TMC Transportation has flatbed OTR driving opportunities for recent truck driving school graduates. Our training program is a Department of Labor certified apprenticeship that will make you an expert in load securement, tarping, and open freight driving techniques. At TMC, we give our drivers the option on how they want to be paid, by mileage or percentage. Our performance based percentage pay package was designed by our drivers with the driver in mind, and is favored by 85% of our fleet. It provides drivers with the unique opportunity to be paid based on the quality of their work, rather than how long they’ve been with a company. Drivers that choose this package have the potential to earn the equivalent of 48 cents/mile in their second month with us. Why wait for top mileage pay based only on tenure? Our average first year driver is earning between $40,000-$45,000, but we have had new graduates who were able to earn $60,000 in their first year with our company!
We also have a fleet of late model Peterbilt trucks that are maintained at the highest levels. Your name will go on the side of the door. No slip-seating at TMC! Drivers who live in our target hiring area will be home almost every weekend - at least 46 out of 52 weekends a year. You will haul flatbed freight throughout the lower 48 and Canada but most of your loads will deliver in the eastern half of the United States.
Pay & Benefits · Tarp pay & other accessorial pay · Paid orientation & training · Paid vacation · BCBS medical, dental, vision & prescription drug plan · 401 (k) with company match · Assigned equipment; no slip-seating · Free rooms at TMC Hospitality Center when in orientation and when in Des Moines · Department of Labor certified Apprenticeship Program – Veterans with VA education benefits may be eligible to draw on those benefits for up to 18 months during the Apprenticeship phase. Why choose to drive for TMC over any other truck company? · Culture – Ask our drivers about our respect for them. We have high expectations for our drivers and we want drivers who have high expectations for us. The quality and reputations of our drivers are our best reference. · Safety – At TMC we know that your safety and the safety of the public come first. The investment we make in buying the best equipment, maintaining it vigilantly and providing the best safety features is evidenced by our outstanding CSA score. · Reputation – TMC is the standard bearer for flatbed companies. A TMC driver is an individual who wants to be a member of a team that strives to be the best at everything it does. Drivers here are proud that people all over the country know us by the cleanliness and sharpness of our fleet, even if they have never interacted with a truck driver. The quality of TMC’s drivers, equipment and service keep the best customers coming back to us day after day. Connect with us:
