Well I'm kinda at a crossroad right now. I didn't go to a cdl school for training, I actually went with someone for a few months then took my cdl test. Upon receiving my licence I put in tons of apps and made a lot of calls with nobody wanting to touch me. Main reason was no experience and i didn't go to a cdl school. TMC actually called me back and I'm scheduled for orientation next Monday and in extremely excited. However the recruiter put me in the experienced driver orientation and I told him I've only had my license for a few weeks now. Im far from experienced I'm scared I'm gonna go and make a fool of myself. I don't know what to do, and i have only driven a super 10 and didn't really get to back all that much. Should I worry?
Advice please?

TMC currently has a demand for drivers in certain states that the local truck driving schools have been unable to meet. If you are a resident of one of these states you may qualify to attend TMC’s CDL-A training program for the purpose of obtaining employment at TMC only. The states we are currently seeking applicants from to attend our training program is as follows: Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio, Southern Wisconsin and Southern Minnesota. We also have limited opportunities for applicants residing in Western Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey.KriegHund Thanks this. -

They have a student orientation which lasts two weeks. But the recruiter told me that's only for people who just got out of cdl school. Since I didn't go to a school and went otr for my training I'm considered experienced. I have a 4 day orientation and after that they determine how long I'll be out with a trainer. Id rather have 2 week orientation just so i can learn more.

You don't need a 2 week orientation. Four days is plenty. All you need is securement training then your trainer will teach the rest while on the road. Don't over think it; you'll be fine!
