TMC is also partner of the school. I would like to get with them, but I have heard they can be picky about job history, which is a tough one for me.
Time to start applying?

Lumper Humper, Selva and G13Tomcat Thank this. -
My discharge date from the USMC was Nov 1994, but I initially put June 1994. I went back and corrected it, but it was too late. I guess the pre-adverse action letter was already in the works. They never told me specifically what the problem was because they cut off communication, so I’m assuming that’s what it was.
“Thank you for your service...now piss off!”
There was a guy in my class at school who tried to get hired by TMC, but one of his former employers couldn’t/wouldn’t provide a copy of his W2, so he wasn’t hired.Selva Thanks this. -

One way to request your employment history or provide it to prospective employers is through Equifax, on a site called The Work Number.
It seems to be easy enough - open an account by answering a few simple questions. Request an Employment Data Report. Totally free.Speed_Drums and DustyRoad Thank this. -
Also, last night during my lunch break I filled out a form on another big trucking site and this morning I was awakened by a call from a recruiter, then I opened up my email inbox and found messages from 4 different megas.
So I guess companies are at least looking for new drivers now. That's good news.Lumper Humper and G13Tomcat Thank this. -
Be advised, they are looking for drivers because of high turnover. Sometimes they dangle a carrot to get drivers to jump on board and then they tie your hands to a steering wheel.
C.P.M. at .55 sounds good until you find out the average lenght of haul is 600 miles every two days. 2100 per week.
The other guy may pay .50 cents per mile and average haul is 450 per day. 3150 per week.
$ 1,155.00 verses $1575.00 Gross per week.
You can then ask the right questions to negotiate what is better for you.
The thing is, do you want to stay out 3 weeks and make the same as staying out 4 weeks. How you make the big money is up to you.
I always found the first week out from home time was starting over...and it took at last three weeks to make $ 4,500.00 on average per month. If I stayed out longer...4 weeks I was grossing $ 6,000.00 per month. That is roughly $70,000.00 annually.
EZ Money!Selva Thanks this.
