Passed TMC's 3-week CDL orient, today I head out for OTR training

I am still going to go with tmc after the first of year so all holidays are done cause want to be here with kids and wife for that just hope the licence thing doesn't #### it up but it shouldn't I dont think at least they haven't said it would. Have really been trying get on with tmc for over a year but couldn't get in there cdl program but now I can so hope all will still be good to go

 

@Bandit2408 I hope you enjoy it as much as I currently am, I'm ending week 1 this week and after a fopa from my DMV that had me flying back to NC to correct, the instructors are all there for me, one came in today on his "off" day to help me learn the basics of yard maneuvers that my classmates did while I was going home.
Great instructors, great way of teaching!

 

That is good to hear which training place are u at Columbia or des Moines? Ready to go now but like said dont want to miss holidays since so close know wouldn't be chance to be home

 

I'm in Des Moines, from what I hear they're sending all brand new students to Des Moines.

Just spent 3.5 hrs doing yard maneuvers, man I need help with backing, I wonder all over the place haha

 

Ok I am really looking forward to learning a new trade would rather be getting out the truck doing stuff then sitting in it

 

I made 1k each week

 

Was that with TMC? If so, the recruiters need to up their game. I was specifically told, in an email that I would receive $500 per week through both phases of training(school and mentoring).

 

@Southern Dad new CDL program students get $500 a week.. experienced drivers with their CDL license gets $1000 and take a shortened class

 

Okay, makes sense. So my math and post was correct. In my case, and the OP’s it would be $500 per week.
