    Was adam the recuiter who came to your school? If so he is a pretty straight shooter as far as what he says. Tmc is a great company if your prepared to work hard.

    Lots of starter companies pay less for starting out. I made 250 a week when i started with Werner a few years ago. and i was in training for over 2 months

    o okay...when you got your truck it paid off right??

    my current situation i make around $950,1000 every two weeks driving for this huge ##### hole company im at now...My goal is to make that amount or close to it every week...Is this too far fetched starting out??

    how long have you been driving? I think its safe to say you will definately make more than that with TMC. Ive read threads on here saying new TMC drivers weekly settlements can be 800-900 on good weeks. All depends on your account and how much hometime you take i suppose
     
    Linte_Loco Thanks this.

    Heck, I know at least 5,973 trucking companies that pay that well to beginning drivers with no experience. And they are given their own brand new truck that they design and that is replaced with the odometer reaches 20,000 miles, they drive 3 days, 4 hours a day, then are off 6 days - unless they want to be off more - have paid vacations after 3 months, and their own personal driver manager who never sleeps, just waiting for a call...

    Uh huh. Right. :biggrin_255:
