TMC??? What’s the reality?

No. Not even close. Unless you get with one of the better paying gigs. But that door doesn't open easily, especially for a guy with limited experience.

 

Usually, not. Especially in Florida.

 

Low wages in Florida.
Might find some local tanker work that pays halfway decent.
Comcar has some local tanker work. CTL Transportation is one division of Comcar.

 

More drivers competing for available jobs. A driver at my company who lives in Orlando has been wanting to stay local but can't find anything that pays what he makes OTR. Last time I spoke to him he said he was willing to make less but needed $1k gross per week and had trouble finding it. He had like 8 years experience, clean license all the endorsements and was still struggling. I havent seen him in a while so maybe he did find a job eventually.
