He would probably say the same about Swift. In fact I have heard that SLT was originally an offshoot of Swift when Swift tried to get a toe hold in arms and ammo freight. TSMT is now the mega of AA&E.

 

That’s pretty innapropriate. I’m only stating the truth and I certainly don’t need to be behind the wheel to understand how the industry works. It’s unfortunate to see that type of behavior when most people here act in a professional manner. I hope you have a nice day and stay safe in your travels.

 

Actually, it was not ever associated with Swift. But you are correct in the fact that TSMT is the clear leader in that space of transportation. And, honestly, I just don’t believe in “bashing” companies here regardless of who they are. I think all people at all levels have the right to either work with a company they like (and applaud them for being extraordinary) or just leave them without feeling compelled to try and drive a nail through them. If you’re the employee who is awesome, it’s simply their loss.

 

I believe in bashing every trucking company that treats their drivers like crap and letting everybody know. That is one of the great strengths of this site. The converse is also true. This is one of the few places where drivers can do research on companies so testimonials from actual drivers are very important. Tsmt is definitely not the worst but there is plenty of room for improvement. You can cheerlead all you want but you have never driven one of their trucks so your input isn’t all that relevant to the vast majority of people who use this site.

 

Hmm, no one got the picture?

 

I was going to say... first why are we dealing with the DOD Clearances to haul munitions etc and why are we trying to do that with very bad trucks. If I was hauling DOD stuff that could wipe out a city, I would buy the newest and bestest retail rig I could find cost be ###### because the revenue will absorb that cost.

When I look back to my original Hazmat and think a single form list of questions was all it took with memorized ABCD answers on each one... then go haul explosives A... ugh. (I did not, justa little something that relatively few truckers got to do because if you looked over truckers hard enough you will have to wash your eyes out with soap.
