tarps, that puts me at around 977 gross. Not a bad week in my opinion.
My first load for Monday is what I'm loading with is sure in Wisconsin Monday by 3pm. I'm going to do what I can to get there by Sunday night so I can get to sleep there and start of good. -
If you leave at a good time you should have plenty of time to get there. Doesn't seem like you slack much.

Hey Gunner great thread. I'm leaving to orientation for the 29th. I've seen you been having issues with the pay. If you don't mind me asking what were you taking home during training and now (net)? By reading your thread got me a little nervous with struggling with these bills that always keep coming thanks

Was no issues with the pay, its called having a family, mortgage, utilities, all that. Tmc is, so far what they say they are, its truth. It's #### hard work, but its rewarding.

They always say the first six months are the hardest. He's not doing too bad. In the next couple weeks he will pick it up more I'm sure. From what I read he's ahead of what I was when I first started. Freight lanes are everything.

This week was my check from last week, it was a partial week since it was the holiday. So my check was slim compared to what next weeks check is going to be. I grossed around 800 for the week, and took home almost 700. Next weeks check im grossing close to 1000 with incidental pays such as tarp fees. Ill take home around 750. Now with this weeks check, Im still making more than I was in my last job as an IT tech where I grossed around 900 every two weeks. So where I stand, I can only go up. Its been a long hard road to get to just this point. I "was" 2 months behind on my mortgage, until I made my payment this morning. Now Im only 2 weeks behind, and next weeks check will catch us back up. Everything else, is set. So you see there isnt a whole lot that can drag me down.
Gr8camo, Laruuk, Sapper92 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Gunner, thanks for all of the great info. I've been lurking and reading your posts since this thread began. On Thursday I received my pre hire letter from from TMC. Like you I'm using my GI Bill to go to school, my class starts on the 22nd and then I will be off to orientation. Looking forward to the new challenge.
