Definitely looking at TMC. I appreciate your video, I am leaving industrial maintenance so I need a minimum of 65k my first year out. It will still be a 20 to 25k pay it but In the long-run should pay off. Thanks again and be safe. Maybe see ya out there.

[@KingdomMade101]

Thanks for info. Considering TMC after school but I'm not sure if flatbed will be my thing..

[@rodleithner7931]

I understand I drove for TMC 1997-2007 now I am a IN. state employee and will retire OCT 2022 I would like to go back to TMC however I will be 62 yrs old. I will say this only 10% of drivers are flatbed. The kind of guy who likes flatbed are guys who like physical work farmers,x military like Marines Army Rangers exex. What I will say is if you are a flatbed type the only place to be is TMC!!!

Ive been looking at Prime, but now i'm thinking about TMC

[@radzer0966]

Looking at TMC after school. Was wondering do you know if the newer trucks have APU built in? I’m way south and I don’t see the battery powered ac working for a reset and I agree idling for hours to have air when it’s stupid hot isn’t the smartest thing to do. Would think since it saves fuel and service costs it would be on all even your truck. Happy drivers are what you need if you reset in Florida.

[@TheLoneWolfTrucker]

None of TMC's trucks have APUs

Thank you for the information brother 💪🏾 I’m looking to start with either cypress or TMC and they sound better. I know that new drivers get paid 26% of the load I see on the website 26%=$330.72 so if you do 4 loads a week you multiply $330.72 x 4?

[@TheLoneWolfTrucker]

Unless you plan on going to TMC's CDL school you're going to need your CDL license not just a permit. TMC will route you home every weekend for the most part. I have no idea what your household needs are however you should at least be able to clear a minimum of $65K your 1st year at TMC.

not worth trucking for that money. you can make that with a 9 to 5 job. working for these companies is a waste of time. you need your own authority or forget it. They take advantage of poor people who cant afford their own truck or owner operator status,

Thanks for the feedback. I can relate to your opinion however having your own authority won't guarantee increased revenue compared to a well paid company driver.

@@TheLoneWolfTrucker Wrong. They tell you that to keep you making them money. Look at their headquarters and all the trucks they own. You think they lose money on the drivers? They get $3.00 a mile or more paying .50 cents to the driver is a joke. Plus you have no freedom they want to run you in that truck until youre dead with no, consideration for the drivers personal life. You dont have the money thats the problem and they know it.
