What kind of shape is TMC's equiptment in?

And I am telling you that I work for TMC. I posted first hand experience. You posted an "observation" that amounts to hearsay.


If this driver you spoke of is willing to drive his own vehicle and pay for his own gas without asking for an advance or reimbursement then he has no right to complain in my opinion. TMC will NOT require drivers to pay for their own expenses. Any driver in their own truck can get a cash advance at any time if they wish. There are expenses that TMC will reimburse for and a few that they won't.

 

Hey rawlco how bout posting some pics of the inside of your truck so that we noobs can get an idea of what you ride in?

 

I saw the heading for this thread and almost choked. LOL
TMC is one company that I have never heard anyone say that they have bad equipment.
All nice and black and pretty.
For a veriety of reasons I never really thought about going to them. But poor equipment is not one of the reasons. When it comes to babying and fully inspecting, and fixing there equipment, they are one of the best bigger companys.
BTW. Where have all the Internationals coming from I have seen recently LOL.

On the truck recovery thing. That sounds off for any company. Even my cheapskate company pays drivers 100 dollars, all money that it takes to get too the truck, and mileage for the recovery.
If they need to fly you to it they do that too. No questions.

 

If you go to Peterbilt's website you can see an interactive 360 degree view of a peterbilt 379 or only other model.

 

I have an ancient low resolution digital camera that wouldn't show much. Terry's suggestion is the best one though about Peterbilt's website.

 

I have been seeing alot of TMC trucks along I64 heading to and from work in the Chesapeake, Va area dropping off rebar for the highway expansion. They look to be in pretty darn good condition too me. Alway clean and shiny. They really stand out.

I had to use my car once but got reimbursed. TMC takes care of any out of pocket expenses.

 

An admissions person (driveing school/anymouse) told me TMC had one of the lowest driver turn overs. I can only imagine it is because they maintain their equipment. Good equip usually means more miles.
Starting school soon, and looking at TMC. Not real thrilled about flatbeds, was wondering does TMC run dry vans????

 

Sorry, TMC is a flatbed only company. There are a few dedicated accounts with curtainsides or covered wagons, but load securement is still required.

Turnover is lower at TMC partly because TMC is more selective with their hiring practices. The orientation also seems to weed out some of the whiners.
