I am very interested in TMC, I have heard they are pretty selective about who they hire. Am I going to have a hard time because of my age/experience? I have just left the construction industry (ya, I'm sorry, here comes another carpenter into your profession). I am 48 years old. I have always had a very strong work ethic having been raised on the farm and then working in construction. I realize you can't pick when you work, and the importance of finishing the job well, and regardless of weather, or "circumstances beyond your control".
I have already passed the written tests, and gotten my DOT medical card, and my endorsements (doubles&triples, tankers, and Haze-mat). I plan to take a driving course starting next week.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
My first year at TMC

Your age isn`t an issue to them. If you can do the job that`s all that matters. They hire new drivers with an approved training course. A clean background and DMV is the main thing.
It seems you have been looking for info and researching since 2009 at minimum. I`m guessing you have decided to take the plunge. Family life is the biggest issue for most.
Wherever you go, stick with that company as long as you can. Bigger and better jobs will open up later for those who give it at least a year. I`ve looked around some, but decided to stay. I have no issues here. I could try and do more, but my life is good
Jimmy T Thanks this. -
