    I am new to the industry and i wanted to know i any drivers have drove for both TMC and PGT. If so who would you consider to be a better company. Everyone loves those shiny black and chrome trucks but let put that aside hahaha.

    TMC, better training and I've seen one drive off and have the tarp pulled off by a trailer tire.

    My father worked for them but knows nothing about PGT thats why i asked. Yes all the reviews i have read praises TMC for their training, but i also know there is a lot more to a company then just their training. On the same note i also understand flatbed is nothing you want to skimp on training with. how do you like working for Boyd?

    Pgt's training is just as good. Id check them out. Also depending on where ur from youd probably get home more. Ive worked for both currently at pgt. Tmc is a good vompany though.

    Boyd is pretty good, but some of their crap is just... makes me want to run a car over on purpose.

    If I remember right, you thought TMCs percentage program was a good way to make good money. Do you mind me asking what changed your mind?

    With TMC you were home on the weekends, but you are home daily with PGT?
