    Here is the skinny-

    -75% of 100% billed to the customer
    -100% FSC to the contractor
    -No trailer, no problem $150 a week trailer rental (flat or step)
    -Home-time is up to you
    -Main operation area is the midwest, south, southeast, some northeast........pretty much anywhere east of I-35 for the most part but they are licensed for all 48 states plus Canada
    -No tractor age limit as long as it pass level 1 inspection at the time of orientation in Madisonville, KY
    -Pay day is every Friday direct deposit and the pay period is begins and ends on Tuesday (paperwork must be scanned by 4 p.m. to ensure pay on Friday)
    -Dispatch is done via central dispatch but can work with agents throughout the agent network. You will get an additional 10% for locating and securing your own freight prior to dispatch approval.
    -Discount through numerous vendors (parts, trucks, tires, ect)

    Did I miss anything?

    Any one hear anything good / bad or indifferent about these guys . I'm doing allot of due-diligence and thinking about them pretty heavy .

    Heres what I've found out just as TX Sliver did

    75% of 100
    150 week trailer rental ( van ) they also will lease Flats / Steps same price .
    100% FSG ( currently 41 cpm avg )
    75% billed extras ( detention stop offs )
    plate program ( 15-20 weeks payment plan )
    you buy your insurance ( bob - physical dam , occ acc )
    cargo/ liability ( provided and included in the 75/100 rate not a extra )
    logs / paper ( but you can do driver daily logs on computer if you prefer )
    truck inspections ( paid )
    permits ( you pay )
    tolls ( you pay )
    pre pass ( aval )


    AVG gross rates ( not including fuel )

    VANS = north of 2.00 ( avg )
    Flats = north of 2.20 ( avg )
    FSG is roughly ( 41 now )

    loaded rates ( not per running mile ) I got some actual quotes but didn't want to put a carriers rates out here like that .

    this is just based off the numbers I was given , I don't know it to be the gospel
    Other discounts

    tires = Tango Discount
    Pilot = 0.10 off cash price
    loves = 0.03 " "
    TA = ?

    VANS = basically run on a dedicated account they have had for years weight around 10k to 30k loads
    FLATS/ Steps = I think they can go all over

    Any one else that. Can chime in please do

    That' s about it.

    Vans are mostly the one account. You need to be fairly close to one of the DCs, since they do not live load/unload for interplant shipments. The trailer rent is actually a buy in to the trailer pool.

    The flats I know are running into and out of Chicago for rolls or to the oilfields. Steady work. But I live in KY. Another group lives in LA, you would have to ask them what is moving in that area.

    Some people book and run their own loads or their own small fleet. It's always an option.

    You do your thing and they do theirs.

    The more I hear about TMT both on here and independently the more I like .
    They seem to have their stuff together and truly understand Owner Operators
