If I actually decide to go into trucking, I have narrowed it down to Boyd and TMC. I would like to hear from drivers who actually have experience with either company about the training programs, pay, home time, and how dispatchers treat the drivers in general. I have looked all over the forums for both companies, but couldn't really find enough info to actually compare the two.

Not sure how you couldn't find enough information to compare the two...when they each have their own active forums. -
After looking at those forums again, I was able to find some of the info I was looking for, but I'm still looking for info about how good Boyd's training program is compared to TMC's. I know TMC is said to have an excellent training program, but I have also heard that they tend to be very anal about little things.

My husband just started as a trainer. He has been with Boyd for 9 months. Boyd is a GREAT company to work for. You go through your new employee training session in the classroom then you go out with a trainer for i think 6-8 weeks (give or take). You go home every other weekend and your trainer goes home every other weekend. They will put you up in a hotel when it's your trainers turn to go home. You make $500 a week training pay during this time.
Puppage Thanks this. -

He has been averaging 2000+. Of course without having a dedicated run, miles can vary a lot weekly. He should gross over $40000 this year and has only been driving less than a year.

His name is Jeffrey Chappa if you need a reference.

My bf is a l/o with Boyd and is very happy with them. They take care of their drivers and listen when they have concerns.
