Just got approved at TMC

so, after reading all the posts, just a quick question. does TMC not hire you if u've had surgery?

 

I believe that certain surgeries are a problem. I had hernia surgery when I was 7 days old and that was fine. TMC sent Terry Lamar home from orientation in order to get hernia surgery, and when he was healed they welcomed him back. It is just something else to clear with the recruiter during the application process.

 

im just curious because i've had surgery on both my knees, blew them out playing soccer, but they r both repaired and i am back to dirving and loading and unloading my own trailer, and i'd rahter not get into something just o be let go...

 

Day 8 in the books.
Today we started the behind the wheel portion of orientation. At this point we have 18 of 29 students left. We broke down into groups to do yard maneuvers, road driving and more yard maneuvers. Started at 630am and finished at 8pm. Did well today and I'm looking forward to getting out of here. Long day and I'm glad it's over, I think I have at least one more long day coming up.

Superman I wouldn't bother, a couple of the guys who got sent home the first day were sent home for things their recruiters KNEW about. Whats worse is that they were left to find their own ride home.

 

so it's not even worth it huh? figured i'd be good, cause im young, but i guess i'll just look elsewhere, anyone have any ideas???

 

Seems like a few weeks ago TMC was one of the good guys....I guess now they can be put in the ranks of Stevens, Werner, CLE, etc. It's getting more and more clearer that all Companies suck......just my opinion!

 

well i hope every ting will go good for you there a i am kinda mad at TMC my self i put in an app they did not process it for two weeks then thay told me that i was to far north to get hired there and when i asked they told my i was only 2 miles to far north but good luck

 

Day 9 in the books.
Today we did more yard maneuvers, simulator testing and more road driving. It was a pretty simple day with pretty much everyone showing improvement on their day 1 scores which seems to be the main criteria to advance through the school. Tomorrow we do more yard maneuvers, more road driving and drop and hooks. 3 more days and I'm homeward bound.
