Current TMC Workers In the Midwest?

The truth is that it's better than it seems. I worked for TMC for one year. (left for medical reasons and took my old job back) I miss it and them. Shorter hauls pay more on % than cpm. Some longer hauls pay more on cpm than %. My average length of haul was 550 miles. Some times more sometimes less. As far as weekend time, well.... Usually got home late Friday and left Sunday night. The percentage rate depends on your performance. I averaged 29%. It has a lot to do with how you there system. I'm an old hand with 30 + yrs of driving. Not much for learning new ways. If you're just starting out you may do better. Top shelf equipment and the management was easy to deal with. They have there ways and they work. Just give it a chance. I'd go back if I could.

 

Yeah they let you change your pay type at set points per year.

 

Living in Ohio you are in the "steel belt" I would definitely learn flat bed. It will make it much easier to find a local job. I drove for TMC and was home every weekend living on the east coast. You will have no problem getting home in Dayton if you manage your time and start the week correctly. I would also suggest volunteering to stay out some weekends and your gross could get up closer to 2k if you let them know first thing Monday a good FM will put you on the best loads if they don't have to get you home by Friday good luck to you. If you are young and single it's time to work and bank money. Your hobbies will always be there.

 

TMC is a company that each driver earns what he puts into it. Ohio is a great spot for loads and your hometime each weekend is something TMC expects for its drivers. You can make $1200 a week after taxes and go home for the weekend. This is my first job in the industry and I absolutely have no regrets about my decision.

 

I worked for TMC 10 years ago and loved it. Meet you weekly/monthly points and get the % increase.

 

Iowa is the better of the two in my opinion.

 

I'd like to see some pay stubs.
