    TMC might be a good fit for you since you just got out of the Marines.

    (TMC = Trucking Marine Corps)

    So I have made my decision. After looking at many compainies and I want to be a flatbedder so I narrowed it done to 2 system tansport and tmc. Well system transport said bascially that they were a northwest company and should look into TMC( I didn't even mention there name once while I was talking to the lady) so that's it I'm going with TMC. Haven't heard one bad thing about them yet.



    Thanks everyone for your help for helping me get the best #### career going!

    There will always be a driver pissed off with a company that will post on here so read between the lines. I swear if mother Theresa had a transportation company there would be a driver that accuses her of being an evil discriminating boss.

    There is no perfect place t go. (work)
    All trucking companies have their problems and bs to be delt with.
    Its about what set of problems/bs you can tolerate.
    What you might be okay with could be absolute hell for another driver and visa versa. Although where you live may dictate where and what bs you have to put up with. ( COMPANY HIRING AREAS)
