    Guess I`ll update my status with TMC. Still here working on my 3rd year. On track for well over $50k (not counting any per diem pay:biggrin_25525:)

    Still can`t complain realy. My gravy account finaly ended:biggrin_25510::biggrin_25510: So I had a choice of TX dedicated:biggrin_25524: or boats. I chose boats and have been doing it for a month now. Enjoying the slow time of year and getting a handle on things while I have a chance. Come Jan 1 it`s gonna be on!!!

    TMC has many special accounts. But you need 2 years or more on some to get on them. No more tarps!!!!! for me :biggrin_25522:

    TMC is no different than most companies out there. Put in some time, prove yourself, and new doors open.

    Boats are fun! Which plant are you out of? I ran a few loads last winter out of the New York Mills factory. I'm on the John Deere account now which has been fun and treating me very well.
    How do you go about not having TMC Figure out your per diem? I've been curious about that and I may end up changing to not having them do mine and just doing it whenever I do my taxes. Just not sure if I have to find a different account since that will actually be able to do transportation workers per diem pay

    Pharr for now. But i`m sure I`ll get to the rest soon.
    just contact human resourses and ask them to take you off it. I still have it, just wasn`t counting it in above post. It`s broken up on pay stub. I`m thinking about dropping it, but figuring out if I`m better off itemizing my deductions or not. Still pondering it and have a little time left before end of year to start next year right.

    Yeah I have been thinking about taking it off and doing an itemized deduction also since I now own a house and have deductions for that so it may make more sense for me to just do away with the per diem even though its easier.

    Almost every weekend. It seems like when you start out they are a little bit harder on you. You have to prove yourself to them and after 6 months of so it gets better.
