i seriously doubt that rumor is true. otherwise how could we continue to get these trucks and trailers. we usually get companies that have filed. now then i will climb on my soap box....TMC drivers are known for helping each other, but it seems that the philosophy has taken a crap in the coffee cup lately. don't be afraid to help others. you might learn something new and it very well could get you out of a shipper faster (majestic steel in Ohio for instance). I'm not sure where this new idea came from but it needs to it needs to vanish, quick, fast and in a hurry. now I'm stepping off the soapbox. who's up next?

Just don't form a 2 person militia and attempt to overthrow the current currupt government :? :lol: And no tying down the motorcycles to the trailer either! :lol: BOL sounds like it will go well for you.

Gotta LOVE the RoundTable site. NOT. TONS of absolutely false and useless misnformation. (In MY opinion of course) :wink:

They've had it for years. I was offered a lease-purchase deal after only about six months with TMC back in the Spring of '03. Laid it all for me on paper. I'd still wind up making as much as a lease-slave as a company driver. Not much point to it.

Kind of like some of the BS here? They said on RoundTable that Fred was "semi-famous", we all know he is uber-famous, almost legend status.

I was in DSM over New Years (Woo-Hoo!) and there was no evidence of bankruptcy. That would have been the major rumor mill running, none of that. New recruits arriving. Lights were on. The biggest evidence was that Keith was still his ornery old self in the shop. A sure sign that all is well.

Default TMC Bound

This is my first post here - but I've been reading everything I can on here reguarding TMC for the last month or so. Thanks to Flatbed Fred for his awesome website and to all those who post on here about TMC. Ijust Graduated CDL training here in Butler, PA. TMC has always been my first choice and I feel very fortunate to have been accepted by them. The research I've been able to do has enabled me to make an informed decision that is going to be the starting point of my new career. Again,
Thanks to all here. I report to DSM Jan 15th
