Get real Rank. You have been hoping for years that TMC will fail. Our freight base is very strong and growing. I run Texas and the surrounding states and I stay as busy as ever. Matter of fact I made $15K this month and was home 3 full weekends and out 1 weekend with a good paying load to Cali.
TMC fail....not happening! Our freight base is too strong.

Huh? You must have me confused with someone else.
Personally TMC doesn't affect me much anyway. I don't own a single flat and I don't think I've ever seen TMC pull a step or a double drop. Drivers are probably too young.

Are you the accountant? How does freight base have anything to do with profit?
Glad to hear you had a good week though. Is that an average month? Are you % or mileage? |

Most of those quarries can be a challenge to get to, especially in bad weather. I always enjoyed hauling rock, even though I was always heavy. It never took long to load or unload and people were always nice on both ends. |

Yes, we have steps and dd. They are mostly used to haul John Deere tractors.
I keep my laptop beside me at all times. I put all of my load, fuel, and expenses into an open office spreadsheet that I designed. I am paid 70% of the gross and 100% off the fsc plus TMC matched DOE fsc rate even if the shipper doesn't pay it. I haul a company trailer that I don't have to pay rental fees for.
I also put my fuel into an app called road trip on my iPhone so that I can keep track of my fuel mileage all year. The past weekend I stayed out on a run to Cali and I am loaded going back into Texas and I've made $6100 this week to the truck in 7 days. It's definately a great week.

I thought TMC was 100% company drivers. Are o/o's a new thing for them?

I bought it from them last Sept. I've had it now for 14 months.
We've had OO's for quite a few years. I'm number 907 and there are many more that arenumbered differrent depending on division.
