    How pathetic he ran to the media, and they actually RAN the F'n story. How is this newsworthy? The guy chose his hair over a career.

    Been with TMC a little over 2 years. Pay is decent but not the best I've seen. It's a percentage pay based off your performance(income to the truck, mpg, out of route etc. It goes from 26%-34% I've been between 32-33 for most of that time. But the problem is like everyone knows megas cut deals with shippers. They'll take less money for a load sometimes than any sane person would even glance at on a normal load board. But it's the only company I've been with and it's a steady paycheck. All I can compare it to is what other drivers say they are getting and according to them it's decent.

    I like Kentuckians, but I’m not one. Of course, if he shows his mug around these parts, he’ll get no special treatment. I’ll drain the marinara sauce right out of him even if he does have nice hair.
