Hey guys. I'm seriously considering starting my trucking career with TMC. What kind of annual salary can I expect running through the week and home on weeknds? 1st year, 2nd year salary? How hard is flatbedding from a tarping and securing standpoint. I understand it's physically demanding. I am 5'8", 160LBS so I just want to make sure I can lift these tarps and what not. Thanks guys.

It is more about knowing where and how to secure a load rather than how physical it is. The biggest obstacle you may have is your height with some of the taller loads, but you will figure out a way to do it. Good luck

Aa TMC you'll get a choice of "piece rate" (mileage) or percentage of the load. You won't get a "salary". Flatbedding isn't that hard if you do it how you're taught. Don't sweat your height, that's what stepladders are for. BOL
