When I went thru orientation (5+ years ago now) and there were some big ole boys in my class. I think as long as you can pass the physical and...
LoL,, ain't that the truth.
I haven't worked there in years but when I was we were required to wash the truck once a week. No matter what. Even if its snowing as happened to...
Frozen tarps and tarping in the wind, rain or snow is the worst. You also have to fold your tarps well to get them in the headache rack. But I...
TMC has always had a high turnover rate, a lot of the big trucking companies do. I for one wouldn't like a camera on in the truck but as the...
A FM can make or break you. Glad to hear the new one seems decent and better.
I think TMC has the best flat bed training in the biz so you'll learn more I would think with them. Northeast runs tend to be short miles wise....
Good luck to you. Being away from home as a over the road truck driver can be hard especially for someone who is not used to being away from...
How old are you? In decent shape? Tarping loads especially in winter winds while snowing or raining gets old faster. Sweating in the summer heat...
The person with a car is king, its nice to be able to drive anytime anywhere. They usually have ton of menus at the front desk to order out from...
I'd fly out there if you can afford it. I did when I went to orientation. TMC will reimburse you up till the full cost of a bus ticket. You have...
Flatbed freight does slow down in the winter, especially in the North and North East. TMC is decent with home time, but you will spend a few...
Plenty of TMC trucks up and down 95, and even more on 295 and even the NJTP. As JPenn said they are a decent outfit. I only worked there about 6...
When I was with TMC I tried to shower at least 2-3 times a week. Sometimes more depending on how much I sweated or stunk lol. Bring a few things...
I think it would depend on how much a pay cut you could take and if being away from home for a week and sometimes two weeks at a time would be a...
Home time was ok. I was home most weekends but I remember a lot of those weekends home were getting in late Friday or early Saturday and then...
Thats been my experience too. I only worked at TMC for about 6 months and left partly because of being away from home all the time wasn't for me....
Its true they don't hire just anyone. My orientation class was something like 45 people. Less than 20 of us made it through to the end of...
Yeah I'd blame them too. True they do get screwed I bet but to assume everyone is dishonest and going to abandon their trucks or worse is crappy....
Pennsauken thats near my hood. I've been seeing quite a few TMC trucks in the area the past few months, probably passed you even. What shipper in...
