Im still new in trucking with six months under my belt at TMC. Ive got a pretty good swing of things and feel like im just not making enough money here. Dont get me wrong, TMC has been an awesome company to drive for, for many reasons.. but, ultimately, the money is the point of working.
I live in North Louisiana and am curious what options may be available. Ive reached out to PGT Trucking, but that kinda just seems like a horizontal move, at best (any insights?)
I dont mind the flatbed work (I actually find a ton of pride in it) but I'd also be open to car hauling or tanker. Regional, local, or dedicated.
I'd greatly appreciate any insight or leads that you guys might offer.
Thanks!
Looking for new options

There's no pride in flatbedding.
Just lotsa aggravation.
Tarping in summer heat. Humid heat.
Winds. Rain. And cold and snow.
Ripping tarps . Ice covered winches and straps.Numb, Concorde and Diesel Dave Thank this. -

But some of us are made for it. We get our Cardio in after sitting in the truck for hours. I’m in the SoCal area, no tarping for me, no snow or ice or humidity(rare). Just throw chains or straps and roll.
Lonesome, Banker, Speedy356 and 1 other person Thank this.
