<p>[QUOTE="cricket91550, post: 228879, member: 10175"]<font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="3"><span style="color: orange"><b>As a former driver for TMC.. I can say that you are right. You have to lie on the log book in order to make money with this company. I was a trainer for the company. I spent many nights without sleep and driving way past the legal time. They expected a lot out of their drivers. Not only does that effect the driver it effects their families as well. You may get to go home for your "3 days" though it is not 3 days. You go home that one day and spend hours sleeping to catch up, wake up to be at home maybe a full day, to leave out and reach your destination. At first you can make money with them so that they can lure you in. You then learn that it is not so unless you never want to be home. They have knocked the trucks down to 65 mph.. driving slow like that cuts down on the loads you can make and the miles to drive. All the cuts it takes affects the pay check. Not to mention that you pay for insurance so that if you get hurt you can work.... Well it is okay if a doctor does not put you out of your truck for more than 30 days. They tell you even with a doctors excuse you have 30 days to get into your truck... if not then you're fired, though they don't word it that way!!!!!! Sooo.. you go along to the doctor to get injections.. and get notified that you have no insurance.. go home and call the company to be told you were terminated..... If you may get hurt at all.. WORKMANS COMP, even if you do it at home that day you get in or that weekend... You can do the slightest bit and hurt yourself in many ways that won't effect you that day. You can call once you get released to work, but they will not hire you back. So the year or more you had with the company driving and training goes down the drain. They do not care about the driver's like they claim to.</b></span></font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
