set up realistic goals, and make your way to achieve them.
ask your self this: where would you like to be 3 years from now?
what are you realistic willing to do to get there?
now here are some pointers.
if you are planing of staying with the same carrier, then understand that MOST start-out carriers do not cater for experience drivers. there for look for a carrier that have good safety records, good training programs, and you can overlook the turnover rate. check their CSA score, look into their violation, and KEEP your record clean.
the first 2 years in trucking are taxes paid to earn the opportunity to make more.
as for TMC, from what i spoke to some of their drivers @ PU/Del locations, it seams they electronically watch every move you make. they also have a vast verity of bonus programs. and can offer dedicated shippers, regional or dedicated.
i also herd good things about Raul Transportation {or whatever they spelled}, ATS, Combined transport, and as stated Maverick, but it will depend on where you live.
once you have big truck experience, most Flatbed carrier will take you, even if your experience is not flatbed.
