CDL Training @ TMC

Has anyone out there been through TMC's CDL training? Not the New Graduate Orientation, but the actual no experience CDL training. I am contemplating making a decision if I receive an offer from them.

 

Thx for the response Buckeye!

My recruiter gave me the basic run down on the flow of training. She said 2 weeks for initial CDL, then start 2 week company orientation then start on the road training which is 4-5 weeks.

The 2 weeks CDL training is unpaid (which I am fine with and prepared for)
Orientation and on the road training is paid $500 per week
1st 2 weeks in your own truck is guaranteed $1000 per week

Is all of that pretty accurate? (I am sure that depends on what stage of the program you are in at the moment)

Are the $500/wk and $1000/wk GROSS? I am assuming they are.

Finally, I read on the TMC website that you don't get your first check until 2 wks after starting orientation. Is this the case? Just trying to budget my finances and such.

Also, how was the training generally? Living accommodations during CDL training and Orientation?

 

Thanks for the info! Sounds exciting for sure and I am glad to hear that the instructors are great. Where are you in the process? On the road or still in class?

I knew they put you up in the company hotel, but I am curious...do you share a room with another student? Not a big deal if thats the case, but just curious. These days with all the craziness, you never know who you might get paired up with!

Finally...when did you receive your first paycheck? Trying to budget for paying bills and such. I understand that 1st 3 weeks is unpaid, but then did you get paid at the end of the 4th week?

Thanks again for the info, much appreciated!

 

Thanks again for the info. I am working on my permit here in MD before I come out. My recruiter told me to make sure I get that done before training.

Good luck on the road, let me know how it goes!

 

Puppage...its not...I was not chosen by the hiring committee. My recruiter told me that they went with other better qualified applicants. Not sure what that means considering I was doing their CDL program. I am researching some other companies now....Maverick and Roehl are on the short list.
