TMC from the inside

Well Mr ED i put the app in today and they got back with me in 2 hrs and have all my paper work in...that was fast. Nice to see that they have an experience class so you dont have to do the 5 wks with a trainer.
Laura said ill be out maybe one poss. 2 wks with trainer. Just depend on how fast I can get the rust knocked off.
will prolly be there the 16th of April

 

Thanks riverrat, I was wondering about TMC. Looked at there site today and filled out an online app. I got about four more weeks of school left and then I'm out the door. Good to hear some pluses about some of these company's. :smt023

if you ain't growin' you ain't goin'

 

They just taised tarp paay to 20 for steel tarp and 25 for lumber. Also you get 25 for stop off pay instead of 20.

 

That was professional and insightful!

 

I put my application in february. Finally today i was ok'ed. Ive had a helluva time getti g hold of my recruiter each week. Seems like they go over your background and paperwork with a fine tooth comb. I feel as if im resigning to be on an elite force.

 

a lot of good info in this thread thanks to all who posted. still in school til sep. but this is good stuff to help when its decision time

 

Hi guys.. Just a little info on TMC.. by the way riverrat..your handle sounds familiar.. anyway.. I was a driver for TMC from Apr 98-Feb 99. I quit there because of pay reasons..I was moving freight but I got like 3 weeks of nothing but 480.00 loads of lumber. I was at 29% so it wasn't too good. I only left for better pay. Everything else about TMC was real good. The people were awesome, the facilities were awesome, even the driving was cool. The equipment is top of the line, home time was okay. I just recently tried to go back to TMC but I can't because of no "recent experience"...meaning in the last 3 years. I am gonna find something else to get that and then try again in awhile to come back there. I did have some small issues...but they got resolved. Hope you guys do awesome in the training..it is a good company to work for I will say that. Some people I know, and 1 of them was a trainer there, left as well and are negative about them, but everyone has his/her own agenda. By the way, about the no "recent experience" thing...I have been driving, but I was a tester for the MRAP vehicles and more for our troops working for DoD at Aberdeen Proving Grounds for the last 6 years, but due to budget cuts and a reduction in force got laid off. Like the one riverrat had posted on his profile pic. Again, hope you guys do good in the training...be safe out there.

 

@ Riverrat

So whhat kind of math problems do they give you? lol I'm looking forward to doing a tiny bit of testing but no sentenced math ####. I haven't gone to school yet but my school has maps, timing, routing in store and that sounds better than math problems, not really good with algebra II ####, i mean if its like if a 379 has two diesel fuel tanks one is 150 and one is 100 how many gallons can it hold together? umm 250? something like that then ok(easy to let you know what your in maybe?) lmao not trying to sound stupid or making industry stupid but math????? ugh

 

Dude, calm down guy. Its just basic math. TMC just wants to make sure they're not gonna hire idiots.
