    Hey Marine...

    Out of curiosity, why are you not allowed to store anything in the side boxes?

    I had this same problem with TMC verifying past employment, call the IRS and have them fax your previous years W-2's if you dont still have them yourself, TMC will accept that as verification and its totally free!

    That was never explained, but my guess is for security. When you drop and hook, you'd have to leave the keys for the side box with the trailer. I'd bet a lot of them are just lost out there. But, the keys to the headache rack are with the ignition key.

    That would certainly make sense. Thanks for the feedback.

    I don't see where TMC is slowing down.... I just submited an app. in tonight. I have had to make 3 runs to Macon ,GA in the last 2 days and I have seen these guys everywhere. I know there was 4 TMC trucks southbound on I-75 today between Atl. and Macon. If this is considered slow I definetly need to get in for the busy season LOL . Congrats to the new hire!

    TMC is removing any trailer sideboxes that people damage, rather than fix them. Your headache rack is large enough to put your stuff in most of the time, although if there is a sidebox I will use it.

    Marinevet: That does suck when somebody drops a trailer and keeps their own tarps. I always informed TMC that the load was untarped and went to a truckstop to get someone with a forklift to put the tarps up.

    For anyone out there wondering, TMC just closed orientation in Columbia. I'm in school right now and some past students stopped in that went with TMC. They said that the class started with 31 and was already down to 18. Then they told us that their class was the last one for Columbia. A guy in our class that was already talking to TMC called to confirm. The woman said anyone from our area would have to go to Des Moines.
