    I've been a reader of the Truckers Forum for the past several months & decided to register last night. Brief history: I retired at a young age after a 25 year career in law enforcement and will be making a decision on a second career in the next 7 to 10 days (waiting to see if an offer comes on a position I interviewed for with the County Attorney's Office). Because of a life-long interest in trucking I've spent the last few months researching the industry and the companies on this forum. I want to thank Rawlco, terrylamar and eckz in particular for the answers they've provided to the many questions asked of them. What I learned from them made it easy for me to decide that TMC would be a company I would be proud to work for. I may be starting Driving School here in Omaha on Jan. 7th, and learned today from my TMC recruiter that TMC approved my application and would pre-hire me if I decide to attend school. Again, I just want to thank everyone for the information you provided,
     
    Baack and terrylamar Thank this.

    Trying to stay afloat. It isn't going too well. I'm determined to make it work, though I do have thoughts of going back to TMC.

    How is your new enterprise working out?

    Thanks terrylamar. I was gonna do that later when freight picks up. I have a friend who works for them right now and he wants to team with me down the road. I'll see what happens in the future.

    That sucks, I wonder why just from that area? I am supposed to start on the 29th of Dec. I hope everything still good as I am about to get my airline ticket to Des Monies, I guess I will call to make sure, thanks for the heads up.

    I found out today I'm scheduled for Des Moines on the 29th as well FirNa, assuming I pass the license test on Monday I'll be there. I don't expect any trouble with that so chances are I'll be seeing you in Des Moines in a week and a half.

    Good luck with your test, and yeah I will be there barring any word from TMC. I am not sure if the North East includes South Jersey so maybe I got in just in time as "Desiredname" said they put a freeze on apps from that area. But I see from the new Hiring map TMC has they have part of New York, Maine , Vermont and New Hampshire as being in not hiring zone. I remember before that they were hiring from all 48 states but only highlited the "Home every weekend or LineHaul area.

    Update. I am still good to go on the 29th according to my recruiter. He said its north of Albany NY that they have a hiring freeze. YMMV though.

    cplmac2 hope to see ya there, I'm guessing it will be a packed class too. My name is Larry btw.
