Good luck to you. I too work for that LTL company you spoke of. (I assume) It may be a time for change. I'm sitting home now with zero work. 9 years with them and I get the daily call. I work out of the Columbia SC barn. The TMC shop is one of my stops, delivering parts and equipment. It does tug at me. Drop me a line if you want and have some time for lunch on a weekend.
That sounds great SpeedLimit. I will be taking my netbook with me to orientation. I turned in my notice yesterday and all the CCM told me was "good luck". This is a man I've played countless rounds of golf with and worked with for 9 years..... I wished him the same and I'm washing my hands of it. Take care of your people and your people will take care of your customers. It works and I hope to find that kind of feeling at TMC.
I'm supposed to go to orientation on the 19th in Iowa. I submitted a address for a parking spot should hear something tommorow. But if I don't i may have to push it back a week.
Just thought I would let everyone know that all training has apparently been suspended at Columbia SC.. Got the call this morning so I will also be going to Des Moines on the 19th.. Would of liked a little more notice but not a big deal. Good luck to everybody and hope to see you there!
Well this is just a guess but I'm thinking TMC will be cutting way back on hiring or freeze hiring all together in the near future. I'm glad we all got in under the wire. The busy season should be just around the corner so I'm not sure what might be going on. Hopefully they just want to keep everybody busy! I personally need to stay as busy as possible over the next 6 months so I hope that is the case BTW I go by Redman... I'll be looking for ya'll!!
cplmac2 I dont have enough posts to pm yet. I'm bringing my notebook. I think my flight is supposed to be there about 3-4 pm tomorrow. Looking forward to it brother!
Me too, I'm driving in since I live less than 5 hours away, I'm gonna try and get their while the sun is up. I'm bringing a laptop as well, see you there!
