    Hello i have been contemplating for months now on weather to join tmc. This would be my first trucking company. I just retired from the navy and iam only 38. My wife and kida are driving me up the wall. I cant stay home any longer lol i need a break. I live in ottawa kansas and wondering is there alot of frieght to keep me busy and will it be hard to make it home one weekends out this way. I read forum after forum on everything from who is good to who sux to so and so is getting beat up by the owner just all kinds of craziness. So any help on this would be appreciated. Also is it hard to drive a 13 or 9 speed if u have no experience what so ever.

    No, I don't drive for Keim TS. I'm aware of the company because they also have a terminal in Tennessee, which is my home state.
    My last company was Tankstar running 48 states.
    Got my Shellback on the West Coast.

    There is freight going into Kansas, but not so much coming out, at least for a flatbed.

    As far as I know TMC is ok.
    Kein TS isn't as well known because it's much smaller company, but has those huge sleepers.
