Slt/tsmt is a great company for teams

We have been driving for SLT for 4 months now and they have kept every promise that they made during recruiting. How refreshing in this industry that you actually get the benefits that they promised. We started off at 1050 per week and are now at 1200 per week each plus mileage bonuses. We drive between two and three thousand miles a week compared with between 5 and 6000 in our previous job and the pay is better! If you are an established team with over one year of experience and can obtain a security clearance and have a good driving record this is the company to go to. I have read some negative information about SLT on the trucker's report and I want to tell you that it is entirely false. The per diem allowance that they talk about is optional so you can take it in your check or get a bigger refund at the end of the year. SLT just bought tsmt but tsmt has better contracts and exclusive permits so the company will soon be rebranded as tsmt and maybe a different name shortly in the future. If you are thinking about changing companies feel free to post questions on here and I will answer them as soon as I am able.

 

We are now owner ops with TSMT. Rates have gone up across the industry though while TSMT pays the same. I don’t think company drivers should go with tri-state before exploring other options. Try Boyle first.

 

1700 is BS. We never came close to that in our year and a half as company drivers. As owner ops we regularly make more than that but our expenses have also increased and we no longer get health insurance. I think the base pay if you have a clearance is 1200 per week and you get mileage bonuses on top of that. When we switched over to owner up we were getting 1200 each per week plus we split $.18 per loaded mile and probably averaged about 3000-3500 miles per week loaded. We probably dead headed About per week which had no bonus.
