<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Buzzdog, post: 152670, member: 6652&quot;]drivers wife,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I guess I owe you an apology.&nbsp; It is obvious that your husband must be an incredible driver that has found a way to outperform over 99% of the rest of the drivers at TMC in less then 3 months at the company.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These numbers are from the &quot; Best of the Best &quot; published in Black and Chrome, the AHI/TMC company newsletter.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>December #1 $1359.12 , #50 $835.39</p><p>January&nbsp; &nbsp; #1 $3586.92 , #50 $854.18</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ok to translate these numbers.&nbsp; These numbers are the &quot;average revenue&quot; that are used to determine a drivers certification snapshot.&nbsp; This is used to determine a drivers % along with out of route, fuel milage, and other things.&nbsp;&nbsp; To determine the revenue you take the total revenue that the driver has generated for the truck during a week, then you multiply it by 23%.&nbsp; So it is an easy process to find out what the real revenue had been by dividing the numbers published on the Best of the Best list by 23%.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Doing this would show that on the bottom of the best of the best we had</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>December $3632.13</p><p>January&nbsp; &nbsp; $3713.83</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These are the average that the 50th highest driver generated for the respective months.&nbsp; This is out of a fleet that is now at approximately 3100 trucks with the aquisition of TDT out of Lake City FL.&nbsp; At the cap of 32% a driver would gross from revenue,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>December $1162.28</p><p>January&nbsp; &nbsp; $1188.42</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I doubt that your husband has capped at 32 yet, more then likely he is either still at 27% or maybe a point or 2 higher.&nbsp; I apolgize for not taking you for your word.&nbsp; As you can see that based off of the numbers that I have shown above how I could be suspect of your claims.&nbsp; It is obvious though that your husband has found a way to intergrate within the system of TMC and outperform 99% of all the drivers, including those that have been at the company for several years that are driving on the specialized division hauling dedicated John Deer and Oversized loads.&nbsp; I can see why you and him should be happy with your situation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Unfortuneatly for me, I have seemed to have fallen more in line with what would be considered average revenue in the fleet.&nbsp; I am in the long haul division.&nbsp; I have been in my truck for 8 1/2 weeks now.&nbsp; I have only been home for 3 days, by choice, so I could stay out and make more money.&nbsp; But I guess that is just not a posibility for me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good luck to you and your husband.&nbsp; I truely wish you the best.&nbsp; I just ask you to please consider before you make a post here that you are doing a disservice to readers that have no experience in the industry that are trying to make an informed and educated decision on which company will be best for them.&nbsp; You give an example of earnings of an experienced driver in tour husband.&nbsp; This would not be a practical expectation for a new driver just entering the industry during their first year.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With the above I am dropping the subject with you unless you want to try and discredit what I have shown.&nbsp; I will take you for your word what you said your husband has made.&nbsp; I have shown you why I questioned it based off of numbers that TMC has published.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
