Thanks for the video. I chose this company more so for the training instead of the money. I’ll take whatever knowledge I can and move on when I get a lot of experience.
You forgot to mention one BIG factor about TMC , I went to work there 2 years ago and came with trucking experience but none really in flatbed . I spent 2 weeks out in DesMoines and learned more about load securement than I ever dreamed of but I did like it . When I graduated they gave me a brand new at the time 2019 Pete 579 with auto trans . I mean brand new and I was so happy I couldn’t wait to hit the road but what I found out before long and everyone should know this that all of their trucks do NOT have an apu unit , so if you want air conditioning in the truck at night when your sleeping you have to idle the truck which is not the end of the world but by doing so I started getting phone calls from dispatch saying that I’m idling the truck too much and that I need to get the idle time cut down . So basically TMC wants you to sleep in a hot truck at night in the summer time of which I simply refuse to do and that’s why I left . Other than that the company was really good and the equipment was top of the line but for the life of me I don’t know why they won’t put apu units in their trucks otherwise I would still be driving for them .
They said recently they’re looking for the perfect apu. They’re quite picky on equipment so I can see this. I’ve got two years with them and summer is the worst. Never been fussed at for idle time but I’ve also tried my best to keep it low since it can affect the point system. One thing I did was jerry rigged a cheap cooler into an a/c. Cut two holes in the lid, mounted a small fan on one side and a pvc elbow on the other. Fan blows air into the cooler of ice and out of the pipe onto me in the bunk.
Thanks for the info. I've been on the fence about doing owner/op, or changing companies. TMC was high on my list of companies. I now make TMC pay, and am home every night 90% of the time. New equipment and all benefits. Just burned out on container scene. Going back owner/op route. Thanks, and be safe out there.
My name is Bobby Cooper. I'm slated to start at Tmc. I'm taking his advice for me. It's a beginning company and I'm gonna take the good with the bad. Keep my nose to the grind. Will keep my attitude good and just grind it out day after day, God will take care of the rest.
I really appreciate you making this video and giving us the truth. I’ve been yanking tanks for 7 years and before that I did dump trucks hauling coal and rock along with frac sand in a bulk tank. I’ve had my Cdl since I was 19. I’ve been debating on tmc cause they seem like a great outfit but after watching your video I’m gonna pass on that. Appreciate the video man
Good video. I’m currently waiting for my CDL class to begin. I got in the earliest one I could get and it’s not until the end of January. So in the meantime I’ve been studying trucks, the CDL manual, and trying to find the right companies to apply to. I think TMC just jumped to the top of my list after your video.

@@Truckingwithtookie_tpl it was definitely an experience lol. I just went to a local job but I loved TMC. The training is something else but I would recommend it. Even the job I went to knew about the reputation of TMC and they liked that. I was there for about 9 months and just left. It was a great starter job but I need more $
@@paulbealsr5637 a lot of complaints from our people and I understood it but it was worth it for me. They strict but they have a good reputation. Averaged about 1100-1500.. it was cool but I wanted more
I'm in school right now and today we had TMC recruiter come in and he was talking about the fuel and idling time, saying it is better for you because you get a fuel bonus. If I dont get a good nights sleep and then go drive thats just not right.....I drove tankers before and also flatbeds I hated flatbeds, not because of the work it was always because of the pay. I will go back to tankers great video man thank you!
TMC didn’t except my app. I’ve haven’t been working the last 18 months. I did just graduate trucking school and get my CDL before I applied. I’ve lived in Tallahassee the last 18 months but have lived the rest of my life in Des Moines. Thinking about trying McElroy next.
So glad I was fortunate enough to buy my own truck in late 90’s an been anti mega company since Some ppl like the disciplinary structured living!! me I like to live lol best of luckiness an subscribed an liked. Glad to see another flatbedder you tuber
That awesome, One day I’ll be fortunate enough to own my truck and break free from corporate shackles. Thanks for the comment stay safe out there professional driver
Yeah I hear that tmc pays low for there truckers. Especially they have the most responsibility jobs in the industry. They have a good program, like I hear that Prime Inc does well. But if your putting your job, and body at risks making sure everything is secured in a tight way, tmc should pay there rookies, and vets more. Good video sir, and thank you for keeping America going 👍🏾 🇺🇲!
If you do the sponsored CDL program do you take your test in manual or auto because I don't want restrictions on my CDL if that's what it is because most of their fleet I heard of automatics
Currently in CDL school and I've been dead set on this company because of their reputation in hauling flatbed. They 100% sell the crap out of it when they came to visit for recruiting but, I feel like joining this company is more of an investment in yourself & skills than a quick buck which is why I want to go there.
Thanks for this video man. I’m currently in school. Recruiter came from TMC. Now I know their job is to sell it, but he really did make it sound very appealing. I’m still leaning towards them because I do like the level of pride in demanding the level of cleanliness and care of their equipment, and the training seems very thorough. Now this recruiter told us first year drivers make an average of 74k a year and tip earners over 88k. So to hear how the pay really is, kind of discouraging….but I think I’m still going to apply. I am heavily tattooed (hands,neck, face). Do you know much on their stance with personal appearance? Appreciate you man! Cheers!
TMC is an awesome company, if you stay out you can make ok money with these guys. When I was there they were pretty laid back on tattoos. Stay positive!! Best of luck and stay safe.
@@soflodoug when I first started driving real truckers were family men. The psychopaths grasping steering wheels today belong in prison or lunatic asylums. Most aren’t qualified to push a wheelbarrow across a Flying J truck stop. April 1, 1979. Real men driving real trucks.
Good info! Though having to ride the volume through-out is painful. In editing, you can match volumes and make it even. Stay safe out ther and thanks for the info!
@@oldrookie266 Evolving is a beautiful process, some never experience it. I'll be over at TMC in about a month for training. Just getting out of CDL school, closing out my apartment, selling off most my stuff, and selling my car. OTR full-time. Taking some time to learn more before i get out to 'boot camp'. Be safe out there.
They almost recruited my ass years ago. All ive ever run is flatbed. But found out about the pay and time out on the road, just wouldnt work for me. I wound up driving for a nation wide company that runs certain regions. I run the northeast, indiana line to atlantic and nc line to candian border. Its still flatbed but im home every other night and still run 2500 miles a week. And my low average throughout the year is still 1300 a week gross. And no tarping! Now where i worked before here i drove and loaded and unloaded trucks. Dealt with a lot of tmc drivers, they were, how do you say, some of the most professional and understanding drivers i ever worked with. When i worked in receiving, they were automatically put to the front, because when they came to check in, load was ready to come off. Never once did i have to wait for them to roll up straps or pull tarps, unless it was pouring rain. Which for me was a huge time saver and got them back out the gate quicker than anybody else. They are definitely sticklers for professionalism, they always had their stuff together.
Hey Brother. I'm living in Indiana and was wondering about that company that gets you home nightly. I would love to research them as well. Was willing to sacrifice being gone all week to provide for my family but if I could make about the same and be home nightly that would be optimal
I worked for tmc for a month about 20 years ago my trainer was the pits maybe got one shower a week. Tarping and straping down loads is very hard work. I have worked dry van ever since I quit TMC.
Thank you Sir for the information as well as your honesty, I am actually within the process of narrowing down a trucking company with TMC included. I'm still conducting my research, I've my CDL-B and will be obtaining my CDL-A LP along with a tanker-hazmat endorsement within the near future. Any additional information that you can provide and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Be careful if that’s the only reason for joining. Remember that even if you join as an 88M you still have to do a CDL course now a days it’s not like it use to be prior to February 7 where you could get a memo signed by your commander and take it to the dmv and get your CDL
Thought about going to TMC because they have a terminal in Brownsburg Indiana where i currently work for Amerigas hauling propane in a Class 8 tandem bobtail. Instead i'm going to stay with hazmat and am going to Al Warren Oil and I'll get my Class A through them and their sister company Altom Transport
If TMC paid so well and were so good to their drivers. they would put out an add saying, our middle pay was 130,000 and average home time was 10 days a month. but they dont, i went to their orientation and met 4 truck drivers there. they all were quitting. Always ask about turn over rate. and TMC being 100% tarp no matter the load.
Wait, they are 100%tarp? I have seen tons of TMC drivers channels where they are only tarping for bad weather or if the customer requests it. Am I misunderstanding?
Some true but some not I’m in Des Moine, TA rn as a student but TMC is a employee owned company meaning you see all your money on the back end you own a share of the company off rip. A lot people out my class hasn’t dropped out actually everybody still here and passing all the test the test aren’t hard at all but you required to make a 80 to pass yes they take their cleanses serious all the equipment brand new trucks etc. our teachers are cool af not really strict at all they won’t leave you behind if you behind the class a little overall a good company only thing I can say is they could pay driver more expect to see 1500-1600 weekly and if you work weekends about 2400. Percentage pays will easily rise unless you just can’t drive at all then you’ll get fired obviously. But they are not hard on you at all. And you get paid weekly to go though training and all food is free.
TMC is an awesome company and this post wasn’t publish to discredit these guys. People need to remember THIS IS MY OPINION not YOURS. To the viewers please understand everyone’s personal experience will differ Especially where you live and how long you stay out. Please stay respectful and don’t say “SOME TRUTH BUT SOME NOT” you would be actually calling me a liar titling your first paragraph this way. FYI unless things have changed the food isn’t completely free for people who have experience, yes food WAS free if you received from the ground up training with these guys but of course you would have known that because I clearly said this in my videos. TMC isn’t a hard company to work for nor a hard company to Gain employment with BUT everyone’s experience will differ since we all are different lol. I’m sorry driver but I invite you to post your TMC pay right here on my channel to prove me wrong about this $1500-1600 and working on weekends $2400. The Average driver going home every week or every two weeks will not be turning in these numbers. Thanks for the comment I like hearing the voices of others. Stay safe out there!!
went to tmc... I was hella excited but when I got there man they presented everything great and I thought it was a great company but two weeks I left bro instructors was way to rude if you said anything it could be respectful like look I'm a grown man no need to yell at me they would send you home... I knew what I was getting at face value would be how it would be after training so I left and applied to maverick... wish I would had went there off the muscle but tmc trucks had me in a daze.... we trained 14hours 6am to 8pm most days the food at school was little and not enough then you would get a sandwich at 7pm... its a great company but they got a long way to go far as treating a man with respect but they demand respect... nd stay off the grass at the school and hotel...
Currently do last mile, wanting to get my cdl and do flatbet. Should I get my cdl first (my current employer will pay for it ) or go through TMC? If I already have my cdl will that open up better options than TMC or do I need to gain experience first?
I drove a truck for about 8 years got dui back in 08 .now im a good boy wanting to get back into trucking. Drove flatbed for few months when it first got my cdl.then went to dry van and refer.
What would happen if you fail your tests? I've been looking into the trucking path but can't find anywhere what would happen if you fail. Do you get another chance, or do they just send you home? And what about the cost? Do they cut their losses with you or make you pay since the deal would be you get the training for free if you work for them for a year?
These guys really do all they can to make sure you pass your test even if they have to recycle you. I wouldn’t worry about it and TMC is an awesome company to let help you break out into the flatbed industry.
Is it really regional I live in Chicago and was curious to know where the loads I would be getting and is the home time leave out Sundays home Fridays?
@@oldrookie266 will they give me the option and I been talking to a recruiter she said yes home every weekend but she hasn’t said otr regional or dedicated
I just got my CDLs I’m more than likely going to join TMC. How long is the OTR training? I’m not much of a team driving fan. Everything else I’ll deal with being I’m inexperienced Thanks for the vid.
TMC is an awesome choice! Thanks for watching my channel. Zero experience I think you OJT for one month (sorry it’s been a long time since I’ve worked there) and a few weeks of orientation training. If I’m incorrect hopefully someone chimes in.
I’m considering going to TMC when I finish Trucking School. Im doing my research and I’ve heard good and not so good things, what is the most difficult part while in Iowa? What does their written test consist of? 9:38
Sorry for the delay in responding but really nothing was to hard besides maybe getting up at the ass crack of dawn to catch that bus, game over if you miss it.
I’m turning 70yrs this year would they give a chance? I’m in good shape, no meds or medical problems. I’ve been driving a bout a yr and a half niw and currently driving OTR
Considering going to the Columbia SC School. You state Jumping but do u ou mean climbing up? and down. I have had both knows replaced no jumping for me with plastic knees. Also how heavy is those 8 ft tarps and do you have to manually lift them to the top. I use to have the fork lift guys buss them up for me years ago.
@@stevewildman1045 you jump from the ground up, the 8 footers are 100 pounds and sometimes you do get the pleasures of the Forklift operators to put them on deck for you.
@@stevewildman1045I don’t believe you would be jumping from the ground to the trailer like a high jumper. I’d imagine it’d be like getting into the tailgate of a high pickup truck. Hands on trailer and getting your but up there kinda thing
I did inquire on this but they didn’t offer it me for whatever reason, they did try getting me to purchase a truck in Ankeny but I didn’t have enough money for the down payment so I passed.
Good info. I don't need a thank you. I do this job for my family and me. It's nice to have a job that keeps the economy going and give people jobs. But I don't want or need a thank you. People wanna thank us? Ok, how about not cutting us off, learn what yield means, don't speed up and try to block us when we need to get over on the interstate. Etc...
I thank all professional drivers, implying team work and understanding the frustrations. It’s not easy being a professional driver. The responsibilities are Huge, The lives of others depend on you being successful in all inclement situations. From an economic standpoint truck drivers can make or break the situation, people depend on you whether you like it or not. YES, stop cutting drivers off please. Thanks for the response, stay safe out there. Happy holidays
@@oldrookie266 no problem, thanks for your info. Merry Christmas, happy new yr etc ..yeah it's definitely a huge responsibility out there.. stay safe too. You have to drive for everyone bc most people are all about me on the road and in every aspect of society. People just don't care about anything but themselves overall.
so What would you say pay range is for working one week and coming home on the weekend , trying to see if maybe sacrificing a weekend or two so that i can actually see the good money
I'm stuck between TMC and Roehl transport, I'm hard hearing and I already get my learner permit so do you have any good advice for my first time to get training necessary for CDL out of those two companies?
I’m currently looking at options I was leaning towards tmc but I may shoot maverick a message I just received my cdl , and being away not clearing at least 1000 consistent with all the work that includes flatbed load isn’t it for me lol
@@oldrookie266 I agree! I just don’t know where to start 😂 I see a lot out here but don’t want to choice wrong , I just graduated trucking school yesterday
Maverick is a good one too but they are like a prison almost outside the classroom and even then its very structured and forced. 1 slip up and theyll send you home, and you better be fit too lol. But other then that theyre a great comapny too
Who do you think makes the better money for the lesser loads TMC or Maverick It just seems Like Maverick doesn't do as many loads as TMC and get paid a hell of a lot more. Any truth to this? I don't know personally myself it just seems that way. When I hear TMC drivers and Maverick drivers talk about loads and pays and miles
Good question, I personally never worked for Maverick but I do know people who have work there. TMC line haul does pull more loads per week, both sides of the aisle makes about the same amount of money. Both companies are really good to work for gaining that flat bedding experience.
Recruiter wants me to Des Moines. The temperature is -17 there. I'm from Texas and not use to those conditions. Do they train indoors except for driving?
Trailers are supposed to up to maintenance the same as the truck. So why does TMC not take care of this maintenance issue? TMC called me for a job and I'm a new CDL holder, I'm a woman and I most definitely don't mind hard work but if my trailer is going to have issues then that's a big no, no . 🤦 My goal is to get into heavy hauling because I'm also certified in heavy equipment operations. Having a bad trailer can also cause issues with DOT and im most definitely NOT having that especially since its the companies responsible as a company driver.
TMC is notorious for trailer swapping out in the field as you probably already know, TMC should be held accountable at some level for discrepancies amongst trailers out in the field but our brothers and sisters drivers are absolutely notorious looking the other way, when a problem arises
Does the physical agility test include hauling the 8' tarps? And do you feel their training program got you a leg up on other flat bedders because of the intensive training?
Well I have watched these guys strap shingles and they go way to far with securement .These guys have to climb on the trailer and move shingles into different positions. My opinion unless u have to don't climb on product .These pallets are put on secure enough no need to go through that crap throw your straps and leave them the way they lay I have never moved the shingles in 2 and a half years and they have never moved or have I lost a single bundle and for anyone arguing that it keeps the shingles from getting smashed in the middle well i got news for you I have never paid for a single bundle and no one has ever said anything or refused the load . We are not Hauling death coils here folks and definitely not hog tieing lol Sorry but Tmc is a start your career company they already know the turn over rate and their plan is based on it . Tarps are hard work and if I'm tarping twice a day I'm moving on good to Tmc and drivers but tmc take care if your drivers better . We are looking to make u money so let your drivers run the a/c that's ridiculous. And give them time to shower I have seen your employees work and they are some of the hardest workers in the business other than operater owners .It's not always about money .
Im retiring from the military this summer and considering TMC. We are moving back to the east from Washington state. I just finished CDL school with troops into transportation, will be doing the Washington state CDL test to get my license. What advice do you have for me? Thanks.
It sounds like everything your doing is right on track, TMC is an Excellent option. You’ll do great their, thanks for your service!! Shoot me a message if you need anything.
Hi there Old rookie! How are you? I have a question for you about TMC? I've been driving Van/Refer/Tanker for the last 5 years or so. I wanted to get on with ATS, but after a 600 mile drive to orientation the instructor failed me, and wouldn't allow me to move on. So now I'm looking for somewhere to learn flatbed. Can you tell me about what will happen in Orientation? What are the tests like? Agility test remind me of what Prime did. I should mention Im 42 right now.
Hi Ben, hopefully your having a great Sunday. TMC orientation isn’t complicated, lots of class time and test. Physical agility was a breeze, if your active I wouldn’t worry. With your current experience O.J. T shouldn’t be more than two weeks with an instructor, there is a driving test and from what I remember you either get an automatic or a manual depending on what it says on your drivers license. Sorry to hear about your experience with ATS, TMC Is a great choice. Good luck!!
Great video! So i have a couple questions. Do they really get you home on weekends ? Also can you make the 800 to 1100 a week while getting home on weekends ? Thank you very much for this video ima new subscriber im going to be checking out the rest of your stuff!
I am a driver with CDL-A but no experience driving Semis. I got my cdl on my own and have only driven class A bucket and dump trucks. Was looking at TMC to start my career. Is there any other companies you would recommend?
I am an Air Force vet with a stickler for attention to detail and I feel like TMC is a great first stone (I start CDL-A Training 5th of July 2022). I wasn't interested in flat bed at first, I was looking at getting into tanker and hazmat (I moved 6000 gals of jet fuel between aircraft and have felt as well as understand the movement of liquid) but after consideration I feel flatbed offers diversity and I am getting a little excited about the idea. What advice would you give to someone about to start a new journey with knowledge of how loads shift and a background in trucing? I know some carriers take advantage but yet there are opportunities for non idiots... I am a non idiot, grew up around trucks... I don't believe I fall into the 4 wheeler looking for an easy check. I fall into the guuy who can shift a manual car without a clutch (done it many times). I am not the 21st century rookie
TMC is a great company to work for fresh out of school, you will learn valuable information with these guys you’ll need to create that foundation for future goals.
I should be done with tech school and come out with my cdl if everything goes well in a couple of weeks. I am scheduled to go to orientation at TMC the next week. Kind of got me worried so many folks washed out in your class. Is there a better choice you know of for someone coming out of Ga? I hope to be in my own truck in a couple of years but for now I just want to get my feet wet and learn the ropes. Thanks for the videos and info.
Dude, the training is so easy... lots of classroom time and some very basic tests. then very basic physical tests, lifting the tarp... then the driving test (probably in Columbia for you) super easy, I think one turn downtown Columbia is super tight turn but doable... Stick with it, if I can do it with no CDL experience in my entire family history totally new to this, you can also do it.
Good video. I was there with Harald the original Marine who started it in the 70's!
Awesome video. Great insight for someone looking to get in and TMC being one of my choices. Thanks
Thank you Old Rookie very good video I do believe you saved me alot of time and frustration! HAGO

How was it???
Yeah, how was it?

Same here, training here i come
Thanks for making this video. I’ve been thinking about calling TMC. I had my CDL-A in the past and drove hotshots and reefers but never flatbed semi.
You forgot to mention one BIG factor about TMC , I went to work there 2 years ago and came with trucking experience but none really in flatbed .
I spent 2 weeks out in DesMoines and learned more about load securement than I ever dreamed of but I did like it .
When I graduated they gave me a brand new at the time 2019 Pete 579 with auto trans .
I mean brand new and I was so happy I couldn’t wait to hit the road but what I found out before long and everyone should know this that all of their trucks do NOT have an apu unit , so if you want air conditioning in the truck at night when your sleeping you have to idle the truck which is not the end of the world but by doing so I started getting phone calls from dispatch saying that I’m idling the truck too much and that I need to get the idle time cut down .
So basically TMC wants you to sleep in a hot truck at night in the summer time of which I simply refuse to do and that’s why I left .
Other than that the company was really good and the equipment was top of the line but for the life of me I don’t know why they won’t put apu units in their trucks otherwise I would still be driving for them .
yup you need that APU
They said recently they’re looking for the perfect apu. They’re quite picky on equipment so I can see this. I’ve got two years with them and summer is the worst. Never been fussed at for idle time but I’ve also tried my best to keep it low since it can affect the point system. One thing I did was jerry rigged a cheap cooler into an a/c. Cut two holes in the lid, mounted a small fan on one side and a pvc elbow on the other. Fan blows air into the cooler of ice and out of the pipe onto me in the bunk.
What about the freezing cold Temps? Like negative temps? How stay warm without an apu

Awesome comment bud, best safe and thanks
I agree, just did four years with them! They're an great company, just need better pay!
I have a verbal commitment to attend the orientation in Des Moines in a few weeks but after watching this I'm definitely reconsidering.
I’m sorry if the video was discouraging, TMC is awesome for building experience.
Oh no don't be sorry. Your video was very informative.
@@oldrookie266 so they essentially lie about the pay?
@@mr.honeybee7661 not sure if they lie but a person can make good money here if you stay gone all the time.
If you do the sponsored CDL program do you take your test in manual or auto because I don't want restrictions on my CDL if that's what it is because most of their fleet I heard of automatics
Currently in CDL school and I've been dead set on this company because of their reputation in hauling flatbed. They 100% sell the crap out of it when they came to visit for recruiting but, I feel like joining this company is more of an investment in yourself & skills than a quick buck which is why I want to go there.
It’s a great choice you will not regret
Is it better than western express 😂
@@AJ-eo2lx hell yes
Anybody know anything about Gypsum Express? They too are a flatbed company I've been looking into. 🤷
$800 a week is not good money. You can make that doing armed security and be home every night. I am not sleeping in a truck for $800 a week.
The thing I hated the most was doing the Lowe’s/Home Depot dc load securing those things was such a hassle
Lol that sucked most definitely
Thanks for this video man. I’m currently in school. Recruiter came from TMC. Now I know their job is to sell it, but he really did make it sound very appealing. I’m still leaning towards them because I do like the level of pride in demanding the level of cleanliness and care of their equipment, and the training seems very thorough. Now this recruiter told us first year drivers make an average of 74k a year and tip earners over 88k. So to hear how the pay really is, kind of discouraging….but I think I’m still going to apply. I am heavily tattooed (hands,neck, face). Do you know much on their stance with personal appearance? Appreciate you man! Cheers!
TMC is an awesome company, if you stay out you can make ok money with these guys. When I was there they were pretty laid back on tattoos. Stay positive!! Best of luck and stay safe.
@@oldrookie266 Thanks brother and I will!!
I wouldn’t hire you
people looking like psychos dont make things any better. You probably wont pass the drug test anyway.

@@oldrookie266 Evolving is a beautiful process, some never experience it.

@@BlueDoggxlt never stop chasing excellence!!! Your game plan will take you places.
Sounds just like any other company. I’m with it 👍🏽
Do you have any videos of you tarping the load and folding the tarp?
They almost recruited my ass years ago. All ive ever run is flatbed. But found out about the pay and time out on the road, just wouldnt work for me. I wound up driving for a nation wide company that runs certain regions. I run the northeast, indiana line to atlantic and nc line to candian border. Its still flatbed but im home every other night and still run 2500 miles a week. And my low average throughout the year is still 1300 a week gross. And no tarping!
Now where i worked before here i drove and loaded and unloaded trucks. Dealt with a lot of tmc drivers, they were, how do you say, some of the most professional and understanding drivers i ever worked with. When i worked in receiving, they were automatically put to the front, because when they came to check in, load was ready to come off. Never once did i have to wait for them to roll up straps or pull tarps, unless it was pouring rain. Which for me was a huge time saver and got them back out the gate quicker than anybody else. They are definitely sticklers for professionalism, they always had their stuff together.
Hey Brother. I'm living in Indiana and was wondering about that company that gets you home nightly. I would love to research them as well. Was willing to sacrifice being gone all week to provide for my family but if I could make about the same and be home nightly that would be optimal
I worked for tmc for a month about 20 years ago my trainer was the pits maybe got one shower a week. Tarping and straping down loads is very hard work. I have worked dry van ever since I quit TMC.
Bad experiences suck, awesome you found something that works for you. Safe travels and thanks for the comment
Thank you Sir for the information as well as your honesty, I am actually within the process of narrowing down a trucking company with TMC included. I'm still conducting my research, I've my CDL-B and will be obtaining my CDL-A LP along with a tanker-hazmat endorsement within the near future. Any additional information that you can provide and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Always do your research, always protect your license, the mega companies can and will ham you up. Good luck in your research

Yeah I got sent home on day 1 at Maverick but I'm not giving up, I'm still gonna keep going until I make it
Keep at it, the reward is worth it driver.
Why did you get sent home?
@@Blackjacknutrition Honestly I showed up late, it was my fault
@@Blackjacknutrition I'm going back into the Army as an 88m, gonna get my CDL that way
Be careful if that’s the only reason for joining. Remember that even if you join as an 88M you still have to do a CDL course now a days it’s not like it use to be prior to February 7 where you could get a memo signed by your commander and take it to the dmv and get your CDL
My husband actually works for TMC. He went with them because how they make sure the equipment is in top notch condition.
They don’t Play around with the condition and curb appeal there truck thanks for the comment
Just work for Mcelroy Truck Lines. I make 1800 gross per week with no experience required working dedicated. Doing 9 to 10 loads a week.
I can work straight from out of school?
@@Durtydee904 Yeah you can. They train you for 7 weeks and pay up for training and your hotel. Pretty sweet.
It says on their site you need 12 months of OTR experience ...
I started 1980 there was 250 kw truck hold company and owner operators 50 at time and trainer runs all 48 state's and Canada 🇨🇦 drive up to 2007 //
great info 👍. straight and no bs..
Thought about going to TMC because they have a terminal in Brownsburg Indiana where i currently work for Amerigas hauling propane in a Class 8 tandem bobtail. Instead i'm going to stay with hazmat and am going to Al Warren Oil and I'll get my Class A through them and their sister company Altom Transport
That’s absolutely amazing, congratulations. Really hope it all works out.
With no experience and graduating from Smith and Solomons this October im lookng into TMC just because of flat bedding
Great choice

If TMC paid so well and were so good to their drivers. they would put out an add saying, our middle pay was 130,000 and average home time was 10 days a month. but they dont, i went to their orientation and met 4 truck drivers there. they all were quitting. Always ask about turn over rate. and TMC being 100% tarp no matter the load.
Wait, they are 100%tarp? I have seen tons of TMC drivers channels where they are only tarping for bad weather or if the customer requests it. Am I misunderstanding?
Thank you so much for this information!
brooo you sound like Tom Hanks lol Good video!
Thank you for introducing about TMC transportation Company.
Some true but some not I’m in Des Moine, TA rn as a student but TMC is a employee owned company meaning you see all your money on the back end you own a share of the company off rip. A lot people out my class hasn’t dropped out actually everybody still here and passing all the test the test aren’t hard at all but you required to make a 80 to pass yes they take their cleanses serious all the equipment brand new trucks etc. our teachers are cool af not really strict at all they won’t leave you behind if you behind the class a little overall a good company only thing I can say is they could pay driver more expect to see 1500-1600 weekly and if you work weekends about 2400. Percentage pays will easily rise unless you just can’t drive at all then you’ll get fired obviously. But they are not hard on you at all. And you get paid weekly to go though training and all food is free.
TMC is an awesome company and this post wasn’t publish to discredit these guys. People need to remember THIS IS MY OPINION not YOURS. To the viewers please understand everyone’s personal experience will differ Especially where you live and how long you stay out. Please stay respectful and don’t say “SOME TRUTH BUT SOME NOT” you would be actually calling me a liar titling your first paragraph this way. FYI unless things have changed the food isn’t completely free for people who have experience, yes food WAS free if you received from the ground up training with these guys but of course you would have known that because I clearly said this in my videos. TMC isn’t a hard company to work for nor a hard company to Gain employment with BUT everyone’s experience will differ since we all are different lol. I’m sorry driver but I invite you to post your TMC pay right here on my channel to prove me wrong about this $1500-1600 and working on weekends $2400. The Average driver going home every week or every two weeks will not be turning in these numbers.
Thanks for the comment I like hearing the voices of others.
Stay safe out there!!
went to tmc... I was hella excited but when I got there man they presented everything great and I thought it was a great company but two weeks I left bro instructors was way to rude if you said anything it could be respectful like look I'm a grown man no need to yell at me they would send you home... I knew what I was getting at face value would be how it would be after training so I left and applied to maverick... wish I would had went there off the muscle but tmc trucks had me in a daze.... we trained 14hours 6am to 8pm most days the food at school was little and not enough then you would get a sandwich at 7pm... its a great company but they got a long way to go far as treating a man with respect but they demand respect... nd stay off the grass at the school and hotel...
You had me reminiscing lol
@@oldrookie266 ... no doubt lol...
Excellent review.
@Old rookie do you have a choice in NOT HAVING to have your name on the side of the truck or is that just not an option to say no?
When I was there, they gave you the option
I'm thinking about going there after school's done in April
Great choice
Currently do last mile, wanting to get my cdl and do flatbet. Should I get my cdl first (my current employer will pay for it ) or go through TMC? If I already have my cdl will that open up better options than TMC or do I need to gain experience first?
I drove a truck for about 8 years got dui back in 08 .now im a good boy wanting to get back into trucking. Drove flatbed for few months when it first got my cdl.then went to dry van and refer.
Glad to hear your doing great, hope it all works out for you.
I loved tmc they always took care of me... its was like a big family there... everyone was great...
Absolutely, not too many companies out there like that. Thanks for the comment stay safe professional driver
What about team driving i.e husband and wife teams/ otr?
Absolutely, they love spouse teams
@@oldrookie266tmc don’t do team driving
@@kendrickgandy2377 thanks for the updated information
What would happen if you fail your tests? I've been looking into the trucking path but can't find anywhere what would happen if you fail. Do you get another chance, or do they just send you home? And what about the cost? Do they cut their losses with you or make you pay since the deal would be you get the training for free if you work for them for a year?
These guys really do all they can to make sure you pass your test even if they have to recycle you. I wouldn’t worry about it and TMC is an awesome company to let help you break out into the flatbed industry.
@@oldrookie266 That's good to hear, thanks!
Is it really regional I live in Chicago and was curious to know where the loads I would be getting and is the home time leave out Sundays home Fridays?
@@rudyrodriguez2365 they do have regional and dedicated but mostly OTR, home time is up to you. Loads are picked from everywhere
@@oldrookie266 will they give me the option and I been talking to a recruiter she said yes home every weekend but she hasn’t said otr regional or dedicated
@@rudyrodriguez2365 you have to request the option
I just got my CDLs I’m more than likely going to join TMC. How long is the OTR training? I’m not much of a team driving fan. Everything else I’ll deal with being I’m inexperienced Thanks for the vid.
TMC is an awesome choice! Thanks for watching my channel. Zero experience I think you OJT for one month (sorry it’s been a long time since I’ve worked there) and a few weeks of orientation training. If I’m incorrect hopefully someone chimes in.
I’m considering going to TMC when I finish Trucking School. Im doing my research and I’ve heard good and not so good things, what is the most difficult part while in Iowa? What does their written test consist of? 9:38
Sorry for the delay in responding but really nothing was to hard besides maybe getting up at the ass crack of dawn to catch that bus, game over if you miss it.
Good info trucker. Thx
I’m turning 70yrs this year would they give a chance? I’m in good shape, no meds or medical problems. I’ve been driving a bout a yr and a half niw and currently driving OTR
I don’t think they discriminate against age. Always keep chasing excellence
Is the agility test only lifting and carrying the tarps or is there more things involved.
Few more things are involved, jumping from the ground up onto the trailer and climbing a latter
Considering going to the Columbia SC School. You state Jumping but do u ou mean climbing up? and down.
I have had both knows replaced no jumping for me with plastic knees.
Also how heavy is those 8 ft tarps and do you have to manually lift them to the top.
I use to have the fork lift guys buss them up for me years ago.
@@stevewildman1045 you jump from the ground up, the 8 footers are 100 pounds and sometimes you do get the pleasures of the Forklift operators to put them on deck for you.
@@stevewildman1045I don’t believe you would be jumping from the ground to the trailer like a high jumper. I’d imagine it’d be like getting into the tailgate of a high pickup truck. Hands on trailer and getting your but up there kinda thing
Were there any reasons you didn't go lease purchase with tmc?
I did inquire on this but they didn’t offer it me for whatever reason, they did try getting me to purchase a truck in Ankeny but I didn’t have enough money for the down payment so I passed.
Unfortunately I had to let my CDL go when I learned I have a heart condition that keeps me from being able to pass the DOT Physical.
So sorry to hear about that and thank you for sharing it with me, so much appreciation you watch my channel. Be safe out there.
Hi Old Rookie. I have a question regarding felony records. Does TMC hire felons?
Thinking about joining TMC what was your percentage pay of load being that it is not CPM
When I left I was at 28%
Crossed off my list.
What flatbed company would you suggest a new driver to begin with?
TMC, maverick or prime.
I have looked at all three and think I am leaning towards Maverick. TMC is super convenient though, living in Columbia SC with a wife and kids.
How's tmc communication with the dispatcher, when your on the road
Pretty easy, you take what you get
Good info. I don't need a thank you. I do this job for my family and me. It's nice to have a job that keeps the economy going and give people jobs. But I don't want or need a thank you. People wanna thank us?
Ok, how about not cutting us off, learn what yield means, don't speed up and try to block us when we need to get over on the interstate. Etc...
I thank all professional drivers, implying team work and understanding the frustrations. It’s not easy being a professional driver. The responsibilities are Huge, The lives of others depend on you being successful in all inclement situations. From an economic standpoint truck drivers can make or break the situation, people depend on you whether you like it or not. YES, stop cutting drivers off please. Thanks for the response, stay safe out there.
Happy holidays
@@oldrookie266 no problem, thanks for your info. Merry Christmas, happy new yr etc ..yeah it's definitely a huge responsibility out there.. stay safe too.
You have to drive for everyone bc most people are all about me on the road and in every aspect of society. People just don't care about anything but themselves overall.
What if you have your 6 week CDL course, how long is orientation then
Don’t quote me, but it’s probably three or four weeks
Can you apply directly for a dedicated position? I live near Flippin so was thinking boats would be a good run.
When I worked there you had to be there I believe it was a year or 2 to get on boats or anything with a lowboy
Yes and no, boats at the time I was there you had to be with TMC for a hot minute before they accepted you
Thank y’all for the answers, I appreciate it.
How do they treat women trainees? Can a 5'4-1/2" woman tarp? Can anyone do this with their training. Thanks for your video and any advice
I seen a few ladies over at TMC while I was there. Tarps will be heavy but manageable, never stop chasing excellence!
They will treat you with the same respect given
so What would you say pay range is for working one week and coming home on the weekend , trying to see if maybe sacrificing a weekend or two so that i can actually see the good money
On average drivers are grossing 8-10k per week to the truck staying out two weeks at a time.
@@oldrookie266 8k a week is this
For owner operators?
@@coldfusion5153 lease purchase
I'm stuck between TMC and Roehl transport, I'm hard hearing and I already get my learner permit so do you have any good advice for my first time to get training necessary for CDL out of those two companies?
TMC hands down, they have the best training in the industry. Military style greetings, leave the feelings at the door.
Hey i’m considering TMC but I do have a question for you. How often do they have classes?
When I was there, I believe it was every week
So if you have a class A, with no automatic restrictions, but the last time you ever been in a manual was years ago, can you opt for automatic?
Yes
awesome video. very insightful. for the physical, do they test your vision for both eyes?
lol much appreciation, absolutely both eyes are tested.
@@oldrookie266 do you know if legally blind people from one eye are allowed to drive?
@@boogle103 honestly I’m not sure, great question. Sorry I wasn’t much help, have an awesome weekend ahead.
How hard was the testing? Wat kind of testing ?
I’m currently looking at options I was leaning towards tmc but I may shoot maverick a message I just received my cdl , and being away not clearing at least 1000 consistent with all the work that includes flatbed load isn’t it for me lol
I totally understand, you need to go places that pay. As a Flatbeder you need to be higher on the pay scale because of the work that entails.
@@oldrookie266 I agree! I just don’t know where to start 😂 I see a lot out here but don’t want to choice wrong , I just graduated trucking school yesterday
Maverick is a good one too but they are like a prison almost outside the classroom and even then its very structured and forced. 1 slip up and theyll send you home, and you better be fit too lol. But other then that theyre a great comapny too
@@Shadow0fd3ath24 awesome information, Thanks for the comment
Who do you think makes the better money for the lesser loads TMC or Maverick It just seems Like Maverick doesn't do as many loads as TMC and get paid a hell of a lot more. Any truth to this? I don't know personally myself it just seems that way. When I hear TMC drivers and Maverick drivers talk about loads and pays and miles
Good question, I personally never worked for Maverick but I do know people who have work there. TMC line haul does pull more loads per week, both sides of the aisle makes about the same amount of money. Both companies are really good to work for gaining that flat bedding experience.
They low ball the miles to the shipper then when your oor goes up they lower your pay
Recruiter wants me to Des Moines. The temperature is -17 there.
I'm from Texas and not use to those conditions. Do they train indoors except for driving?
Most training is indoors, 98%.
@@oldrookie266 Thanks
Thanks for this video.
Trailers are supposed to up to maintenance the same as the truck. So why does TMC not take care of this maintenance issue? TMC called me for a job and I'm a new CDL holder, I'm a woman and I most definitely don't mind hard work but if my trailer is going to have issues then that's a big no, no . 🤦 My goal is to get into heavy hauling because I'm also certified in heavy equipment operations. Having a bad trailer can also cause issues with DOT and im most definitely NOT having that especially since its the companies responsible as a company driver.
TMC is notorious for trailer swapping out in the field as you probably already know, TMC should be held accountable at some level for discrepancies amongst trailers out in the field but our brothers and sisters drivers are absolutely notorious looking the other way, when a problem arises
Does the physical agility test include hauling the 8' tarps? And do you feel their training program got you a leg up on other flat bedders because of the intensive training?
8’ are included and really not sure if it was a leg up on others because there are others who do kinda the same.
@@oldrookie266 how long does it usually take to get into OD with them?
@@nickwilliam78 I believe it was a year or two
Well I have watched these guys strap shingles and they go way to far with securement .These guys have to climb on the trailer and move shingles into different positions. My opinion unless u have to don't climb on product .These pallets are put on secure enough no need to go through that crap throw your straps and leave them the way they lay I have never moved the shingles in 2 and a half years and they have never moved or have I lost a single bundle and for anyone arguing that it keeps the shingles from getting smashed in the middle well i got news for you I have never paid for a single bundle and no one has ever said anything or refused the load . We are not Hauling death coils here folks and definitely not hog tieing lol Sorry but Tmc is a start your career company they already know the turn over rate and their plan is based on it . Tarps are hard work and if I'm tarping twice a day I'm moving on good to Tmc and drivers but tmc take care if your drivers better . We are looking to make u money so let your drivers run the a/c that's ridiculous. And give them time to shower I have seen your employees work and they are some of the hardest workers in the business other than operater owners .It's not always about money .
Im retiring from the military this summer and considering TMC. We are moving back to the east from Washington state. I just finished CDL school with troops into transportation, will be doing the Washington state CDL test to get my license. What advice do you have for me? Thanks.
It sounds like everything your doing is right on track, TMC is an Excellent option. You’ll do great their, thanks for your service!! Shoot me a message if you need anything.
Do they teach you how to drive Manuel transmission or is everything pretty much automatic?
When I was at TMC they had both, not sure now.

Thank you for sharing
Do TMC have team driving?
Not sure
Hi there Old rookie! How are you? I have a question for you about TMC? I've been driving Van/Refer/Tanker for the last 5 years or so. I wanted to get on with ATS, but after a 600 mile drive to orientation the instructor failed me, and wouldn't allow me to move on. So now I'm looking for somewhere to learn flatbed. Can you tell me about what will happen in Orientation? What are the tests like? Agility test remind me of what Prime did. I should mention Im 42 right now.
Hi Ben, hopefully your having a great Sunday. TMC orientation isn’t complicated, lots of class time and test. Physical agility was a breeze, if your active I wouldn’t worry. With your current experience O.J. T shouldn’t be more than two weeks with an instructor, there is a driving test and from what I remember you either get an automatic or a manual depending on what it says on your drivers license. Sorry to hear about your experience with ATS, TMC Is a great choice.
Good luck!!
Get your own truck if you can. These big companies are all the same. Period. Dont expect anything different.
Great video! So i have a couple questions. Do they really get you home on weekends ? Also can you make the 800 to 1100 a week while getting home on weekends ? Thank you very much for this video ima new subscriber im going to be checking out the rest of your stuff!
I am a driver with CDL-A but no experience driving Semis. I got my cdl on my own and have only driven class A bucket and dump trucks. Was looking at TMC to start my career. Is there any other companies you would recommend?
I should have also added I live in Michigan
Maverick, prime, Ats and Swift are some I see right off hand.
I am an Air Force vet with a stickler for attention to detail and I feel like TMC is a great first stone (I start CDL-A Training 5th of July 2022). I wasn't interested in flat bed at first, I was looking at getting into tanker and hazmat (I moved 6000 gals of jet fuel between aircraft and have felt as well as understand the movement of liquid) but after consideration I feel flatbed offers diversity and I am getting a little excited about the idea. What advice would you give to someone about to start a new journey with knowledge of how loads shift and a background in trucing? I know some carriers take advantage but yet there are opportunities for non idiots... I am a non idiot, grew up around trucks... I don't believe I fall into the 4 wheeler looking for an easy check. I fall into the guuy who can shift a manual car without a clutch (done it many times). I am not the 21st century rookie

Is TMC a good company to start with straight out of school. Or go drive for Werner dedicated family dollar general?
TMC is a great company to work for fresh out of school, you will learn valuable information with these guys you’ll need to create that foundation for future goals.
I should be done with tech school and come out with my cdl if everything goes well in a couple of weeks. I am scheduled to go to orientation at TMC the next week. Kind of got me worried so many folks washed out in your class. Is there a better choice you know of for someone coming out of Ga? I hope to be in my own truck in a couple of years but for now I just want to get my feet wet and learn the ropes. Thanks for the videos and info.
. TMC is some of the best training you can get, just stay focused and read all the materials they give you. Sorry not to familiar with the GA area.
Dude, the training is so easy... lots of classroom time and some very basic tests. then very basic physical tests, lifting the tarp... then the driving test (probably in Columbia for you) super easy, I think one turn downtown Columbia is super tight turn but doable... Stick with it, if I can do it with no CDL experience in my entire family history totally new to this, you can also do it.
