How bad is TMC ?

You would fit in well there. They expect you to be dressed properly, keep your truck clean inside and out. Make your bed in the morning. Shower and shave daily. And wake up at 6 am. Some guys can't handle that, so they make comments like 'it's like being in the Marines'. Funny thing is, those folks think that's an insult when i think it's something to be proud of.

For starter companies they, in my mind are very high on the list. Now I've never worked for them(or any other company for that matter, I've never been a company driver) so i can only form an opinion based on what i see and hear when i bump into their drivers. And from what my eyes see, their guys are a lot more professional than the typical truck driver.

 

Savannah is tanker heaven.
Do you already have a CDL?
A&R Logistics gives 6 mos credit for military driving experience.

 

Plenty of good high paying jobs in Savannah with tanker companies. Trimac Transportation is real good and when you qualify for their Elite Fleet can make over $100K.
Here's some more tanker outfits that will hire you right out of school:
Superior Carriers
A&R Logistics - 6 mos. credit for military driving
Tidewater Transit
McKenzie Tank Lines
SVTN
CTL Transportation
Girton Propane Service
These companies will give you pre-hires just as TMC did.

 

@ethos can fill you in on Trimac Transportation.

 

People hate TMC because we have high standards. If you show up looking dirty, or unkept, you will be told to correct it or go home. Are equipment is nice, you get home weekly, and if you want your hand held, go somewhere else. I love it when people who have never worked for us think they can call us names, because we get their loads because our guys are getting it done.

 

Certain company cultures are not for everyone.

I could not work for a company that wishes to dictate how my bed is made, or which part of the lawn I walk on.

 

With all due respect, don't hold that head too high. Tmc is still a starter company.
Tmc is a good company. But they aren't the top.

 

alot of people hate on tmc because they feed their drivers so much ######## in orientation that alot of you think your #### don't stink. They make you believe that you are the best in the road. I know because I seriously believed it for a long time till I finally got tired of being told in order to make any more money I had to become a trainer.
