Just be honest. They're really looking for someone who's willing to follow the rules. If your the type that has issues with authority or having...
I know I'm a little behind here, but TMC policy is no unauthorized riders period; to include family, friends, hitchhikers, other drivers or ladies...
That's what the instructors are. Perhaps I over generalized there. By office folk I meant anyone who is not currently a driver.
I don't know of anyone who is treated that way. From my experience the office folk are too timid. They won't come right out and tell you if you...
As far as training goes, they won't let you do that unless your record with tmc is clean. If you have tickets or accidents, you can kiss that idea...
What each load pays has a big part to do with it also. Certain areas, like the deep south, generally have low paying freight. You can do...
JD in Ankeny will do that on the rare occasion that the trlr isn't preloaded.
I'll second that. Tarping stations are usually a pain. In my experience, they're more to protect the shipper from a lawsuit than to protect the...
Securement is pretty common sense, but it is very important. I drive for TMC, and I was impressed with their training program overall. I came in...

Hey, I'll be there Monday also. Where are you coming from?
The TMC website says that you have to start process for HazMat, TWIC, and passport within a month of getting your truck. How much oversize work...
No, I did not get my info from a recruiter. I actually lived it. I hate to tell you, but screwing a driver on the way out is perfectly in line...
BTW, thanks to everyone on here who gave me tips and insight into TMC. I got the word today, I start orientation on Monday.
Actually that name does sound real familiar. I left the stumps in early '09 so its been a while since I've heard from anyone out that way....
So now that that is settled, can we talk about trucks again? :biggrin_2552:
