Tennant Truck Lines-Colona, IL

I have been leased to Tennant for a year now. I'm doing very well here. We haul machinery (Combines, planters, tractors, excavators, payloaders, ect). For company drivers it's newer prostars and newer petes. Pay is pretty good, you'll get treated right. Send me a PM and I'll give ya my number. I'm too new on the forum to PM you.

I'm looking at leasing with tennant. Do you % or Mileage pay. How's your home time looking. I submitted my app tonight for them. Any help would be appreciated

 

I live in Baltimore about 15 minutes from the port and 25 minutes from their drop yard and I would like to know more about Tennent as well. Would like to get into equipment hauling.

 

Here are some answers to your questions. I got these in response from a recruiter to my curiosity.

We primarily run Midwest, east and southeast. We have terminals in Colona, IL, Baltimore, MD, Augusta, GA and Wichita, KS. We also have drop yards in Fargo, ND and Grand Island, NE. We have freight that goes to the SE.

.40 loaded and empty. .05 for anything o/d and .15 for anything over 52,000 lbs. We also have a van division that is .32 loaded and empty.

Home time is every 14 days

All of the trucks are equipped with refrigerators. We also have espar units (for the heat in the bunk)

They do not like to use the toll roads. All trucks have ez pass and pre pass.

We require 2 yrs Over the Road flatbed experience. We are currently working on a training program. The van division also requires 2 yrs over the road experience. We are looking into doing a securement training program here in Colona, IL.

We provide the rental car to get to orientation and reimburse for any fuel put into the rental.

Hopes this helps.

 

I applied to tennant and spoke with a recruiter today. So far everything is going okay. I'm really hoping to make this a permanent home for me as a owner operator. Any other o/o have any info about tennant would be greatly appreciated.
