How in the #### is TMC a mega? They have less than 3000 trucks. You call them a mega because you managed to get a streak of luck and get your CDL on your own, and beat the dirt to find someone and then beg them to give you a chance at your local job. Not everyone has that luxury, and frankly its a god #### shame you would look down on those of us who dont have that luxury. You and every other individual who think like you is exactly what is wrong with this industry. I looked into all my options and tried to do as you suggested. I tried getting my CDL on my own, I ended up having to go through a community college sponsored school paid for using my GI Bill benefits. I couldnt find anyone to loan me their truck to get the experience needed for the test, let alone had the money to rent one, oh and lets not forget getting private instruction. prior to going with TMC, I visited several local companies here and put in my application. I stopped in and spoke with several owner operators that had trucks sitting, all of them same ####### attitude, "Sorry cant help you, you need at least 6 months". I hit up over 2 dozen places, from Pepsi, to Coke, Old Dominion, christ even Estes said they had no need for someone in my area, and I wasnt about to drive 75 miles one way to their closest terminal.
So I say to you and your elitist attitude, #### you. -

MJ didn't have a "streak of luck". He made good choices. There's a difference.
So "less than 3,000 trucks isn't a mega"?? Yeah....OK.
You really need to lighten up............there's a lot of us out here either in our own trucks or driving for little carriers that have got this figured out.......it ain't all about Qualcomms and employee numbers.MJ1657 Thanks this. -
CRUISIN Thanks this.

And personally I like my qualcomm. Takes all the possible mistakes out of it. I run how I want, I take my breaks when I want. And guess what? I dont have the stress of what could happen if the DOT man pulls me over and I dont have my logs right. -
