Question about % vs. mileage and revenue to truck

cplmac2, I have been following your posts and you seem to know your share about TMC. I have debating about who to go with, TMC or TransAm and it looks more and more to be TMC. Question for you. I am going to try and have my Haz-Mat before leaving for orientation, but is TMC forcing drivers to get Pass-Ports and TWIC cards?

 

Thanks cplmac2, I am at a toss-up between TransAm and TMC. This Monday I am supposed to call for one of them to set an orientation date. The one thing that I am impressed with on TMC is company drivers seem to have pride in their work and equipment. Being from Tenn., would there be alot of NYC runs for me. There has to be a reason why companies pay extra for this run. My guess is because it is a pain in the butt. What is your take on this and what is your thoughts between TMC and TransAm?

 

Thanks again cplmac2. I am guessing being from Tenn., I may not see NYC to often if you haven't even seen it once. They said they would try to find me a trainer near my area where maybe I can get home once or twice during road training. Be nice if this happens, but I won't hold my breath. Be nice if I do get a weekend at least every two weeks. My wife will ride with me after the 90 day solo they require. Need one year and then there are a couple of companies back home that will hire me and get me home more often. Then again, TMC might be a good company to work for, especially if the economy picks up again, I might stay with them. Time will tell. Anyway, thanks for the info and it looks like TMC for me. I will try to stay in touch when I get into training since you have the experience. I might have a few more questions. Good luck on the road and stay safe!

 

Its on a Saturday to Friday week. You have to deliver a load by 2000 hrs on Friday for it to count on the following weeks paycheck.

 

I would say, you only have to send in your empty for it to count, but I might get some of you in trouble.
