OK, gotcha now, though me for a loop, and thought someone was trying to impersonate me again!
Kinda worn out this week! Ran over 3000 miles this week, and never left Texas! In fact, 90% of those miles was running back and forth between Waco and Houston all week! Glad that deal is over! Went to Riviera this morning! OH, my wife gives me a hard enough time being a spell and grammar check, surely she does not need any help! :-) Quote:

TMC Hiring area
Can anyone clearly explain the hiring area esp in Michigan. It is my understanding that if you live in the orange boundary area you are guaranteed the home time. If you live outside then your not. I am being told that I cant be hired by TMC because I live within a half mile outside the orange boundary line. I don’t understand this at all. The map is so small I cant clearly see where the hiring area is... It also states that Drivers who live inside the area defined by the orange boundary have the option to be home 46 out of 52 weekends per year, guaranteed! Drivers who live outside of this area will enjoy longer lengths of haul, less tarping, more drop and hook freight and will be home at least once every 14 days with one day off for every week out, guaranteed! Well I live outside of the area, this does not mean that I cant be hired by the company, which is what im being told... Does anyone know anyone I can talk to at TMC... I still have the card stating that my application is processed but now they are telling me no... WTF!!!

Though the company is still hiring aggressively, the criteria has tightened and the testing process has been really tightened. In the past they, IMO, were just taking pulses. Too many wing nuts were getting too far in the process and then quitting in their first month in the truck. As it costs $11K to train a TMC driver, I totally understand the new selectivity. Keep in mind that I am an ex TMC driver (2 years in truck) and these are just my opinions. |
A good friend of mine just got in at TMC. We both went through class at CR. England. We were told to sit in Salt Lake City and wait for a truck for a few days. Needless to say we left after 2 weeks of no trucks and not getting paid. I came back to Michigan and started driving a beer truck, he to Wisconsin and went over the road with a friends company. He got in right away and I’m still dickering with this stupid hiring boundary, no one at TMC can give me a clear answer or the same at that... I won’t say names but an associate of TMC told me that quite a few drivers that live outside the hiring area just have P.O. boxes inside the hiring areas. That way it looks peachy when they get in. I see TMC trucks parked all the time by my house over the weekends, so I know they can get me up here its only .7 miles northeast of the hiring line for crying out loud!!! I also want to go Long haul so I really plan on being out over the road for about a month at a time with 4 days off then going back out for a month (4 weeks out and 4 days home). So home time is really not my top priority just the $$$ is, I think I’m going to check with the P.O. Box thing... I just really like this company and have been seeing them on the road for the past 4 years of driving commercial vehicles in Michigan. I want to get in with them and I want to do it A.S.A.P!

Do you think it would be easy to gross $700-$1300 in a week in the long haul division for TMC. Getting paid by the mile? I plan on driving, driving and driving while I’m working for them. When I get in that is…
