Is TMC going Under???

Wash minimum of every other week now, your fm should be able to calculate tolls by run, if you ask them, % is the best way to go for a rookie starting out.

 

i have 2 yrs ex is % still the best i heard there taking cheap freght thanks for all the quick responses

 

When freight is good % is OK. I was not with TMC, but I was bouncing a lot for loads. Freight rates are down across the boards for most flatbeds. Even mercer loads was down when I was running with them. Mileage might be best now.

Is TMC going to layoff drivers? Approaching Bankrupty?

I spoke to PrePass today and got their explanation on a few things

 

I only worked for TMC for 5 months or so. I quit in April because of two reasons #1 I was averaging only $400 a week bring home. #2 having some personal issues at home which #1 didn't help at all. I thought of coming back and give it another shot, but since I live New Jersey and most of what I ran was in the North East corridor, the no more pre-pass and other issues made me think twice. I was a rookie but was doing well and I liked most aspects of the job. But like others have said, newbies coming in now might not have a hard time,, but I would since I was there when they had those little things that are big things with drivers.

I hope things pick up and they give back what they took away, but usually once its gone they don't give it back. If they did return to like before, I think I might give it another shot

 

I got my truck back from service in Indy with no heat in the sleeper. I'm gonna go ahead and take that as a red flag. things don't look good.

watch that idle time this winter!

this company still has their head so far up their own ### they wouldn't know it if they did file bankruptcy. they'd send us a message about the federal bankruptcy statutes not meeting their standards, thus they refuse to file.

 

LOL I couldn't agree more!

 

If i took my truck in and that happend i would have it fixed... did they say anything too you about it ? i would ahve said something and if they said that YES ther did do it, id call my FM/safety and if they still wont fix it id be like "well here's the keys have fun tryin to give it to someone else....peace!"

in the 5 weeks ive been on the road bymyself ive taken my truck in twice to get fixed...some stupid check engine light...and still not corrected...tehy attempted, but im not gonna sit another 4 hours waitng to get it fixed only to have it come back on 10 miles down the road...oh well my ruck all around i #### an 06 with 505,0000 scratched up paint chipped all to hell, boxes all bent up wont shut...lol i guess i make it sound worse then it is...but its mine and i take care of it best i can.

 

Per FMCSA regs heat HAS TO WORK in the truck, don't have to have AC
but have to have heat..
