    What if you have a year OTR in the same lanes they run, is there a way to get out of going out with a trainer?

    I'm pretty sure they make you still do it but its for like a week or something. If you have flatbed exp. your orientation is like 3 days also.

    So as a new driver with little time behind the wheel they still hire you if you grind them gears,i drove a 10 speed in the Rutherford area in new jersey i got the hang of it but still would of had more time behind the wheel,needless to say alot of down shifting....:biggrin_25512:...all them on and off ramps and some are on such a curve you almost have to go 10mph around them....I am a fast hands on learner so you think i would get hired on as long as i keep my mouth shut and walk my own path and do what they ask..i just want to work and when i do i am in my own zone....i am a jack of all trades master of none welding roofing plumbing framer haz-mat specialist...worked at clean harbors drove stake bodies with bob cat on the trailer through NYC,Sunnyside queens ALONG the BQE...What a nightmare sometimes fly right by Yankee stadium....The Bronx....mid town...even though it was not a semi but it still a learning exp.WOULD I MAKE IT @TMC.....:smt071

    Any TMC guys out of Atlanta out there? I have a pre hire from them and am considering joining them in April. How often are you home out of GA and what is the money like running out of GA?
