    Does anybody know how hard or easy it is to get hired onto tmc after going to a cdl training school?
    Do they take all of the graduates that applied or do some get turned down?
    I meet all of their qualifications as far as driving record and criminal history goes so I'm just curious if I will be hired after school.

    Thank you

    Are you currently in CDL school? Have you filled out a TMC application yet?

    No not yet, I am talking to people at a couple of schools in my area though. The people at both schools say it won't be a problem getting hired by tmc but I wanted to get more opinions (honest) from people on here. :)

    The only way to know if TMC will hire you is to fill out an application, which you can go ahead and do now. They will give you a pre-hire if your application is approved.

    I think as long as you have a clean record they will take you on. I was sort of surprised at how fast I got accepted for orientation because some people had told me that it might take a while to find a company but I have a completely clean driving record no speeding tickets, nothing. They do want 5 years of work history but I don't even know how important that is because I only had 3 verifiable years over the past 5 and they still got me in. This was all with in the course of the week after I finished school too it wasn't like I had been talking to them for months or anything. Recruiter has been helpful for the most part and was willing to communicate via email which made the process easier on me. Just fill out the app on the site and give them a call after a day or two.
