[@demarcuswashington9665]

that guy was being honest. I work for a company doing flatbed work. I'm based out of Houston and I am regional. some times I never leave texas and other times I do. i leave home on a Monday morning and I am back on Friday evening or Saturday morning I gross low to mid 4k to the truck and I get 27% of the load which means I average 1100 to 1200 before taxes and insurance. non forced dispatch and I can work as much or as little as i want. what i have come to realize is that if you want to have a average gross of a 1000 to maybe 1300 as a company driver then do dry, flatbed, or reefer. if you want to make more then you need to pull a specialized freight like cars, hazmat, heavy haul, or animals. the riches are in the niches. also I believe belly dump, end dump do pretty good.

@B I have made more money on percentage than I would have on CPM as a first year driver. Flatbed it helps because we are more likely to run out our 14 hour clock than our 11 hour drive clock. If you are (especially) young, single (or with a wife/fiance/partner willing to travel with you), strong and no kids I would say go TMC. They have been an excellent choice for me. They also do training, so one stop shop.Pay has been excellent if I worked fast and hard, some guys consistently bring home around $1300 a week once they get the pay criteria (miles out of route, MPG etc.) locked in.

Your not gonna make more than that weekly without experience and that seems to be the case with most of the research I’ve conducted.

Local jobs are paying close enough to OTR to make alot of drivers get off the road. Get 6 to 12 months experience and get x endorsement and the money is there. Plus FedEx UPS and LTL companies pay. Someone said that local guys work 14 hr days I'm OTR and I work 14hr days and sleep in my truck plus tarping loads.

[@btsmith]

TMC recruiting require that you go take your CDL written for the permit at your local DMV. Then they take you through your training in Des Moines. The guy is being honest though. But with all the tarping, you have to keep your truck spotless at all times, 24 hours home time just like the driver (although they state weekends off). But yes, $700-$1300 on average gross. Is garbage for flatbed period.

TMC is tough can be hard for a new driver to get hired on they are all business no games., however highly respected in the industry. Probably the best reputation out there. Best load securement training you can get if you pay attention, I recommendyou do your life and others lives will depend on it. Finish a year safe with clean CSA and any flatbed outfit in the nation will sign you on. Great experience to have. Just keep in mind they have top notch and safe equipment and there is a tradeoff for higher priced chromed out trucks higher truck payments leaves less for driver pay. To me for a new driver that would be an acceptable trade off to be safe. Suck it up, do a minimum of at least 1 year and give them the opportunity to offer you a raise. Oh, one more thing KEEP YOUR FINGERS OUT OF THE D RINGS ON THE TARP AND LET THAT GO IF THE WIND PULLS IT. That tarp is a giant sail and can lift you 60-80feet off the ground and drop you like a brick. People die doing flatbed work all the time pay attention and follow the safety rules.

I'm an over-the-road truck driver myself and right now I get paid by percentage but I go out for weeks at a time on my main goal is to go out Monday and be home by Friday and it was still make a decent pay that b******* of going home for 34 recap what the hell are you going to do in 34 hours that's not fair it should be at least two solid days off the trucking industry doesn't cater f****** truck drivers they don't give a s*** about us if you know of a trucking company that really does care about its drivers and give them good home time and give him a good pay and respects what they do let me know

Looks like This Driver gets paid extra points- percentage for that GoaTee 🤔

[@williamkroelinger8660]

Average pay level for first year solo drivers is 29 - 32% pay. 33% is very acheivable. 34% is unheard of unless you are PERFECT on every score chart as well as a tenured driver with many years with TMC. Every year of service is an additional point on yourscore chart. Typical average pay for first year solo driver is $1250 - $1350 GROSS a week. You have options after some time in to get on a local, semi dedicated, dedicated, heavy haul, boats, or specialized(john deere) account. You can become a trainer as well and earn an extra $75/wk plus an additional 10 - 20% in revenue to the truck which means more money to you. Also, keep in mind the benefits provided, as well as the ESOP program and what you can earn in free company stocks as an additional savings/retirement account. Folks need to look at the WHOLE PICTURE, the WHOLE PACKAGE of what is provided and offered before being judgemental of TMC pay and when comparing ALL COMPANIES.

@David W grooming standards to drive a truck? Lmao, you're serious? Half of these driver dont wash their asses regularly. Most of the drivers I see are bearded with tattoos. This isn't the 1900s this is the 2000s. Diversity in ones appearance shouldn't dictate a job. This is a job, this is just a job. This isn't service to a country, this isn't working around dangerous machinery. This is driving. That's it. A man with clean hair , regardless of length, texture or style should never be denied a job. That's ridiculous and something like that is discrimination. Period. A man's hair has shit to do with his ability to put food on the table. Gtfohwtbs. Most men of color with locs are extremely clean and well kept. Western society at its best.
