    Time quality management. It's too assist the driver on ways of maximizing their clocks to minimize their sitting time. This way you can make your drops on time. You also get points towards your snap shot with competing the class

    Are you guys assigned to one trailer or do you drop and pick up a different one at some point? I found it odd when the recruiter told me that TMC doesn't work out of terminals.

    They do drop and hook stuff, depends on where your picking up. They have dedicated stuff all over for home depot and Lowes and those are drop and hook loads.

    I've made several pick ups at Lowe's and menards, and never dropped and hooked. Always live loaded

    Menards I always live loaded but HD and Lowes was always drop and hook for me. Especially if you go to the HD distribution in ST Louis.

    Is this a class that you have to be with the company for a certain period of time before it is offered? Are there other classes that can help give you points towards your snap shot as well?

    I'm told that they want you to take the class within 6 months, but I'm trying to get in on the next one which is in November.


    I believe this is the only class that doors that

    Ah okay. I will be bouncing around if I want to do be driving van or flatbed over the next few months before I head off to the school. Right now TMC is atop the flatbed list.

    I seen a truck going through my area yesterday, do you guys have a lot of freight in the SE? (Savannah, Georgia area)
