Job history requirements?

I usually talk to at least one if not more TMC guys whenever I pick up in Lynchburg, VA and just from what I've heard some of the guys say they get hung out for weeks at a time. And some attribute that to TMC expecting a driver to make an 800 mile run in 11 hours with a truck that runs 62. But you know it's all hearsay, some guys will go 20 years no problem, some will go 20 years then get so ticked about the way things are going and quit, some with go a week and quit. I've heard every kind of description of the company and overall I've heard more bad than good.

 

Good reply riverrat, this is the information newbe's need to read. Thanks

 

I don't mean to be a downer but, your husband"s work history sounds kinda spotty. This is a red flag for any company. If he has changed jobs a lot recently doesn't give them a feeling that he will stick with them for long. I am 48 years old and have only held 2 different jobs. The first job I started at 18 and lasted 26 years until the plant closed. The second job is the one I have now. Employers look for consistancy. Like I said before, If you have had a lot of jobs, it will be a negative particularly in the trucking industry.

If your husband just got his CDL and has found a company willing to invest in training him, I would advise to stay with them for a minimum of a year. Job jumping with no experience wont get you far and most likely will not get you into TMC.

Good luck.
