    Hello all. I've been lurking here for about 6-8 months but haven't contributed anything, I've just been taking stuff in.

    I started red studying for my written tests, passed them, got my DOT physical completed, and then wound up laid off from the job I was working. I got enrolled in a training school in Austin, TX, where I live, and just graduated last week. At graduation time I had been talking to Gus with TMC. He has been a huge help and seems like a good guy, didn't sugarcoat anything and just have me the no BS basics, which is what I was looking for. After considering my other options (teams with a buddy at Werner, local for the beer company, or oilfield), I decided this was my best route.

    I considered the Texas Dedicated account but ultimately decided on Line Haul, I figured I'd see more, learn more, and make more there. I will update this periodically, all thought I'm not sure it will be as in depth as Gunner75's thread.

    Any advice, questions, comments, are all welcome!
     
    C & C Thanks this.

    Congrats on getting CDL! From what I see on here about TMC they seem like a good Flatbed company.

    Best of luck TX Mike

    I agree, powerstroke. That's part of why I picked TMC.
