By the way these trucks were beefed up Mack RD's with 427HP Macks and 8LL Eaton Fullers.

also sometimes when a new driver fresh out of cdl school starts with a company they arrogantly think that company is the best of the best and no one can tell them no different until inevitably that company does that person wrong finally then that company is garbage and they move on to the next so I wouldn't go with TMC because of the hype or their shiny truck image. Those are definitely the wrong reasons.

It is the new drivers who encounter the horror stories that cause the first year drivers to quit in such large numbers resulting in 100% to 150% turnover rates Their comments are very informative on the issues a new driver will face.

Even after being with them for 7 months now, I STILL have yet to find a better choice for new drivers than TMC. For a newbie, TMC offers the highest pay, best home time, excellent benefits, and most beautiful & safe equipment available. Disagree??? Name another large company who compares with them on all of the above and be prepared to back up your claim.
