Yes, they do a lot of broker loads and most everyone is polite. They hire drivers that have not driven recently and put them with a trainer for 2 to 6 weeks at $400/wk. Pay starts at .35/mile, insurance after 60 days, BCBS for single is about $48/wk. Trucks are set at 65mph but a speeding ticket will get you dropped to 60. Most trucks are 10 speeds but new drivers might get a POS auto. Trucks have audible warning for following too close that will kick cruise control off going under an overpass. Orientation is one day paid at $100, no motel. Shop guys do a good job IMO.
I had been off the road for 7 years but with over 1 million accident free. My "trainer" was two years old when I started driving but we got along fine, was a good guy. This was the first truck I've driven in 21 years that would not do the speed limit and combined with push button log book I can say I witnessed some of the most unsafe situations in all my truckin. Hats off to you drivers that do it safe.
Most of the trucks I operated would run left lane strong and gave me as a pro the choice to get away from those that were bunched up , I could slow down or speed up when it was safe.
I don't have anything bad to say about TLD but don't go there thinking cause they're owned by Toyota its auto parts. I hauled JIT automotive for 5 years and was ready to turn n burn but what I saw was a lot of CH Robinson. If I wanted to haul broker Id buy my own truck. Good luck n God Bless B safe.
Anyone have any info on TLD Logistics in Knoxville,Tn
