First day training at TMC

Meaning by reporting what you saw onto MY post... Report it to their safety department, not me... And to answer your question, no they dont... Besides driving wasn't what I needed to be taught, as well logging close to 1.5 million miles myself... Just learning the flatbed game...

 

Finished my final day of orientation, last two days were filled with hands on load securement training. I learned to secure lumber ,shotgun and suicide coil, greasy bar, flatbar, pipe and tubing, palletized, insulation, and roofing loads using an assortment of 5/16 chains and snap and ratchet binder setups, and 4" and 2" in straps with a variety of edge protection devices and other devices such as coil racks with mats... I learn best hands on, starting Monday Im out with my driver trainer for two weeks then back up to Des Moines for release on my own...

 

Good luck to you as well

 

Appreciate it, lol

 

Yea... Ought to go by pretty quick... Appreciate it

 

First day with trainer, started kind of slow due to someone stealing his tarp from a Pilot TS in Dallas... Drove to Firestone in Corsicana to pick up a load of insulation going to OKC for morning appt. It was a good long wait at the shipper due to a line of trucks getting there around thevsame time... I secured the load, sign the bills, entered it the qualcomm and I was on my way made my first stop in Dallas to do my load check, then again at a rest area outside Ardmore, OK... Made it to OKC still with time to spare... Had not been for waiting so long at shipper, I could've made it before the closing time..... We'll see how tomorrow goes..
