Roehl Flatbed vs TMC

My tarp jobs would probably give them a coronary. I average 9-11 stops a day and don't have time to keep it pretty. Don't even tarp at all unless it is raining or I don't want to be seen with it.

 

Hey USMC first off Semper Fi! Didn't see you mention Maverick but you stated you did lots of research? Take it your not in their hiring area?

 

As a company, Roehl was very good to me for the 2 years I was with them. I didn't run flats, but the company culture was pretty decent and they treated me well.

 

Driver where have you been? You still driving?

 

I would look at Roehl and Melton. If you're married, Melton would be good because of the healthcare benefits. Melton has APU's also which means you have heat, a/c, electrical power, refrigerator power, etc. while you're shut down on breaks. Many states and also companies don't allow idling.

 

TMC doesn't dock your pay for that. If you go through a terminal inspection, they have you correct what they find. Image counts for them. The pay dock is they pay for the truck wash by putting it on your card and you are expected to get the truck washed in a certain period. Don't do it, tmc takes their money back.

Research who one the most freight in your area, easier to get home and get out.

And Roehl is also anal about load securement, routes and designated fuel stops. Most large companies are.

And don't rule out the companies in your area because you are new, research them and talk to them. They just might like your background.

 

i would try Keen if I had his background.
