Doing research on TMC!!!!

Thanks sewerman, another reason to look at Maverick. I know Maverick is a little more lenient than TMC with their trucks. TMC seems anal about their trucks, can't even put your own cb in it!! I guess I can see that from a company point of view, spend that much money on trucks I would want them to last as long as possible. I am former military so I'm used to structure but I don't know if I want to continue it with a trucking employer.

 

It's funny, I was talking to a TMC driver going down the road getting info and he said that there are a lot of rules in trucking with any company but TMC has 99% of them!! LOL. I was in the military 23 years ago and loved the comeradery between everybody, sticking together. I don't mind working hard or have a somewhat structured employer, but I don't want to have someone breathing down my neck all the time if you know what I mean. Isn't that one of the main points to becoming a truck driver and to see the open road?!?!?! The wife and I have talked about it and she would be ok with me staying out 2 weeks at a time, more if I got hung out and had to. Eventually she is going to be riding with me perrmenently so we can stay out a lot longer then, if we don't have anything happening at home.
Thanks for the info, keep it coming!!!!
