Problems at TMC........

I think you're probably shook up because you witnessed the closing of an office first-hand. You read about these things all the time and it's meaningless unless you're there.

There's lots of reasons for this and a lot of them are just smart reasons. A trucking company only needs one training center. In this economy this kind of cutback is a no-brainer.

As far as Maverick and stock, well you know more than google does at the moment. I have a feeling that by tomorrow a google search of "maverick stock tmc" is going to come straight back to this thread.

 

the more time passes the harder it is gonna be to get another job

 

TMC and Maverick have close ties, oweners are friends and have been told their is relations there. Des Moines is a better set-up for training, they have their own hotel at terminal. As far as TC lying to you, take it as training for dealing with your fleet manage. lol

 

TMC is a privately owned company, which means they do not have stock. I don't think it's possible for Maverick to buy stock in TMC although it's possible there was a private stake bought.

 

I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

#1 A lot fo companies have closed terminals and training facilities this past year. No biggy. It's called trimming the fat.

#2 Maverick admitted to losing $27 million in 2007. I don't see 2008 as a year they made it back, plus some. So as far as them buying interest in any company...highly doubtful.

 

that would be wise IMO
