I have been leased to Tennant for a year now. I'm doing very well here. We haul machinery (Combines, planters, tractors, excavators, payloaders, ect). For company drivers it's newer prostars and newer petes. Pay is pretty good, you'll get treated right. Send me a PM and I'll give ya my number. I'm too new on the forum to PM you.

Hey TruckingCrowe do they require experience i couldn't find how much on their website? I was looking at doing something with machinery after i get my year

Truckingcrowe may still chime in Birdman but might need to just

call and ask. I was told would need to drive van for tennant for 90 days

before going with the flats and then work towards the heavier stuff.

But that was my situation. Dont hear complaining if that helps.

Here are some answers to your questions. I got these in response from a recruiter to my curiosity.

We primarily run Midwest, east and southeast. We have terminals in Colona, IL, Baltimore, MD, Augusta, GA and Wichita, KS. We also have drop yards in Fargo, ND and Grand Island, NE. We have freight that goes to the SE.

.40 loaded and empty. .05 for anything o/d and .15 for anything over 52,000 lbs. We also have a van division that is .32 loaded and empty.

Home time is every 14 days

All of the trucks are equipped with refrigerators. We also have espar units (for the heat in the bunk)

They do not like to use the toll roads. All trucks have ez pass and pre pass.

We require 2 yrs Over the Road flatbed experience. We are currently working on a training program. The van division also requires 2 yrs over the road experience. We are looking into doing a securement training program here in Colona, IL.

We provide the rental car to get to orientation and reimburse for any fuel put into the rental.

Hopes this helps.
