<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Driver&#039;sWife, post: 152008, member: 6085&quot;]My husband works for TMC has told me from day one how other TMC drivers help out when he&#039;s loading/unloading. He also does the same for them. The staff at Des Moines treated my husband well during orientation and has treated him nicely everytime he&#039;s been through there or spoke to anyone via phone or qualcomm. The lunch provided by TMC was fine. He didn&#039;t have any complaints at all, but then again I&#039;m not a great cook so he may have just been happy I hadn&#039;t cooked it! My husband had to drive much more than 135 miles one way to meet his trainer. It was no big deal. They offered to send him by bus but he chose not to because he hates the bus so I dropped him off. Since we refused the bus offer, $.10 a mile was paid for us driving. They don&#039;t have to pay anything since he refused the bus ticket. </p><p>Switching trailers with other drivers is almost always a pain because each driver has to make sure they leave with the proper amount of straps, chains, tarps and so on, not to mention make sure the load is secured properly. But it doesn&#039;t happen often enough to be a big deal for my husband. Part of flatbedding is tarping the load whether you agree that it should be or not. It is part of the job. TMC pays $10 for tarping. Since it is a job requirement they don&#039;t have to pay extra for it all. Sure more money for doing it would be nice though. We don&#039;t have problems with the pay either. My husband brings home $700 - $900+ a week.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I read all the posts on here about how horrible TMC is and their numbers are high and blah blah blah. A lot of the stuff here is opinion. Some like TMC, some don&#039;t. Everyone has a right to their own opinion but it sure seems that there are a lot of people trying to push their opinions down everyone else&#039;s throat...and in no way is that meant for HeadRush who I quoted above...not everyone has to agree with everyone else, what a boring world that would be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
