Advice on TMC

Go to the DAC report page on the forum page and scroll down the page until you see TMC they have alot of information on their about them both good and bad.

 

I drive for TMC....Its a pretty good company. (And no I dont get paid to say that, or if you join)

Flat bedding is more work, but I make a bit more money. In my fist year I averaged over .45 /mile and made about 62,000. I'm now a trainer and make a bit more. If you work hard you can take home 800-1200/week depending on home time. If you want you can get home every week-end.


As for trucks, they are getting old, but we are getting all new trucks within the next year or 2. They are decently maintained, but my truck has over 900,000 miles on it and is showing its age. All in all, its good pay, one of the best training programs, and pretty decent trucks.

 

Oh yea, we always get green lighted by prepass so that says something about our safety record. We also earned the alcoa preferred safe carrier award.

 

TMC seems pretty squared-away. Not sure about their freight up the in MI, but you are not too far away from the steel area of Northern Indiana (Portage/Gary/E.Chicago) and there is a Gerdau MacSteel just South of Detroit, so it may be an OK area for you.

 

We got a few plants in MI we pick up at. Also OH has tons of freght

 

Yeah, Ohio goes without saying ha! Lots of stuff to load here.
