My TMC experience.

Thank you for this thread! I fly to Des Moines from Virginia on 9/1 to start Orientation 9/2. I'm nervousness as crap because I left a job of 6 1/2 years to become a truck driver and I was concerned about the orientation deal where you are not "officially hired" but it seems that if I just go do what I'm told and act professionally then I will be fine. Thanks again!

 

You are correct. Any of us can help you out throughout if you need anything. Study up on your general knowledge and all that. There are tests, and it does affect the orientation. And maybe practice lifting some heavier stuff if you're out of shape.

 

I'm good on the heavy lifting! The reason I chose flat bedding was to be more active. The biggest concern I have is making enough money to provide for the family and the inconsistency of the paycheck. I just left a law enforcement career and I appreciate a paramilitary structure with clearly outlined expectations, as petty as they may be... That's why I chose TMC.

 

I think you'll enjoy tmc then.

 

we do taxi service now too?... too funny

 

Gunner, keep this thread going! I am enjoying the read and this seems like good info for people looking at TMC.

 

Gunner your PM's are full.
