    I have noticed a greater camaraderie among flatbedders, than the other divisions. It is rather refreshing to see. I am married into a Driving family, none are flatbed. Their biggest complaint (aside from the regular ones) is how there is no brotherhood, the way it used to be, anymore. But they always see "those #### flatbed drivers yackin it up." I told her dad (retired from Werner) my plans for TMC, he called me crazy, but said it is a good choice, because I will be a part of a fraternity of "just as crazy" drivers. He then threatened my life if I pull a suicide load with his daughter along as a rider!

    Roger that. I just figured it was a good sign that shows this company believes their guys can earn a good living. I figured i'd put that paycheck info up in case theres any new guys looking at the thread.

    Read about how Henry Ford ran his company in the early 1900s. Harrold Annett runs his the same way.

    I didn't find the strictness as much of a problem as the bullying from management.

    I'm all about being bullied. Because when Push comes to shove, I can show my actions better than they can say words. Gotta have thick skin in the world these days.

    I had a cdl for 25 years for my previous job. When I applied for a driving job the recruiter told me because I didn't have any current driving job I was required to take a refresher course. There are several places in your area so you should be fine. Are you going in as an experienced driver?
     
    Matthew Corns Thanks this.
