    My first choice was always Tanker. The day I tested for my CLP I took the Tanker certification... others in my class were just happy to get the CLP so they had to wait until they got their CDL to test out for their certs...which put them behind the eight ball. Four guys in my class.. one was awful.. pulled into a rest stop in 9th gear... he already had his A.. was just waiting to graduate... go figure where he ended up.... One is hauling Doubles and Triples... one is hauling grain... and one is flat bedding out of TMC.

    Wherever you end up... good luck... the jobs are there.

    I wonder when TMC started hiring Florida drivers. That's good news though.

    North Florida only. Must be north of the I4 corridor.
    My parents are about 10 miles south of the Florida/Georgia line.

    Florida huh? Seeing as though my impression was TMC was a Midwest carrier (Iowa) that does surprise me.

    That's one I haven't tried yet.
    They have a school?

    One of their schools is in South Carolina. If I go with them I would probably move to Tennessee.
