TMC Transportation

Great trucking company! I did 5 years with these guys and thoroughly enjoyed growing my knowledge and experiences with them.

This company seems very organized, and you may think it's a great opportunity. Please do not believe them. Here are a few examples of things they will lie about. They will say you are hired already and are coming for the training for your new job. False, the two-week training is a trial basis, and you can be sent home at any time if you do not pass a portion of it. They will find you an O-T-R trainer within 150 miles of your home. False. Some drivers must go as far as 300 miles from their homes to meet their trainers. You are paid for your two-week training. Wrong if you decide that TMC is not the company for you. You will not be paid for your training, and you will have to pay for the DOT physical they make you get on the first day. You will earn 1500 per week before taxes. False. You will only make this much if you work 7 days a week. This company pretends to be honest and wholesome, and I'm sure at one point they were, however, as of now, they are misleading and dishonest. This is not a company to work for unless you enjoy being tricked.

TMC always looked like a decent company to me, especially since they advertised at the school I attended for my civilian CDL. I was looking forward to potentially working for them.

Great contact and good job.

I worked here as a driver out of CDL school for a year and a half and have nothing but good things to say about this company. What stood out most was their professionalism, competency, and they were true to their word on everything. Training was top notch. I felt well equipped to handle any situation. Company lives and breathes safety. Fleet manager (shout out to Arnie) was outstanding. Probably one of the biggest contributors as to why I liked working here.

A good company for beginners looking to gain experience, but not ideal for long-term career growth. Securing good loads can be challenging. The company emphasizes safety. A typical day involves unloading, picking up a new load, and driving all day.

A solid workplace where there's always something new happening. Drivers are trained properly, ensuring they understand safe trucking practices and load securement, which is strictly enforced.

- Best part of the job: Great pay, great people, and an enjoyable workload. - Most stressful part: Mountain driving can be challenging. - Work environment and culture: Excellent team, especially the fleet manager. - Typical day: Driving.

- Best part of the job: Well-maintained equipment and thorough driver screening. - Most stressful part: Lack of regard for drivers’ weekend family time. - Work environment and culture: Relaxed environment where drivers work at their own pace. - Typical day: Wake up, refuel, drive, sleep, and repeat.

A great place to work—if you put in the effort, it reflects in your earnings. Many complaints about pay stem from drivers not leaving on Sundays to be ready for Monday deliveries or failing to complete five loads a week.

The workplace culture and management are solid, but the pay-to-work ratio could be improved. The training program is valuable for those who complete it.

A great entry-level company for learning flatbed trucking. The training lasts 2–3 weeks on campus, followed by a month of team driving before receiving an individual truck assignment. Benefits seem decent, though I haven't used them yet.

A positive work environment with enjoyable moments. No complaints overall, and I’d recommend this company for flatbed training.

Even for rookies, this is a terrible company to work for. They initially sent a warning letter, then suddenly needed me to work, then changed their mind, then micromanaged everything.

Completely disorganized with poor pay. Office staff is deceptive, and executives have lied in person. By far the worst company I’ve worked for, with no real positives left.

A reliable company that compensates employees well while maintaining a strong focus on safety. Pay is performance-based, so earnings depend on effort.

Good training for load securement and up-to-date equipment. Pay depends on individual work habits. Overall, a great place to start in the industry.

Good for gaining initial experience in trucking, but much depends on the assigned trainer. The company is strict about truck appearance.

Hardworking drivers who stay focused can earn well here, but don’t expect the company to care about you. Weekly earnings range from $1,200 to $1,600 for those pushing hard, though some drivers earn more. Over-the-road drivers typically make more than those who return home every weekend. Sometimes, you must choose between family time or higher pay.

A misleading company that sells recruits unrealistic expectations. Fleet managers treat drivers poorly, and the system benefits trainers and management at the expense of new drivers.

Overall, a decent workplace. Like any job, it has ups and downs. I get the home time I need and run my truck in a way that maximizes earnings. A good starting company.

The equipment is well-maintained, and dispatchers are generally competent. However, drivers are mostly limited to a 34-hour reset at home. Pay is mediocre at best, though it's a reasonable place to start.

- Pros: Good training for flatbed work, well-maintained equipment, and helpful office staff. - Cons: Pay could be better given the workload, benefits are lacking, insurance is expensive and difficult to use without losing income for that day, and there’s no paid sick leave or holiday pay. Vacation is only available after a year of employment.

Flatbed trucking involves tarping, strapping, and securing loads. Taking time to do the job correctly ensures smooth operations. If the truck breaks down, the company covers almost all truck-related costs.

Mostly new equipment with sufficient resources to complete tasks. Various dedicated positions are available across the country. Home time is generally respected.

A good place to start. Equipment is in good condition, but driver amenities are limited. No auxiliary power units, and excessive idling reduces earnings. The securement training is excellent and beneficial for a trucking career.

Pay fluctuated between $700 and $1,800 per week, with 16–18-hour workdays. Management became hostile after I submitted my two-week notice. I wouldn’t work here again. New drivers should gain experience and then leave, as this company overworks employees without fair compensation.

Beyond the tarping and long hours, it’s a decent company for launching a trucking career. Expect weekly earnings of around $900–$1,200. Keeping the truck clean and washed is required.

The pay isn’t great, but the company treats employees well. Expect to handle many tasks on personal time. There are no paid holidays, and vacation benefits could be significantly better.
