First day training at TMC

Is there a time limit. Like do u have to do it in under 2 min or something. What do u do. Pick it up off ground and put on ur shoulder then on trailer or what. How many chances u get

 

You have to put 120lbs over your head? I heard it was 80lbs.

 

I hate to load out of a steel shop on Mondays.

 

Back in my day they showed you how they wanted it done. They did not have a time limit. And you had to put the tarp over your head on a steel coil. Using a lumber tarp.

 

Shippers and receivers are like the cops. Its their way or no way. Arguing with them doesn't do anything but A. Banned from location B. Fired from your company as in your past trainers case C. Buying yourself some more waiting time

 

Ugh, Rotan...the "Dust Bowl", I call it. Hated that place. Still shivers me to think about it. But there's several places you'll find that out, tucked off in the far-flung pockets back behind God's nowhere, just out there for no reason. (National Gypsum in Pryor OK and that bentonite plant up in Lovell WY are two other places you may or may not get the "pleasure" of dealing with...haha.)

That's one of the interesting things about trucking...all the places you'll find that Daniel Boone probably never even knew about, yet somehow TMC found them. Like "why do these places even exist?" Haha...

Hope you're having some sort of fun out there!

 

Is the training that hard and what's the length of training also what's the length with a trainer
