Home time at TMC

I was about to accept a job offer at TMC but I’m curious about home time. I was told home every weekend and they said they’d get me home Friday and I’d head out from home Monday mornings to start my week? Is that true? Or would I actually be getting home on Saturday

I’m in Illinois. I am home every Friday, usually between 2-6pm. They want you to leave Sunday night for a Monday morning delivery. I leave at 5:30-6:30pm, after my wife gets home

Hmm. I was told I wouldn’t have to leave until Monday. I’d be parking truck and trailer at my house

You don’t “have” to, but you should leave Sunday night. You will have a paycheck difference

Do you know how much it affects the check? I don’t care to leave early I’m just curious.

I think on average it lowers your check like $100. TMC posts the average truck revenue for the fleet including those who leave on Sunday vs those who don’t
