    Milskired, I'm glad you dropped in on this thread. This just doesnt even sound right??

    DropDeck, you already had the tarp ON the trailer, AND had carried it half the length of the trailer, all the while the "man" is saying "good job???" Then they say, nope!! Go home!!!

    I'd take a beating to come work for TMC, but, WTF???

    DropDeck I told you to go to PGT this BS would have never happened. It sounds like the same type of BS TMC gave me when they sent me home for having concussions 4 years prior while I was in the military. TMC is BULL$H!!!

    I don`t remember a "therapist" or whatever there during that part of training. So I`m guessing there is a reason for it.

    I refuse to speculate :biggrin_25524:

    I did the complete tarp test. Pick the tarp up from the ground .carry it on my shoulder to half way . Lay it on the trailer. Jump up on the trailer .pick up the tarp, toss it on top the coil. Roll it off the other side of the coil. Walk to the end of the trailer climb down.go back get the tarp take it back the the rear of the trailer for the next. Not once did I struggle with the tarp.

    When I got called in to Todd office. He said that the physical therapist recommend that TMC not hire me . Because I hyper extend back while lifting . I seen the fourm filled out by the therapist. I ask if I could retake the test. Was told no, not at this time.

    Now that I am home not sure if I want to re apply and go back in ten days. Total of 37 hours on a bus.3 days with out income. Out of a 10 year job ( did not want to be there any ways ) and now unemployed . All because of a physical therapist that looks like he hangs out at the pickle park .

    I talk to maverick today and a few others. Not sure were to go from here. What would you guys do?

    Man that sounds weird. When i went thru student orentation 11/2010 there was no therapist (of any sorts) there. Nate did tell us use your legs not your back but i remember a couple using there back and they made it. And while you need to be able to lift a lumber tarp i have the guy on the forklift loading/unloading me lift it 95% of the time.

    If your saying the classes looked smaller maybe their turnover rate is going down. We had about 45 first day people in the student class. Now only 15 went to our trainers and a year later i think 5 or 6 of us are left.

    Either way im sorry you got a bus ticket home, that really sucks.

    I think with the recent holidays might have something to do with the small class. I never heard one person say stay off the grass. Witch don't bother me I don't walk on other people grass anyways. Alot of people think TMC is strick.don't get me wrong some of use instructors can be smart app but I have never seen so many grown men act like kids before. I was in the experienced class you would not believe some of the questions the guys were asking. They deserve a smart ### answer.

    They say to stay off the grass, just so everybody knows this and does not talk **** about TMC for it is because the owner of TMC spends over a million a year in landscaping. If you have ever been here and have seen how big this place is and how nice the landscape actually is you would see that its not BS.
