Lone Star , Tmc , Melton questions.

not the best for new drivers, it can be done but will be more of a challenge here, tarping isn't taught and while we don't tarp often when we do it can be difficult for even veterans. All that aside they give out numbers of people he can call for help and advice on securement as well, best thing to do is meet as many drivers as possible and get their numbers for situations like the above. I'm a company driver.

 

Ok thanks for all info. I will pass it on. Safe travels.

 

Have you le

 

Have you left Melton yet? Is melton bad place to work for starting. Out new to flatbed

 

Concerning lone star, what's home time like and what's the equipment like, (trucks)?

 

Subscribing! Glad I found this thread! Been looking for quite some time on good flatbed companies. Tmc from what I have found slot of people aren't too happy with them besides the the trucks lol. Good company but not as much earning potential and like stated above, they are extremely strict on truck cleanliness.

 

TMC is alright, sort of..... I sure spend a lot of time sitting waiting on a dispatch, been sitting for 3 hrs so far this this morning. Probably wait till later and give me some more cheap shet. Been a lot of that lately. I keep a clean truck by habit so the clean ain't a problem.

 

If you don't mind me asking and feel free to pm me of course but are you able to clear 63k a year at tmc and be home on weekends?

 

I don't see how. I'm a driver, not a sitter. And I set on average 2-3 hrs waiting on dispatch. Today I set for 4 hrs before they decided to send me home empty.

 

I'd love to make 63 and be home on Friday.
