I came to TMC and would not take anything but Texas Dedicated. I have had lots and lots of people asking me about it and I have seen people switch over from linehaul. 1 thing that I have learned is that if you want dedicated then don't take anything but that dedicated from the beginning. FM's hate to lose drivers and will do anyting to keep you from switching. It makes them look bad. I've known alot of drivers that had to threaten to quit to get on board with us. I had a driver even tell me that our division doesn't exist according to everyone that he talked to from recruiter to his linehaul FM. He only got to change over after I sent him to Joplin to talk to our coordinator.

HEy Terry, i have been to TMC website, but that stupid map only gets so big and is terrible when you try to enlarge. So i figured i would shout at Jerrod for the answer, but thanks for the help! Now in the dedicated do they want 6 months with TMC or just driving period?

Yeah, I even saved it to another program and enlarged it. It was so blurred I couldn't tell. Recruiting can give you the boundaries by road name.

My understanding is six months with TMC. Like I said if there is an opening they will make an exception.

Texas Regional
 

How are the Texas regional drivers paid?
What kind of money do you average a week?
How far do you guys run?

Here's a better hiring map for TMC:

Fred, do you have the word description of the boundary?

No sorry but it appears that West of I35, North of I10 East of I95 and South of I90 then moving West: it's South of I96 then South of I94.
My experience has shown that this is SLIGHTLY flexible and if you live NEAR a boundary area, you should definitely call recruiting for confirmation.
For example, if TMC has freight going or coming from someplace near you, you may qualify even if you are slightly outside the boundary.
Same is true that you may NOT qualify if you live slightly inside the boundary if TMC has no freight in your area.
If you don't qualify for Line-Haul, there's always long haul and that is good almost nationwide.

Fred, IMHO, you need to stop pu$$yfooting around and come back to TMC. This is not a hard sell, you know as much and probably more than I do about TMC. At the end of the day, you don't need a girlfriend with you in the truck. I think that is a good way to end a relationship prematurely. She might like it for a while, soon it will get real old. She will pressure you to stop so she can take showers, she'll have to pee every 50 miles. And what's up with ferrets. They are not like dogs, who are real companions. Get all this nonsense out of your head and come back to TMC. We miss you.

Awwww, THANK YOU! :oops: :sad: :oops: I miss TMC TOO!
The good part about my girl is she's just 23 and NOT like other girls. LOL We could all hang out and she'd be "just like one of the boys" with the exception shes prettier and has boobs :lol:
The ferrets are rescue ferrets and I couldn't see me putting them through homelessness again. I would LOVE to come back to TMC but with their rules, I'm afraid I can't.
