At the VERY least, I have to improve my time mgmt. I'm VERY sloppy with time mgmt, but that will only come with experience.
I did get a call from a VP yesterday morning talking to me about my numbers. He asked that I call him back (said "whatever you and your trainer figured out, keep doing it"), but you can't talk and drive per TMC policy, and if my truck isn't rolling, nobody is making money, so I'm not sure I'll be able to talk to him anytime soon, I'm afraid.Coover Thanks this. -
Your first week certainly kicked ###.
Your first snapshot will be here before you know it. Hopefully you do everything right and hit 32% right out of the gate.Farva Thanks this. -

So my official hire date is 1/25, so I'm already a couple of months into my 12-month contractual agreement with TMC. That being said, this time next month it goes from a 4k balances to a 3k balance, and then another 3 months down to 2k, then 1k at 9 months of service.
That being said, I just wrapped up my first-month solo driving and wanted to share some numbers. If there are any others you'd be interested to know, let me know, and I'll try to get them.
Gross Pay: $5666.85 (this does not include any bounce/DH miles or Tarp pay) (If I were to have selected to be paid by CPM instead of %: $4446.80) (My current trend is that I'll will go from 26% of Rev To the Truck to 33% by my first snapshot if that were the case, that would increase my gross too: $7193 for the same month)
So the incentive is strong here to keep doing what I'm doing for that extra ~$1500/month for the same effort
Miles: 11,048
Avg Pay Per Load: $354.18 (@26% pay)
Weekly Truck Revenue Avg: $5082 (this gives me max points towards my snapshot
Current mpgs: 7.07 (this gives me max points towards my snapshot
Current Out of Route: %4.4 (this gives me max points towards my % snapshot)
Having Passport, TWIC , and HM endorsements gives me max endorsement points towards my snapshot
Getting parked at my consignee each Sunday evening by 9pm local has also given me max points towards my snapshot
That is all, for now, I'll be back with another update in a few more months, or as anything helpful to new CDL students arises.Shadalee, Midlife Trucker, SurfBaker and 1 other person Thank this. -

I saw you post your trainer went home every weekend. Did he get home friday or saturday and when was he expected back out?

We always left Sunday at 11am to head to our Monday delivery location. You don't have to leave Sunday, but you won't make good money w/ TMC running that way. -
