Any owner operators leased to TMC?

Some of us run that many miles lol sad as it is to say. I was down in your neck of the woods a couple weeks ago.

To the OP'S question 2.00/on 150k isn't his net its his GROSS NET would be after all his expenses. For instance I may gross 10k a week, I'll only net about half of that...after taxes I'm down to about 20% of that 10k. Idk much about TMC anymore since I left flat bedding their company drivers seemed happy but never had the chance to talk to an O/O who was leased to them to see what they had to say.

 

Hey richter, what are their standards for a new truck? I'm technically still on their specialized but am looking into O/O when I'm back there. I'm guessing you have your own trailer as well?

 

Sorry, I mean for your truck to lease on to Tmc. Do they still have the 10 year old rule or what not?

 

are you guys pulling TMC trailers or your own? do you have your own authority or under TMC?

 

I love your posts.

 

I know everyones circumstances are different, but most can avoid paying 30 percent to Uncle Sam being a business owner :smt004

 

To me gross means nothing it is what you keep that counts!!

 

I remember telling you that your little bit you were saving wasn't going to cut it and how I spent $22,000 on my last truck in the first few months of last year...this year I have spent $10,800 and I'm about to need drive tires at the end of summer so there's another $4,400 so ya I'll spend $20,000 this year on my truck if my clutch makes it (was in bad shape when I got it) as of may 31 my cost to be a O/O has been $1.40/mi that's office cell phones load boards maintenance Internet fuel based on 30,000 miles

 

Not sure about that one $24,000 is all you spent all year?

 

truck qualifications for TMC are easy. They say none over 4 years old, but if you show them a clean pretty truck that is mechanically ok, they will let you in. (may need preinspection by them) If your an x tmc driver they will work with you.

I don't have my own trailer simply because i want to spend money on more trucks first. I also live in north east where there are HD and lowes DC's. They require trailer swap. Its not great freight but it does sometimes get me home.
