TMC daycabs?

[stanger92]

Where does TMC run day cabs? I was parked next to a pete 379 day cab (I think) on I-74 eastbound in Illinois earlier this afternoon. He was running bobtail and the truck looked brand new like it hadn't even been used yet.

just curious where they are running these

I currently operate a daycab for TMC http://www.goldiesplating.com/flatbe..._dedicated.htm on a Northeast dedicated route. We have them at a lot of our dedicated account customers nationwide where the runs are short enough to be completed in one day thus not requiring a driver to sleep in his truck. those drivers go home every evening.

They run them in Irving, Tx for Owins Corning hauling shingles. Rumor is that they haul shingles in other cities.

Are shingles contagious? :shock: :P

Yes, shingles often reproduce and multiply. Luckily they are only contagious at certain locations. But once in those infection sites they will quickly multiply on every flatbed around. The cure is Hyster shots. 15-16 shots are needed to get rid of the scourge. :P

I saw one of those daycabs at the Pilot in Robinson, TX a few weeks ago. They look killer. As long as they're not governed at 65 I might look into it. But, hell, I love my sleeper! So soft. So comfy. 8)

Since they are only day cabs, would they be called ... "Super Shingles?" Sorry, couldn't resist. Have a great week!

Does anyone know how far away from a dedicated route you can live?

That varies from account to account and depends on how BAD they need a driver in that route. Call the f/m for the dedicated run in question.

Fred I was just wondering if we could live close to the PA border and he still get on at the Solon, OH dedicated since in was under 100 miles or if we actually had to live in Oh. We are planning on moving and not sure exactly where we will end up but I would like to stay in PA.

That decision ultimately rests with TMC. If they have enough drivers closer to fill the positions then they will decline you. If not, then they will take him. He'll need to contact the account manager or fleet manager for that account to find out.

Fred... I just finished orientation 8) 8) 8) I'm heading out with my trainer ( mike vassabinder) tonight or early am Friday., i was wondering when it would be a good time to give you a call?

Thanks Fred. We aren't ready to move yet, waiting until spring. Jeff just got a new fleet manager and I don't think she would know yet anyhow. (She has been working there for 3 mos or so) We will talk to her when it gets closer to spring.
