Terrible company. Don’t run their loads. In February I ran a round trip load from Kansas to Utah and till today I haven’t been paid. Their excuse was - another carrier ran the same load. Even one of their guys says he doesn’t understand why accounting isn’t releasing payment. Almost 9k of unpaid invoice

This company is very racist. And the people who do the DOT physical for them are racist too. If you are black please stay away from this company.

Does TMC run all 48 states?

Ashley Gekeler | Oct 25, 2019
Johnny K | Oct 25, 2019

All 48 and some Canada. As Robert previously stated, our freight is limited out west, so we don't run that way much. Our "Cutoff Line" is approximately Denver as far as a main running area. Canada is mostly our boat division, but there is some line haul freight that goes into and comes out of. (Steel and shingles mostly to my knowledge.)

Do yall have a lease purchase program

Jimmy Smithey | Oct 25, 2018
Henry Atkins | Oct 25, 2018

That's funny EK, I'm buying a truck from TMC truck sales and it has around 550k miles on it and its cost is around 60k. Seems like some if the people answering questions have bad attitudes or just aren't happy with life in general, which would explain their weak paychecks and lack of get up and go. Flatbedding is not an easy job in the tru king industry, and you unhappy people should look in the mirror for your problems and stop trying to blame Everyone else for your problems. 6 P's Perseverance, planning prevent piss poor performance

They do with a rider waiver signed. Riders must be over the age of 10 years last I heard. No pets.

They advertise tv and direct tv in the trucks likeit's free, is it free or do drivers pay for it out of pocket?

Krissy * | Oct 24, 2020

Do they train for CDL IN TEXAS

larry tatum | Oct 24, 2020
Kevin Oldaker | Oct 24, 2020

Larry they do not have a terminal in texas. They will get you a car or pay for your gas to travel to des Moines. It is a 3 week course for the CDL plus five weeks otr with a trainer near your home.

Does this company do team driving

Corey martin jr | Oct 24, 2020
Mr S | Oct 24, 2020

Tmc mainly only hires married spouses or siblings for team driver.

How long does the application process take(asking because I've already applied) and will TMC help you obtain your class A permit especially if you already have your CDL B

Caleb Scott | Oct 24, 2020
Matthew Mallory | Oct 24, 2020

Application process is usually fairly quick, however it's currently the holidays, and recruiters may be on vacation. Regardless of previous CDL status I believe the CDL class is two weeks, however I've seen people move into driving phase after one. A recruiter would be better to answer your questions. Give the recruitment phone line a call tomorrow Morning and see what they say. Good luck.

Just got my cdl permit and my application was denied is there anyway I can talk to the hiring committee I dont feel like they gave me a fair chance.

Dbk Rome | Oct 24, 2020
Corduroy G | Oct 24, 2020

Did you talk to a recruiter?? If you don't have a license yet and you go through TMC won't have to pay to get your CDL. Is that what you were trying to do?

How many weeks vacation do you receive after being with tmc for two weeks

james buskirk | Oct 24, 2020
Corduroy G | Oct 24, 2020

You won't get a lot of vacation time as a trucker if you want to make money. I work on a dedicated account in a day cab and I work 14 hours a day. Definitely the wrong profession for someone who is worried about vacation time.I really don't mean to sound negative at all I'm just being honest. And for all I know you could just be curious which is obviously fine I'm just saying, anywhere you work in this industry will be lots of hours and relatively little vacation time.

I have my CDL license, so do I have to start all over in the process training school at TMC like I'm new student. Just to drive a flatbed.

Marquell Simpson | Oct 24, 2020
Corduroy G | Oct 24, 2020

No you don't. If you have 3 months experience or less but HAVE your CDL already, you would go to the inexperienced driver orientation which lasts 2 weeks. After that you'd spend 5 weeks with a trainer driving and getting real hands on experience securing flatbed loads.

j modz | Oct 25, 2019
outlaw livestock trucker | Oct 25, 2019

Best one I can say is cr England and for your tire rub is because they haul specialized over size and if you hit a curb you might damage your load is what they are worried about
