Morning all,I drove otr for about a year from 2000 to 2001 for U.S. Xpress. I got married started a family and wanted to be there for my kids,now my kids are getting to the point that they'll be out on their own in a few years and I have missed trucking terribly ,the passion to be out there has never left and as it will be just my wife and I left at home I'm ready to get back out there and she can go with me some or stay home when she chooses.

Anyway I've been doing a lot of research on different companies,flatbed in particular and I really like what I've read and came across on TMC Transport and was wanting to get some unbiased opinions on the company from anyone who has ties with the company or just knows info about them,of course I'm not gonna be driving for awhile I'm still trying to do extensive research to make the right choice.I'm gonna be some where around 50 when I'm actually able to get back out there and I'm not a very big guy about 165 pounds 5'08",healthy as far as I know with a physical job now and I stay pretty active,so one of the things I was wanting to know is if at that age can I handle the rigors of flatbed work,I'm not scared of work,and any other aspects of the company one can shed light on....thx a lot and y'all be safe out there

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

Ive got a friend who drives for them and he tells me that he loves the company he works for! Im not sure exactly what it is that he likes so much.

I have not worked for them but have worked beside and talked to alot of there drivers and have not once ever heard anyone have any real complaint. The only thing anyone has ever said was that when they pull your truck in for inspection it had better be spotless but other then that a real solid place to work.
