Loggin on "Line 3" for TMC

Very possible. Slinky loads are very common with alot of carriers. When I drove through Houston, you wouldnt believe all the slinkys I saw.

 

Hey guy. Thanks for the questions. I'm going to be on the percentage plan, for various reasons. TMC will give you the option to go with either plan. They wont force.anything o n you. Part of your on road training is to fill out a form that compares the two plans. You will see that % is the way to go. At least in my opinion. The 23% is ONLY for the 1st month. After that the sky is the limit. We are getting unloaded now at a shipping dock that requires a TWIC card. As for liking it.....I'm still in the training phase. Im sure it will be a different world when Im solo. I can tell you this, its MORE work than I ever it would be. Im glad I chose flatbed and not dry van. You've got alot more physical activity in flatbed. Life on the rpad is what YOU are.gonna make it. You can "rough it" or you can live good

 

That sounds great. Its neen tough getting backs in. Theres plenty of straight line backs, however the angle backs are few. Mostly blind side angle. At the end of our day, we are usually wore out. In my opinion, it seems we are to unorganized. Not enough planning for the day. Gps is cool, but turn that stupid thing off and lets think things through. It just feels like we' re alwas scrambling. For instance....after you get loaded with 48,000 lbs, go scale the load. While there to scale, take a showee. Do whatever needs doing, then you dont have to worry anymore about a shower OR somewhere to shut xown for your 10. Im not starting anything, Im just saying.

 

Hey guy. I dont know the difference between line haul or otr. Im supposed to be home 46 out of 52 weekends. I have been home every weekend since Ive been with my trainer. Its been very good so far. Just my personality, Im a loner type A.

 

Another day logged, another day on I75. We are running teams now. Ive finished my line 3 for the day. My trainer is gonna bring it the rest of the way to the consignee, in Wisconsin. Dont know where we are headed from there. Ive asked for east coast or north east. We shall see. The weather is nice and alot cooler up here. Everybody be safe. Let the dummies have the left lane.
