My Tandem experience thus far...

Well I thought I would ask again. Tandem is first on my husband list but some of these post are a year old or so and was wanting an update please. Hubby should be finished with school by the end of this month.

 

how much exp. does Tandem require for drivers. Thanks for info

 

Dose Tandem hire felons???

 

dont really know much about them, but i talked to a driver that had just started with them a couple months ago and he said he was working for .34cpm. Cant imagine hauling flatbed freight for .34cpm....seemed ridicuulously low pay.....just my opinion.

 

When I spoke with Rick from there he said that you must have a year exp w/ at least 6 mo. being flatbed exp.

 

Hey, I'm trying to get on with tandem but the guy in savannah, ga the recruiter seems to kind of take a long time to get your paper work done. Has anybody gone thru this with them before. Its been like 3 wks now an i still haven't got a straight answer from him. But when i talk to the guy he tells me everything is good and he is waiting on the people up in michigan city to finish the paper work. Like i said before this now going on the 3rd week now. Plz let me know if anybody has gone thru this with them before.THANKS

 

same thing happened to me with a company in Tenn. So I called and talk to another recruiter. This guy is given you the run around, it might be best to call headquaters and find out for yourself, explain to them whats going on. It does not take long to hire someone unless they are not hiring, or it could be where you live they may not have the freight to get you home, so the recruiter might be putn you off, hope if someone get the boot he can get you in. I live in Guyton so it has happen to me also been let go because of not able to get me home because of lack of freight in this area.

 

I had no problem. I faxed them my paperwork like they said. Just a couple days later they called and wanted to know when I wanted to come in.

 

I,m a new driver. Started with TMC and couldnt get a paycheck over $700. Some alot lower. Tandem Picked me up and put me in the money right away. The trucks are ok. No major complaints. (no power) Hell TMC has great trucks but I couldnt make any money. Tandems trucks are ok and I am making alot more money. You do the math. I reccomend Tandem highly. JP
