Mr. Harrold Annett, who are you and why should we take your word? He would be TMC driver 000001. He drives a '72 Pete 359 truck number 000001.

Von, does TMC still have that truck? I ask because Heartland has one of our original trailers on the lot here in North Liberty and from what I gather, we have an old White COE down on the O'Fallon yard. Kind of neat to have that history lying around.

I loaded 5 different loads this week in various places and states, along side a tmc truck. the drivers of them seemed happy and doing fine.
nothing that woudl make me expect the company might fold. i figured it was quite ok considering they was running the same freight i was running. i figure if its good enough for them its good enough for me.

As I said, I've been hearing the TMC stuff from TMC drivers and we've got our own drivers telling us the same thing...they are hearing things from TMC drivers. That's why I asked the question on the TMC thread a week or so ago.

If I remember correctly, Von can probably remember this, but TMC has no outstanding public debt. i.e. TMC is 100% solvent! No banks, finance companies, etc. have any hold on TMC!

Point # 1:
Is it only me or does anyone else think it would be strange for TMC to keep getting 2,500 trucks washed EVERY SINGLE WEEK and paying for it if they were about to go bankrupt? THAT fact alone should quell the baseless rumors. Point # 2: SOMETIMES TMC drivers do all in their power to keep new drivers AWAY from TMC as any new driver could be seen as a competitor for freight against existing drivers. Less drivers = More freight choices for existing drivers Flatbed Fred.
