    Really great, straightforward summary of your experience. Thank You! I am a little surprised that an Employee Owned Company would keep some of those more irritating practices, particularly those that put drivers' safety at risk. Seems like drivers should have a larger voice in such matters. Anyway thank you again!

They were entirely straight forward and honest with you. Every single packet they give you they read over it and explain it as well. Idk trainers you dealt with but either way you made the move you that felt right and that’s all that matters

    You’re absolutely right about a lot of things, I drove for Tmc for four months and enjoyed my time there apart from the last month. For the first three months I had Nick as a fleet Manager and he was great, if I had any questions concerns problems anything he would be there to help me and it for me took a lot of stress off of doing what I needed to do. For some reason at the beginning of that fourth month they changed me to another fleet Manager. A guy name Scott out of Brownsburg and what made the situation unbearable was as I’m sure you know a lot of times you show up at somewhere to get a load and there’d be five trucks ahead of you and when it was your turn finally the guy would come up to get your paperwork and he would say something “ oh it’s gonna be a bit before we can unload you because we can’t find Joe the forklift operator”. Anyway there was always something at least for me that would make me lose time and I would of course call Scott and let him know I was going to be stuck but I could never get a hold of him. I will show up at the receiver and as soon as I got there Scott would call me and say why are you late at the receiver. And there were other small things of course too but buy and large the way I was treated by Scott really contributed to an ever increasing stress level which finally that last week of April 2021 made me say screw it. I’m not regretful in anyway about my time there and most of all I am happy to have been with my trainer because that and being in situations like we are with Tmc taught me really truly how to drive a truck and that has helped me with what I do now which is work for a beer distributor.

      I've seen this a lot lately with former TMC drivers who leave them they have a certain amount of money taking out from their last pay check and never fully tell why. Which to me is its either they didn't fully clean the truck, owed money, or etc. but never really said the reason and all of them either say its "petty" or "robbing you of your pay check" but from the youtubers I watched that left TMC to go on to something else after being with TMC for awhile they didn't mention any of this so it has to be these guys did something to have that money taken out. A company just doesn't take money out of your paycheck for nothing cause if they did its illegal. Unless you are having your wages garnished.

Glad you mentioned it because Bigger Companies won't say a word about it ... The Milage the load was bid on was always shoter than actual miles taken to get their .. Some times I took a slighly longer route to stay on wide Open Interstates as opposed to going into the Steep Mountains of WV or through Washinton DC.. I drove a 2016 Glider it got it's best mpg at 68 MPH .. a 2020 with Auto got better MPG at 65 60 and better yet at 55 MPH they claim it's hard to beat a Detroit Diesel with An Allison Automatic 12 speed in a 2020 Freightliner.. The MPG claims by Volvo are highter but I don't know if that's at 55 MPH or at 70 MPH
