TMC

As a driver with TMC for nearly a year and a half I can say that TMC is a GREAT choice. Sorry I missed this thread earlier.

 

I just finished my orientation yesterday and go out with a trainer tomorrow. I had a great experience at TMC training center in Des Moines. I got the Award of Excellence Plaque in my class. I am very glad I decided on TMC for my first driving job. Just make sure you are 100% sure that you want to work for TMC and be ready to put fourth 110% to get that job. The 12 days that you are in orientation is an interview period. You are always being evaluated. They know what they want in a driver and if you dont fit that criteria they send you home. Good luck on your decision.

 

Sabre, any thing specific they look for? Anything weird? I'm going to Columbia SC in bout 2 weeks so I want to know what I'm getting into.

Thanks.

 

During orientation you are being tested. There are straight tests like you took in CDL school, and there are patience tests when you have to wait for something, there are tests to see if you can show up on time, and tests for how well you follow rules. The key is to keep a good attitude.

 

i worked for them when i got out of the military they r a good company to start with.the only advise i can give u that start out as reigonal and that way u can do long hall when u want and to start out as milage then after a couple of months go to a % driver. they r stricked but it is only with the way u keep up the truck and ALL SAFTY MATTERS.

 

Where is terry at? Deep down I know he wants to paint his truck a maroon color!

 

I loaded next to a Maverick truck this past week, actually there were several Maverick trucks there at the same time, I just can't seem to get my truck clean now and the smell..............

 

i was loading a coil in darlington next to a maveric driver and that son of a ***** let his bar go while tightning a binder and dang near hit me in the head at that time he was a newbe (couple yrs ago)

 

Yeah that road grime from running can be tough to clean. Those black trucks are so nice looking from being (on line 4) 50 hours a week rubbing and polishing on them.....
