Do you have a "permission slip" signed by someone in charge, or of authority to sign? Perhaps even a liability waiver? That's the way to roll....
Find a place to park before you go to orientation. Much easier now, than later. (Trust me on this). Closed factories have been nice to me;...
Neither have I. Not in the 2+yrs I spent w/TMC, did I EVER see a female TMC driver, (met a couple of lady-flatbedders from other outfits tho)....
Hope that helps you out. TMC is the first company I've driven for, so I have limited experience, but I can't really say much bad about them. They...
You'll have plenty of headaches, if you let the job get to you (and sometimes even if you don't). You'll have very little money, no matter what...
sweetangel, It may depend on the terminal, and who just happens to be on duty at that terminal, but I never had any luck getting anything...
inbdusfor20yrs, When I first started for them I made these same calculations. I can't, at this time, put my finger on the paper copies, but as...
I've pulled flatbed freight into, & out of, ports. Not only does TWIC save your company $, it has proved to save me MUCH time. Then, like a...
I'm glad you are working for a fair employer. Be grateful. Seriously. Not many people do, and for those that don't... hope you have a union.
and chances are those weather, road , or traffic conditions, will be difficult to drive in for both of us. Therefore, should I encounter your...
Hah! Yeah, that's some funny stuff there! Just TRY pulling that "Hello, my name is..." crap on anyone (other than your dispatcher) at any TMC...
I think most of the fleet is still the 379s, but there are a few of the newer ones around. Yes, the equipment is nice. Probably the best you will...
I'm not sure of the the reason either, but not all drivers have their names on the truck. Some are left blank, and some trucks have names on them...
Yep, no doubt; an APU would be much more useful than the Vorad. TMC (IMO) wastes an extraordinary amount of money on useless items. One...
I got out there once during my first 6 months, well 3 times really, if you count the trips I made out there w/my trainer. I'm on sort of a...
Do they still require 300K safe, ticket-free miles? Do they actually pay their drivers to sleep? (just a rumor I've heard... $10 sleeper berth...
Yep, I just LOVE going to a Love's. They usually have so much more room than a Pilot. I hate the Pilots, but I HAVE to fuel there, so ...
WV, I-64/77, Ex44, go North, to GoMart. Park. Get out of your truck, look for the Cracker Barrel sign, sally forth. Another place in WV, on...
Oh yes, there is also the Pilot in Corbin, Ky. IF you try to park in the "pull-thru" sites... your mirror will be less than 5" from the trucks on...
Pilots on I-81 in VA: Ex150 (can just barely get thru the fuel islands), Ex213 (you must exit fuel islands thru the parking lot, which adds...
