TMC Transportation, Inc. - Des Moines, Ia.

I do not know how soon is too early, I suspect in your case it is too early. I would wait until I started my CDL school or just before and then apply. In my case I had a Pre-Hire letter in my hand before I started school.

 

Knowing I wanna driver a truck and when I'll be ready to begin or I am starting my training school, or looking to enter a company program... No reason to not send those aps in now. To the company, it shows you're clear interest. To the average driver... It shows you're as foolish as we are!

 

first....with all do respect...i believe the title to this forum is "bad trucking companies" hence...where people can openly discuss issues they have had with a particular company....NOW...on the flip side...there is also forums where you can just as freely praise, worship, suck up to, which ever, company of your choice, even tmc, so if your going to keep griping when people post a negitive post about your beloved company of choice, then please, remember...you are in the negitive postings....Not the postitive...no one is making you stay and post in the wrong forum, let alone read what others have to say about your beloved company. 2nd....i only post WHAT my husband ask me to post because he doesnt get in enough to do it himself, i didnt see a rule when posting on the (once again...NEGITIVE..side of tmc forum that says a spouse can not post, only behind the wheel people only. if thats the case, then all those that sing for tmc should go to forum made for that, not spend all their time in the negative post board. 3rd....and just because you never heard of something, doesnt mean it didnt happen...everyone gets told differant things by differant people, as far as the sign on bonus...he was told by recruiter, trainer and during training, as well as many others, WHO i might add have also complained of being lied to over it to. there was 6 drivers at last count that all complained to the FM, and SHE said herself, she checked, and was told thart tmc stopped giving them. so just because you never heard of it, doesnt mean everyother driver is a liar, thats crapy of you to say so. as far as my post goes, if you had jumped off your tmc bandwagon and actually read it,you would have seen that info, along with request of anyone else who also might have experianced same thing, no one who has asked you to come on here with your mean attitude and call them all liars. this was a forum to post your thoughts, be it good(in the postiive forum side) or bad(in this forum), rather it happens to you or not is beside the point, if someone wants to post something they experianced, good or bad, they can, stay out of the negitive post forum if you dont like what you might read, cuz news flash, not everyone is liars. God Bless everyone, we are done here, this is used to be a nice place to chat, no one said anything bad about another person, even told jokes, got advice, etc, dont see that anymore.

 

TMC web site says "We have new drivers who have earned over $60,000 in their first year of employment!" I'd like to see non falsified log entries and pay check stubs for a moving snapshot of the last year's worth of new hires to see just how realistic this is. I say non falsified because I've always had to make my logs look right to avoid scale tickets and keep moving when my DM (not at TMC) refused to recognize that loads don't get loaded and unloaded on time. I imagine a $60,000 TMC new hire has to put down a lot of tarping time as part of a 10 hour break to make this work. Do 3% of new hires get this? Do the other 97% earn $42,000. I imagine that if TMC had a Werner style ignition logging and camera recorded tarping tracking no driver could make $60,000 their first year.

thats right ...60k yr and run legal?????? in theory it can be done but there's never been a truck that ran on theory...

 

They just left out the part about TMC being the party who actually got the 60k while the driver got about 35... Anyone expecting more than 35 their 1st yr is living in a dreamland.

 

My hubby heard today that TMC filed for bankruptcy, don't know for a fact but that is what he heard.

 

Been rumors of that for 6wks or so now. Does he drive for TMC and did he say who sent that info or by what means(QC, phone, etc.)?

We still have no solid reason to think it has happened, but we've been hearing alot about it lately, as if it happened. I think the word would be out quickly if they did.

 

it may or may not be true...one thing is for absolute certain.the drivers are always the LAST ones to find out.
