My 1 Year Review of TMC and pay reveal!

[@outsid33]

Met this man today in Des Moines, IA at the TMC headquarters! He helped me a lot through my journey of applying to TMC and getting through some of the tests, answering lots of questions for about what to expect. Was so glad to meet you. Great energy. Thank you WCT - #TMC

[@whitecollartrucker]

Thank you! How are things going on your truck?

[@travislebron]

Any updates?

[@jerryharris395]

When I drove for TMC, my "TRAINER", Les Cassidy, instead of "TRAINING" me, spent a lot of time at pickups talking about me to drivers of other companies. He looked for me to strap/ tarp/bungy the loads even though I was a dry van/ refeefer driver with no flatbed experience except for the orientation training I received in Des Moines, Iowa. I was sick 1 day and couldn't drive on Wednesday, we got home time on Saturday. On Monday when he hadn't shown to pick me up, I called the dispatcher, John and was told I had been fired because Les Cassidy said I act like I just didn't want to drive. I sent John a Qualcomm message stating I was sick on Wednesday, and told Les Cassidy as well. He never liked me being on his truck from the start and it showed at every drop/ pickup we made. I enjoyed the orientation training and the friends I made and the pay. If I'd had a better trainer, I'd have stayed and retired with my own truck to modify.

[@whitecollartrucker]

Dang that sounds miserable! I’m sorry that happened to you! :-/

[@Stuffandfangs]

That sucks, at least at Melton they told us if you have ANY problems with your trainer or vise versa call them and they will give you a different trainer. That’s what I would do, I would report it to the company that he isn’t doing his job by refusing to train you, that’s what they’re paid to do, if they aren’t doing it they are the ones that should be fired.

I loved TMC while at it. But you said you made close to 90k. But that was adding in 11k in referral money. And reason I say this is your social media presence helped you achieve that so not knocking your hustle. A normal evaluation would of been just you reg pay with training pay. So guys won’t ask WHY IS HE MAKING 90k and I am only making 70k. I am not being negative but just be more realistic for some of the new drivers coming in the industry

[@Titan.Fox56]

TBH for me I wouldn't even be griping if I was making 70k 🤣🤣 cause to me that's pretty dam decent, I'm not a trucker "yet" I'm still having a tough time choosing between Maverick and TMC, but I'm a single man with no kids, and barely any bills (the money I saved up from my other jobs I bought a nice camper to live in on land my parents own) and with my permit that I just got I'm undecided on Maverick or TMC. The only thing I'm unsure about is besides Maverick does TMC have WiFi on their trucks aswell? and the only other con about TMC for me is the whole not having an apu to keep you cool during the summer heat but I know there is ways around that with how far inventors have gone to create portable a/c's and what not. When I start training with which ever company I choose I'm expecting to only come home during MAJOR holidays like thanksgiving, Christmas, and maybe New Years, but after that I'm planning on stay OTR for a good years to rack up money, then go from there, I do plan on being my own authority one day, but got to get the baby steps first.

I'm the same way, transitioning from a 20yr career as an industrial Maintenance mechanic/ welder-fabricator-- I'm REALLY on the fence btwn TMC & another company; Really starting to lean more toward TMC, b/c I want flatbed, but eventually once I learn the wropes, I want to get hazmat, heavy-haul & tanker as well, & TMC is more in that "lane" than the other campany.

My question is; Do u get paid during the 3wk cdl training & the 4wk ojt & if so, how much?? Just close ball-park figure is fine, I kno ery1's deductions are different. B/c the other company I'm lookin at, its= 1st 3wks, NO pay & u have to provide your own meals, the 4-5wks with a trainer, is 800/wk before taxes, once in your own truck- GUARANTEED no less than 1,000/wk before taxes(just have to be available & willing to run/ no turned down loads, etc.)-- Like, if your truck breaks down or it's in for service, you'll still get that guarantee cause you're there & ready-willin' to run. But, if u run more you'll get more. I'm FULLY ready & want to stay out months at a time. Oh, and after runnin for a while, if like my wife or daughter, wanted to go on a a week or 2 run with me, does TMC allow that??

I really wanted to get with TMC when i first got my cdl but quickly changed my mind after talking to some of the drivers, in fact i went to orientation with an ex tmc driver that said they don't really make much.

Hi Michael. I wish you the best of luck in surgery. There is heavy lifting involved. We need to lift 120lbs lumber tarps up. They are even heavier when wet or frozen. Also we get on top of very high loads which takes climbing. Take a look at my very first about orientation.

[@Brararaf101]

why tmc dont put bulkheds on the trailers for driver safety

[@whitecollartrucker]

Limits load we can get and we build bulkheads

[@NoOne-py5or]

I heard you arent aloud to idle overnight and they don't have an APU. Is that true?

[@whitecollartrucker]

Yes that is true we don’t have APU. You are allowed to idle the truck, but it is very much frowned upon.

How much is tarp pay

[@whitecollartrucker]

40 for lumber 30 for steel

[@JTmovingweight99]

System transport is around the same too west region of the us. Year one Otr you can make around 80-90k teams get paid 1.00 per mile can make 100k+ each

[@whitecollartrucker]

Nice! I would suck at teams, I wouldn’t be able to sleep with truck moving. I’d be miserable and no fun to be around. :-/

[@richwisdom5657]

Subbed I'm going to apply hopefully they hire me. I'm going to ask for you to be my trainer , do they help get CDL? Or I have to go with it already obtained?

[@whitecollartrucker]

Hello Rich! Much appreciated! Yea you can get your CDL through TMC’s 3 week orientation. It’s only 2 weeks if you already have CDL. Shoot me a text 818-457-1771 and I will answer questions for you.

[@miguelrodz2446]

Do you usually run? Or does being a trainer helped get you to 80k?

[@jcleer1]

Is there some place where I can see a list of terminals? I'm in Michigan

[@whitecollartrucker]

Brownsburg, IN Des Moines, IA Joplin, MO Columbia, SC

[@BA-pz3lo]

hows the sound system for music i. that truck?

[@whitecollartrucker]

System is pretty good. They have a subwoofer that has a bit a bump to them.

[@qmcrae15]

Is it best to get salary or pay by the mile?

[@whitecollartrucker]

It is best to get percentage of the load compare two cents per mile

[@sbokennels1716]

Are you still a trainer for tmc I am currently in my final week and ready to get started with a good trainer

[@whitecollartrucker]

Yes I am still a trainer but I’m in my 2nd week with my current trainee and have a subscriber lined up to my next trainee in a couple weeks. I’m sure you’ll get a good trainer. Good luck and see you on the road.

[@CityBoyQuelz_]

Great advice ! Are you a company driver or owner operator for TMC ?

[@whitecollartrucker]

Thank you! I’m a company driver. :-)

[@franktorres3135]

Do they do team drivers

[@whitecollartrucker]

TMC does not. But if you train than you are partial teams for the first 2 weeks with mandatory 6 hour stop in every 24 hour period and the next two weeks you’re full teams so truck can continuously run.

[@Eastsacbaby9k]

hey man, I got my class a back in October, but had to pause on finding a truck company to get experience with. failed a dot drug test my first month looking for a job in December 2021.on top of that my daughter was born in January and was on life support for two months... im completely clean now and my daughter is home finally.... looking to get hired on.. you have any tips to getting the job with Tmc?

[@TEXASWILDIN]

Question is it 89k net or gross curious if we subtract referrals for someone like me Also heard a rumor that you guys don’t have apu units and can’t sleep with the ac on at night ? Is that true

[@whitecollartrucker]

89K gross. Yes that includes referrals bonuses. So 78K without them. That is correct our trucks do not have AP yes you are able to sleep with the truck running and the air conditioner going if you want to however it is frowned upon and it does hurt your miles per gallon which can affect you negatively for your percentage pay

[@TEXASWILDIN]

@@whitecollartrucker thank you for replying im a tanker driver for Schneider and want to make more so I’m stuck between switching over

Nope. Road only

The face camera only turns on. When you slam on the breaks and it starts recording right away

I was behind a tmc truck a few days ago he was doing 75.

It was more than likely an owner operator. They aren’t governed. You can also tell if they are OO because Owner operators letters on their trucks are gold.

Hey what’s the agility test like

[@whitecollartrucker]

Check out my very first video. It’s about orientation. You have to be able to lift 110-120lbs lumber tarp. Be able to get it on trailer. Be able to jump up on trailer from the side of trailer. Also go up tall ladder to make sure you’re not scared of heights.

[@danielhenkins]

I've seen nobody address the issue of whether or not there are cameras in the cab watching you at all times

There isn’t any at this time that’s why.
