What's TMC Transportation like?

They are not in any way shape or form owned by Western express... I think you're thinking of that other Iowa Flatbed and Van company SMX.

 

how long ago did you work for them..??

i am going back the the late 1980's to early 1990's when they DID provide drivers cans on polish and rags....

they been in business many decades now.

 

2005-06

 

well there you go..from the time i had applied back in the late 1980's to your time, things changed, and i will always remember how it was...

i was out there for another job at the time (orientation), and TMC had thiers going on as well...so the motel was full of new drivers....the (TMC) recruiter gave everyone in the dining room, what TMC was all about (back then, trying to get ship jumpers from the other company)...when i heard we had to polish the trucks, i said, "no thank you, this other company i am going with, doesn't require that bullcrap"..

 

They had guys in the shop that do explicitly that..

 

just as well, the drivers need not spend every waking minute, washing, then polishing them trucks...

an o/o, is a different matter, of course.

 

No, we wash every 2-3 weeks at a truck wash. TMC is like any other mega flatbed, but with generally better equipment and pay. 1 year in and i clear 1700+ gross and home every Friday afternoon.

PM if you have Qs.

 

There’s a thread on tmc by a guy called blind dog. Look for that thread & u will get lots of info but beware he complains non stop in his comments

 

Ive chatted with 4 tmc drivers. They have all been happy and not complained. Its a 62 mph truck that is to be kept clean. They had nicer equipment, better gear and more pay than me so it cant be that bad.
