I am SheepDog and this is my thread;

I see your from TN. Don't overlook a smaller outfit out of Indianapolis called Venture Logistics. www.venlog.com. I went from TMC to them and am very happy. They run 400-500 trucks. Mostly Freightliner Columbia's. We have a Cascadia's as well and plenty of new ones coming. I get home every weekend and there are people from all parts of the Mid-east (TN, KY, GA, AL, etc) that do as well. BTW I'm not a recruiter but I do think what happened at TMC is BS.

 

This is late and I hope it all worked out, but the Guard should know that civilian employers are under no obligation to provide information other than dates of hire and termination. To do so opens the company up to possible Privacy Act violations; no company worth its salt will do that...there is WAY too much liability.

 

Hey Sheep Dog, so sorry to hear you got hurt while on reserve status. That sucks guy. as you know, TMC "let you go" because you could not report for duty, being on injured status from the Guard. Its in no way a fair situation. But, thats the life of a reservist!! I served 21 yrs in the Army Reserve, served time in Iraq for over a year. As a retired soldier(reserve) I dont get half the benifits of active duty soldiers! Sucks man, I really hate it for you. Glad to hear your wife is gonna truck with you though. Thats cool. Be safe guy. Thank you for your service to our country!!!

 

Hey sheepdog. i am in my 4th week out w my trainer and im from tn. hit me up if u have any questions

 

Hey Rogue Angel, hows it going ? Are you out now flying solo? How was life in the trainers truck? What did you do for food and showers? Did you do all the driving, or did the trainer run his truck as a team? What truck did the company assign you?

 

not solo yet and life with trainer is great. i bring food and he lets me use cooler space and i do most of the driving and some as a team. he get showers for me. and he has a 388 pete. i am hoping to get a 387 or 379 ex hood. hit me up any time

 

Hey thanks Rogue. I assume your in the top bunk? How much space do you have while sharing his truck? Also, I've ALWAYS wanted to know.... what do you do all day while your driving? I also assume your logging 8-10 hrs a day behind the wheel? Has it gotten old yet doing the same thing everyday? And, how are you getting on the internet? Are you using an aircard, or do you wait for wi-fi somewhere? And while with the trainer, what are you doing for your 10hr down time, besides sleeping? When do you get to go solo? And lastly.... hows TMC treating you so far? Thanks guy. Be safe.
