My first year at TMC

Great Post Linte_Loco. I'll be graduating CDL school mid July and am really considering TMC. I really want to get on with a solid, reputable company that's selective, and looks for hard working safety minded drivers. I feel I could excel with TMC. I've enjoyed reading the post regarding TMC. Seems like a good choice. I'm also considering Maverick and Crete however TMC appears to be the best option thus far.

I'm a bit nervous about graduating the TMC program in October however. Fresh out of school I'll shortly be into winter driving. I'm confident in my driving and equipment capabilities ... just not sure what to expect winter driving if graduating so close to the winter months. I'll be in CDL school until mid July and if I go with TMC I'll start in August/Sept. Any advice you can provide a newbie regarding winter driving? Thanks

 

TMC is a very good company to start your career with.. Ive had the privalage to work with them in my early years of driving and they are good to there drivers.. I think your making a wise decision in your choice...

 

62? they got them truckes turned down to 62 that is terible. why do companies turn their trucks down so far and can you have it turned up by a mechanic friend or do they have the #### passworded comps on board

 

It dont have anything to do with your making money. They do it for safety and to safe fuel. Theres no reason for 80,000lbs to be going 70 mph. Im not starting anything, Im just saying.
Oh, you dont want to be the guy that gets caught friggen with one of their trucks.

 

I haul a 62000 lb forklift everyday at 70 no big deal i gross 100 k

 

Cool. Rock on.

 

Its actually mostly done for insurance purposes. They get insurance cuts for going 65 and more for 62
