Tmc Trucking

Looking to hear from you all about TMC? see alot of neg&pos on them and takeing it all in.Just didnt know what to do I want something were I can make money be home every weekend,and want to do all this and be safe doing it.I just got my CDL BACK IN NOV,Im fresh out of cdl school.and of course it was a 160hr course and all the local compyies wont hire me because of no back time.I do have prehire letters from both swiftand Tmc and have been going back and fourth with both of them. a little about me I have worked in an office for 12 years sell wholesale chrylser parts to body shops and they moved the bosses around i really loved my old boss but they put somebody in that does not want to work or learn the computers after about a month he brought us in and ask me how he was doing and what i thought of him. so i let him have it i was just honest told him he couldnt manage a flok of cows and he said yes i can i told him cows are not in floks they are in heards.nedless to say i was all ready in cdl school and was laid off my job so i went full time i would really like to hear more about TMC all of it the good the bad and the ugly.i am supposed to go to there training center in des monies on jan7th and after that didnt know if i will have trouble finding a trainer in my area (Palmyra NY)SO if anyone can give me the inside scoop i would love to hear it thanks

 

Yes that is were i went to school I was in the full time class started in oct8th was going to do it partime but i got laid off before the full time started so i lucked out lol.i have only one complaint with the school there is no backing time i mean you do straight line back ,i think i only got to do a 45degree back once both left and blind side.they do get you ready for the road test mark the inclass teacher is awsome.the yard instructors are awsome well one was lazy and only complained alot but he is no longer there because they give you a sheet at the end of your course to rate your instructors and me and 3 others gave that guy a bad review dont get me wrong he was great but only 5% of the time.there was 8 in our class on road test day well 9 if you count the girl whole fail the 1st time so she was retaking her exam that day with us so 8 of us passed that day 3 guys got 100% me i got 25 points taking off 5 for no air horn check on the pretrip and 10 for the parrell park (too far away and it took me 2 times to do it) and i forget what the other was for i know it was snowing alot nov6th took me 4 hours to get back to rochester.but your in class 3days for permitt prep and the you bobtail for 1 day and the you hook up the trailer and then its alot of road training downtown rochester and 12 coners in brinthon.well i hope i answered your? anything else just ask ttyl richard

 

thats ok thanks for the info on swift i allready made up my mind that im going to TMC and it dont scare me that there strict thats fine with me better that way than haveing someone give you the keys and says now go do your job.to me i love to learn new things and to me i think i can do that at tmc just worryied about little things i read on here but most either dont work for them anymore or they just dont like what they do.you got to love what you do.and i have allways wanted to be a trucker .some of my so called uncles are truckers and my father wanted to do it to but couldnt do that he only had one leg.i got my cdl well i should say i passed my cdl test on the day he died 19yrs ago to the day well ttyl
