    Are you running line haul and if so, are you running 2 weeks to get revenue up...? If you don't mind me asking, how's your experience with them?

    I run line haul, last year I was running in the boat division until September then went back to line haul. I like to get home most weekends so on the most part I'm out only one week. I live in a good running lane so as long as the planners give me good loads I make out well. I can't say anything bad about them, anything they told me they were going to do they have done. I think they are a class act and run good equipment. If you have to be out on the road a pete is a good truck to be in. You need to be your own boss and plan your day to get the job done. If you need someone to hold your hand, your not going to make it. You have to be able to plan and then make new plans once everything goes south. There are a lot of post here for TMC, read them all good or bad it will help you make your decision. Be safe

    Yeah I'm still here and been here since January.... I've been consistent with $3700 - 4000 to the truck, I've had my best week this week with $4400 to the truck... I run very few weekends... Coming out of DFW TX, freight varies, I've had good 2 day $2400 runs coming from nearby, as well as decent $1000+ local 220 to 350 mile loads as well, it's picking up, but I've talked to many that haven't even seen that type of progress..

    When you say 3700 to the truck does that mean your gross pay to you is around 1000?

    Depends on what my snapshot percentage is.. which is at 29% right now. I'd get 29 % of what the truck does for the week. Then add tarp pay, detention, etc
