    Leaving for Dallas, Schneider training today. I think they have the best starter program for a newbee. They pay motel and 2 meals per day and also $80 per day training in classroom and with a trainer. Go to the Schneider part of this forum and find some real good info from people who are working there now. It is just a starter company.

    I'm going to prime in early Feb mixed opinions on them I know they're the only company so far that will take me cause Schneider wants me to take a refresher course and I don't have that kind of money so prime it is good luck to you both

    Well, what do you think of flatbedding? Are you ready to commit to it? Consider that when evaluating TMC. If it's something you'd like to try, but don't feel confident that you're ready to commit to it, perhaps you might consider companies which operate more than just flatbeds, so that you can leave yourself an out if it turns out not to be your gig.

    They do. That's about all I know about them. I'll leave it to someone who knows the company to describe what else they may or may not do.
