Questions about TMC Transportation

Does anyone out there CURRENTLY work for TMC? I've put in an application with them, but I hear mixed reviews. Some people say they love working there, and others despise it. I'd like to hear from current TMC drivers and what they think. I've heard they rip you off on tolls, that you only bring home $400-$500/week. That's a far cry from the $55k-$60k that the recruiter told me. Just looking for input before I make a career alerting decision.

 

You from NY so why don't you look at PGT they are a flatbed company based out of western Pa thats where I am going after the holidays.

 

Thanks. I'll check them out. The reason I chose TMC is because they look like they might take me in despite not ever have going to a formal civilian truck driving school. I was a truck driver in the military and was trained there, but a lot of companies won't recognize that.

 

There attracting the cream of the crop recently.

 

Call them as long as you have proof of driving in the military I think you are good I am a vet as well but no driving I was combat arms. Thanks for your service.

 

Thank you for your service as well. It's funny, I came into the Army as an 88M (truck driver), but yet they reclassed me as 11B (infantry) and deployed me twice, once to Iraq and once to Afghanistan. Anytime i was state side, i drove truck. Anytime I was overseas, I was infantry. Good ol' military. Turns out, I was glad to be infantry overseas, because they said the life span of a truck driver in combat is about 7 seconds due to being a high value target and not really anyway of defending yourself.

 

all i can say is dont do it they are the biggest bullsh--ers out their trust me i have work for them and will never go back even if i have to live in the mission!!!!!!truely!!!!!!!

 

yea since u are a vet you should look up my thread in the Dac reports about when I went to orientation for TMC http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/tmc/126952-tmc-the-beginning-4.html
start on page 3 they treaded me like $### thats why I told you to look up PGT hope this helps. BTW my experience doesn't mean it will happen to you.
