Anyone have any info on TLD Logistics in Knoxville,Tn

found a thread on them under the report a bad company its from March of 2011 may help some

 

After reading some the true horror stories on this board.. I don't feel so bad now about treatment from TLD.. First, Everybody at TLD is polite and professional, and my concerns are strictly regarding pay and scheduling.. and secondly, I worked for them as a casual, so they may treat their "regulars" differently... but before you work for them you should know, they have two main focuses.. auto suppliers, and a food service account.. It's the food service side you need to avoid (unless you like working for FREE!).. TLD will load multiple stops on the trailer, usually close together, but scheduled to be delivered 8 hours apart! and because some are Walmarts DC, and other food DC's, expect to be at each stop for 2-3 hours. TLD's food service business is dispatched 60 miles from their terminal. So a typical day is hook an empty on the yard, swap it for a load 60 miles away, drive 500 miles for a 2-3 hour delivery, then wait 6-7 hours to deliver the second stop on the trailer, usually at Walmart, so another 2-3 hour wait.. So to do it log book legally, you have 2 full days into your 550 mile run..at .34 cents per mile.. Congratulations, you made $187 for your 2 long days work or about minimum wage... so do your homework, but you'd be better off working FOR Walmart rather than delivering for TLD to Walmart's and other food service DC's.. Happy Trucking!

I went through there CDL school. Then trial by fire with there food loads up north. Won't do that again! I've done more paper runs out of Calhoun TN. As well as a list of other raw materails. I've also done alot of CH Robinson broker loads too. They will keep you running and will work as hard as you do. Average 2500/3000 miles a week on e-logs with a gov. down truck.
