First day training at TMC

I had my CDL for 12 years, just stepping over from the van side... And playing with skateboards now

 

I didn't get a hair folical test.... Only a urine sample

 

Its just like anyother DOT physical I've done with any other company Ive driven for.... I only seen a couple cats get sent home for failed drug test... I didn't even do a hair folical test... I've heard of one of the newbies not being able to drive the truck or physically be able to carry tarps...

 

It is true recruiters say anything, I say just go in with an open mind and not expect what your recruiter told you.... Now they are a decent starter company. I've been in the industry 12 years and worked for 3 other companies... The benefits are good, the pay is lucrative ,but it's a matter of getting with the right fleet manager that won't only keep his trainers running.... Im running, and average $3700 of revenue to the truck... delays at shippers and consignees (especially if at a job site) will be your crutch... expect hard work, have a flexible schedule, be willing to come out the house on Sunday afternoon, depending on your load requirement. Stay off the grass at the facilities.... The big plus is weekly hometime... They tell you working two weeks will increase your revenue, I have yet to see that... Many times I was on track to get 4400+ and a delay at shipper on a Wednesday evening caused me to arrive a couple hours late Thursday morning and the consignee refused to accept load and made me wait til Friday morning.... An entire day of waiting... They do rent the car, reimburse for fuel and toll, put you up in their on site Baymont motel, which is nice by the way, feed you lunch. First few are definitely gonna suck, but once you get things down, it will be consistent... Up until week of your service...
