well you will be out for 5 weeks with a trainer so after the first 2 weeks or so you will start getting the hang of it. The most impotant thing is saftey on the road. not just driving but loading unloading parking in the truck stop, all of it. Your trainer is there to help you and teach you so pick his/her brain and dont be afraid to ask a question or tell them when you are not understanding something. The load securment is not that bad and once you get a rythum with the tarps you will have it made. Remember one rule, there is never too much securment on a load!

werner and swift are both solid companeys that have been in bussiness for over forty years.
i don"t think you have yet achieved the expierence to determine what a good or bad companey is.
100% complience? all companies are complient or they lose their authority.
not everybody can drive for tmc?
last time i checked they were hiring drivers with no expierence. so basicly if you have two legs and two arms and are not blind tmc will hire you. -
-
what exactly does that mean stand at attention for 1 hour, and all the other stuff you typed? -
I believe he is an experienced driver who runs for TMC, and rather than get offended by your remarks, deflected them with sarcasm.
terrylamar Thanks this. -
"Wax on, wax off," from the Karate Kid movie. Just a reference to keeping the trucks spotless.
"Walking around the grass." TMC has a strict policy about not walking on the grass. They spend about a million on grounds upkeep. They will fire you if you get caught walking on the grass.
Say, yes sir, no sir. Be able to stand at attention for hour at a time." A reference to TMC, the Trucker's Marine Corps. Everyone thinks TMC is run like a bootcamp.
"And avoid Maverick driver, who get mesmerized by all that chrome that they tend to drive into you." Just a dig at Maverick drivers, we know they all have chrome envy.
"Count to 13." Reference to 13 speed transmissions. -
Am I correct that TMC does not hire men with long hair?
-
-
No long hair, earrings, you have to be in shape, you have to be somewhat educated and organized.DrtyDiesel Thanks this. -
i appoligize i did not realize that you read the rip off report.
i am sure it is just as accurate as a driver dac report.
what laws did you witness swift breaking every day?
did you report these violations?
if these swift and werner law breakers left swift for tmc. tmc as well must be a lawless incomplient company.
