TMC hometime

Where at in KY, if you don't mind?

Home time really depends chiefly on two things: 1/ how smart/hard-working your fleet manager is, and 2/ how hard you run through the week. But to answer your question, generally you can make it home Friday afternoon or evening depending on how far from home you load up that Friday morning, sometimes Saturday morning for that same reason. During my time with TMC, roughly 85% of the time I spent two nights at the house.

Now as for Sunday...the general gist is to leave out Sunday in enough time to get parked at (or as close as you can to) the consignee. Most guys do this; some don't. But you risk losing out on the chance for better loads that Monday morning if you wait til Monday morning.

 

There a good company just real strict which in a way is a good thing also look at Melton their flatbed out 2 weeks at a time I also live in Ky and have thought about the choices of where to go and are you only looking at flatbed or van also

 

Yeah that's the big thing with this business is the home time look at Melton they pay by the mile plus tarp and stuff trainings like 500 a week then .41 miles also since your open to can call freymiller their a small company that takes new drivers do you have your CDL already or are you getting it

 

No problem is call Melton they do one week of load and securment them 2-3 weeks with trainer but if van call freymiller their a small company but really good to their drivers

 

I concur, for the most part, my FM is able to get me home late day Friday and I leave out Sunday afternoon/evening. This week we got blindsided by a shipper issue that had me detained for 6-7 hours so I could not get home until this morning. That kind of screws your weekend as with a 34 hour reset I cannot get back in the truck until 7pm tomorrow night. My delivery is in Indianapolis so I am probably just going to leave out early Monday morning.
