TMC is ####!

Well I have been a trucker for about 30 years now and have hauled a little of everything I live in Florida and I started off working for TDT Trucking a couple of years ago which I have no complaints about then they sold out to TMC Trucking and since then it has been #### I was paying out of pocket for tolls scales hell even lumber for their loads! They tell you go buy oil for your truck we will reimburse you yea right you have to scan all your bills and they find some reason to reject them I claimed about 2,000 worth of expenses on my taxes that I was supposed to be repaid for I have had it for quite awhile with this company but like I said I had a couple of years in and figured once they got the hang of things everything would change! yea freaking right I got sent to pick up a load of steel I told my dispatch I don't have steel tarps on my trailer cause my trailer is at the shop and theres none of this one so guess what ### hole tells me to get the load anyways so I pick up the load and smoked taped it so I deliver it and they signed and didn't say it was damaged or anything well I get a call from safety saying the steel got wet my reply was no #### I told y'all I didn't have steel tarps he said why did you pick the load up if you didn't have them I asked why they sent the load to me knowing I don't have them. These people are freaking crazy they have probably never stepped foot in a truck much less drove.... I get a call about idling in the winter time why is your idle time so high? well I told you last 4 times I have been to the shop my generator is broke and I am not sitting in the freezing with no heat! why did you take 15 mins off you drive time? Well in Florida you can't sit on the side of the road so I had to park at a truck stop! Your over weight.... No #### I told you before I left where I was being loaded I was over weight but you tell me to drive on cause the load is time sensitive.....guess who paid the weight ticket? ME I would never recommend this company to anyone I drove their truck to their yard dropped it off told them they can have their job I'm not some newbie out of driving school I don't have to deal with their ####.....One of the men at the yard told me buddy you better make sure your truck is clean cause they charge you 300$ if its not.....after I quit I was waiting outside for my daughter to come get me safety man tried to take me to dinner to get me back on hahaha year right!

 

Yea I had no tproblem I went to the next day to another company and got a job I juse feel for the newbies that don't have that luxery and start off with TMC for .28 a mile! Beucase they are willing to hire out of driving school I have posted a couple of replies to newbies looking for adivce don't low ball yourself if a company is hiring at .28 a mile its not worth it get you a local job for a year or so until you get miles under your belt and go get a trucking job with a company that will treat you decent. I hope that my post helped someone if they were on the fence about working for the peices of ####!

safe trucking,
