Questions for current/former TMC drivers

Hey everyone!

I've been floatin around on here a couple weeks and been reading everything on TMC. Ever since I first saw a TMC truck I have wanted to drive for them. I started driving locally for my families company when I turned 18 while going to school. Last year I moved away to pursue a career in the field I was studying. Well now I will be 23 in a few months and I really want to get back in a truck and give OTR a try before going back local with the family! So here's a few questions:

As far as the driving record goes, how far back do they look for speeding tickets? When I was younger and stupid I got a few right in a row and then about 2 years ago I got 2 more. One in my truck.

Are there any drivers here from Iowa?? I live about 1.5 hrs from DM. Is there a better chance for weekend hometime being from Iowa? I don't care about that though, as I would probably just hit up the parents house when in town, and I don't have a wife or kids to get home to!

Any other helpful info would be great!

Thanks in advance,
BJ

 

Do you know if that's just in like the past 3-5 years like some others? or is that no matter what?

 

Had my parents pull my record. Got 3 in the last 5 years with the earliest one dropping off this year! My original plan was to go back to work for my parents through this next winter then try to get on. If they wouldn't count my recent experience as good enough there is a truck driving school in the town next to mine that I could attend

 

Hey bs64507,

How do you like dedicated, and what exactly does it entail? I for sure want to get on with TMC but not sure which to do, line haul or dedicated! Flatbed has always had my attention and I think it'd be an awesome experience
