Current TMC driver here on a dedicated lane.

Percentage pay boils down to learning how to play the game, i.e. maximizing your fuel economy, good clock management, having HAZMAT endorsement, TWIC card and passport and a few other things. I've yet to have a check under $1000 after taxes since I got out of training.

If you are planning on running 3/4 weeks out of the month, it's hard to put a number on what you can expect to make, but running for that long can keep you in the areas where high paying freight is consistently up for grabs. Best way to get higher paying freight is to have an empty truck as early as possible in the day.

TMC doesn't operate team trucks with the exception of trainers being cleared to run as a team past a certain point with a trainee.

I got my CDL through TMC in Des Moines, so my driving habits and the like are tailored to the way TMC wants it. For a "starter company", TMC has been pretty good to me so far. I haven't had any regrets or any major complaints about things.

Hazmat gets you points towards increasing your percentage pay, but they don't actually haul a lot of hazmat.

You start at 27%. Goes up to I believe 32%...

Cut probably 20-30 cents off the current rate. Now multiply that number times .27. What did you get? Now figure 2000-2500 times that number per week.
