This channel gives some insight to the over the road flatbed trucking world. Each week I put out content that is not only useful but also, entertaining. As a trainer I have training on how to secure a multitude of loads and D.O.T. regulations and more useful tips and tricks. I enjoy what I do and love teaching how to be successful in the trucking industry. Tune in each week to learn and see new this and as always, welcome to the LG family 🦒
Where's The LG? #TuesdayDump
Tuesday Dump is a how to for trucking. My goal is to give helpful tips and trick for any new driver, or anyone that is already driving. At no point am I trying to change anyone, or say my way is the only way. I hope you find this week's video helpful.

Just finding your page. 📄 I don’t see any new posts of current pay scale 2024/2025. Are you still with them? Thanks.
Thank you for this video and the cpm vs % pay breakdown. Definitely made my choice clear as to what I want to do and if TMC would benefit me and my family.
Why tmc make it so difficult for the drivers by trailer swapping 🤦🏽♂️
Forgot to mention tmc prefers ex jarheads

Hey We have created a very useful tool for truck drivers, I think you and your audience will find it interesting. Are you open to advertising on your channel?
Experience flatbed drivers do they have to go out with a trainer ?
Hey man how’s KAG, thinking about driving for them
Can you do a video on tarping a steel load with Lumber tarps? Love your videos though
My recommendation is throw as many straps as you can, if you take a load like this down a bad road (like 89 in arizona) foam panels will try to bounce around really bad. You need as much pressure on them as you can get without tightening the straps enough to crush them. If you get 4x8 panels you technically only "need " 2 straps but if you put less than 4 on the front and back they're GOING to shift, not might, they WILL.
The best way to set misinformation straight is that just about all trucking companies are never honest about what the load pays gross, to the truck and in any way shape or form if they could skim a couple of bucks from the driver and they will do so. If you get paid by percentage especially when freight rates go down requires you to work the same hard long hours for less money. This would be like having an hourly job where once in a couple of weeks the employer takes a few bucks off an hour For you to do the same work. Mileage pay is always around 10 to 12% less than you actually drive. With today’s technology door-to-door GPS should be a fairway to pay a driver, but they don’t. They use different phrases like practical route, ZIP Code ZIP Code, or HHG. these practices have been common in the trucking industry for the last 70 years. Sometimes it is not a drivers fault if he hast to ride around construction, accident, etc., but it’s hard pressed to get a company to pay extra miles, even though that is time out of your logbook. best way to go is to find a trucking job, and there are many out there that pay by the hour, especially with overtime.
653 miles for a week is low lol for most companies even for starters. My very first day out with a trainer I drove 430 miles 😂. Ended up the week with like 2,200 miles. That guy was running the hell out of me!!! But it’s good experience. Glad he did well
Thank you for the information
Hair length policy
What about it? After orientation you can grow out your hair
What is the length policy
You still training at TMC?
Does TMC show you the actual Ratecon? To base your percentage pay from?
pretty nice explanation!!! I'm about to go there for the orientation and that clarified a lot of things!!! good job breaking it down!!!
your a bone head your base is off a thousand miles & not all loads pay the same your comparing apples to oranges ,, your pay on percentage is high paying loads,, if the load only pays two hundred that 27% is junk,, seems you could do better as an O/O , Does TMC let you look at pay out on the load,, Gross? or Net? when your talking money get your facts straight,,,,,,,,
Im thinking about going there after school in April
26%? Damn I'm new but only get 22%
😂😂😂😂😂
Yo can choose between % and cpm ?
News flash, u still have man bloobs
How much does each tarp weigh?
Steel tarps are about 80lbs. and Lumber about 120lbs.
It's easy when it's nice and dry, but what about when you have to untarp in a wet muddy yard?
I also have locs and I’m afraid I’ll have to cut them
Did he have any issues with his hair during orientation
Why don’t you make videos anymore?
I already have my class A. What does the road test consist of?
Gospel!!
❤
Hilarious 😂
How is it doing now after two years?
So, is it paid training? Some of your verbiage threw me off! js
Lol
This Monday MaY 29th ,i get my new company truck ,I'll be doing OTR.
😂😂👍🏽👍🏽
How do you stay cool in the summer times without the truck idling? I'm like a furnace when I sleep and with the percentage being affected by idle time, I'm trying to think of a way to keep myself cool, but also keep my percentage up.
Is TMC good to work for? I've heard and read alot of bad things but most people don't come to the internet to tell the good they had.
Do TMC have Automatic or Manual?
So far, this is the best video on trip planning.
How do you know what the load pays? Are they that transparent with the information?
Nailed it
Cameras, outside only or inside an out facing?
Outside
Liked your Western Express line, funny story I was on a dedicated account with another carrier and we just lost it to them. I guess they cared more about the cheaper rates than quality.
Can an outside driver apply for a dedicated fleet like boats or do you have to be at TMC a certain amount of time?
Naccchhhooooooo

Are you still a trainer at tmc ? I’m looking at joining. I already have my cdl and they told me since I’ve had it more than 3 months that I would only train in Iowa for 3-5 days .. is that true ?
