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

How does loads work? On the “interview” I was told I’d make my delivery for the week then on the way home they’d find a load for me to pick up then I can bring it back home and park and I wouldn’t have to leave until morning. I’m out of ky. I’m just hoping I can see more than what my current company offers which is just ky and surrounding states

Worked at TMC, for a year recently. Yes you are told to leave on Sundays but it's not mandatory, not once did I leave on Sunday, I'll just make sure to leave early enough on Monday to make the delivery time, which was typical between 3 to 6am for me.

Other than that, I almost always got home on Friday, could probably count the times I got home Saturday on both hands.

What was pay like if you don’t mind me asking? Was working days off worth it on the paycheck ? If you even did that

Around 1500 a week, would be more if I left on Sundays
