Trimac Regional Drivers

There are no regional Trimac drivers. There are only branch drivers, some who run the system and some local and the Elite drivers. If you're system you can run for as long as you like or out and back.

Every branch is different. So if you want specific information about a branch you would have to find a driver from that specific branch. If a Houston driver comes on here and you are applying for Fairburn then all he will be able to tell you is the location, he won't know specifics unless he has a buddy there. Trimac isn't like most companies, every branch is like there own world. Best case is talk to the terminal manager, they won't lie to you. They have more applicants than jobs available.

 

They call it regional because that is the language you are speaking. Once you get in you will simply be a system driver. Every terminal has their own customers and most runs are based off of those customers. So it's almost dedicated to a degree. Some branches run a lot of hazmat and others hardly ever touch it. Hayward for instance virtually never hauls haz because they pull almost if not altogether exclusively for the Dow plant that makes latex. While Tulsa pulls for Baker which has tons of haz. Houston probably has the most variety but that's Houston which is the chemical capital of the U.S.

I wish I could tell you what a week is like but it's kinda like the military in the fact that a grunt will have a far different experience than a helicopter mechanic. It all depends on where you go. Now, if you choose to run longer then you will go to other terminals and then it becomes kinda like OTR....kinda.

 

It happens. Not too terribly uncommon.
