What is the best part of working at the company?
Home most weekends. That's about it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Pay is not what they say it is, flatbed dispatchers are below average. Getting maintenance done on the trucks is subpar. Everyone passes the buck to everyone else. Deceptive hiring practices + recruiters will outright lie to driver s.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Indifferent at best, dismissive and downplaying things often. Safety is talked up but not actually is important as they profess. Friday seems to be the only day they care about getting any work done. Oftentimes you run as far out as you can on Thursday. Sometimes even Friday morning not being able to make it back home at a decent time on Friday. If not Saturday sometime. Being regional, it's supposed to be Monday through Friday often. Your weekends are more like a reset.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Monday and Friday are hopping. The rest of the week could be sitting for hours a day everyday. I mean dropping off a load at 8:00 in the morning and sitting the rest of the day. Waiting for your next load.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flow on how you pick up loads and park empties in the yard. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I don’t have any. The dispatcher knows exactly what you will encounter on everything working normal and “ not normal”. Ain’t their first rodeo. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Pleasant. Come to work to work and everything works its way as a cool place to work. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in and get 1st load, Pre trip and grab your load, off you go. Then return with empty park it and grab your next load etc…
Then punch out.

Do not expect clear or unprompted communication. Do not expect to be paid well, or for anything you do outside of your base pay scale. Owners are greedy. Drivers don't matter besides a paycheck to the owners revenue stream. Cheap equipment that drivers are not incentivized to take care of.  "Pass the buck" should be on a plaque in every department. No internal communication unless you pester them as a driver until they're annoyed with you for asking them to do their job.  Not worth putting your in your time and trading away your life to make money for this company.

They’ll run you however you want to run. Sometimes freight can be a little slower than other times but that is the exception. If your competent you’ll receive little to no micromanagement. Office staff is responsive to driver concerns and hometime requests. Pay per mile is middle of the road but made up for by continuous miles; 3,500 plus weeks is pretty consistent if you stay out. Equipment is well maintained by industry standards, but the shop is run at maximum capacity so some stuff can slip through the cracks. 

Money was good until all of a sudden they wanted to change us from salary to hourly so I went from making 2000 to only 1000 a week ! Gladly I ended up hurting myself but I was fired the following Monday since I couldn’t come to work . I was a night time driver and all the night drivers who are still there have been looking for other jobs . Also not a job for you if you are a family man because you will have time for nothing else . Benefits suck . If you have good experience . There are multiple good paying trucking jobs hiring . Please do not fall for Timco . You’ve been warned ! 

If you are good with having constant load changes, and being put in a truck infested with bed bugs, then Timco is a good place for you. Low Communication between Office and Driver, Shop in Texas is a complete Joke. Alabama Office has the only real shop personal that will fix a issue. And if you leave, will put false information down on your DAC, and Screw you out of your money. Not a Good place to work at.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Easy to talk to. Are not pushy or rude. Several drop and hook loads. Keep drivers running, because they understand they're not making money if driver isn't driving truck making money.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing to think of. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good, friendly. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Driving, drop and hook, not really bothered by anyone.

There is no loyalty. When ask how to fix your department anything said is ignored. Ownership would rather fire and blame than to listen and fix problems. Owners friends can get away with murder. But if they see something anyone else doing they don't like heaven help you. Shop is a revolving door.
You are not given any training to speak of. But you are expected to know everything. 

As an OTR driver, Timco recognized me by name, not just a number. If the owner or co-owner were present when I arrived from my 2 weeks out run, they would greet me by name and ask how things were. Great miles and pay, just not enough home time for my age and responsibilities as a home owner.

If you like to work hard with little compensation this is the job for you, don't expect a raise after your 90 day evaluation, it is not gonna happen even though Timco will tell you that to get you to work there , boss is always late shows up around 9am and misses a day a week, no penalty for the management but expects mechanics there at 7am.
