TMC CDL (in-house) Training Day 1

Great job. What type of milk hauling? Tankers from the farm? Delivering to stores? Where are you settling down if you dont mind me asking?

Farm to plant, and to prevent doxing, I'll say North of 40, east of 29, and west of 65, and south of the border.

Good luck, I hope it's a good fit for you.

Right at 125,000 miles and $76k gross for the year. I guess in the big picture, it went better than could have been expected.

Awesome job, man! Those are great miles and one heck of a nice salary.

I'm totally out of time right now but I will be back to say a few things.

Amazing, amazing job man. Super impressed!

Those are some impressive numbers, Solo,and not just for a first-year driver, but for any company driver.

I'm sure you'll be a superstar at your next job. Enjoy that vacation in the Caribbean.

Solo, I'm in agreement. What you accomplished is really incredible! My hat's off to you. You're definitely way above average, and the fact that you did that as a flatbedder doesn't go unnoticed by me. I understand all the extra time you spent taking care of some of your loads.

Great job man! I'm very proud of your rookie year. There's just not many new drivers who grasp the big picture concepts enough to lay down a rookie year like you did. That was an exceptional performance!

Thanks gang. Hopefully, this thread will serve as some value to prospective new drivers.

As somebody who currently runs 4+ miles every morning and goes to the gym every day, Flatbed was my only option/hope to be able to maintain any type of activity level.

Have you been able to keep up a fitness routine while OTR?

Not even once.

I ran all through orientation, but the moment I was issued my truck, that was the last time.

Put on 25lbs this year in the truck, and I can count on one hand how many times I ate at a truck stop.

That changes ~Feb 6th once I start my new local milk hauling gig. Can't wait.

Well, you didn't get the exercise in but you sure pulled the cash in....congrats on that! Hopefully you will be able to change things up a bit with the new gig.

Thanks gang. Hopefully, this thread will serve as some value to prospective new drivers.

Still hauling, Solo?

Just going through old(er) threads, and wondering what becometh~!!

Stay & be safe; update would be awesome, if you have the time!!

Hey there! Yes, I've been hauling milk locally for ~1.5 years since leaving TMC. While I do not make TMC money, there's no way I'd go back to OTR driving unless I literally had no other choice. I'm spoiled and lazy now, haha. Being paid hourly is where it's at for me, even if it means making less.
