    I realized that after about the first 15 seconds in speaking with the training coordinator.

    I tried to get everything done but some things just didn't fall into place for me. I had just quit working with another flatbed company the week before. I dropped my glasses and scratched them up pretty bad making driving at night nearly impossible - that was the big thing I needed to get done. I got home sunday, slept most of monday and tuesday, then on wednesday started talking with TMC about coming on board with them. I only had 2 days to get new glasses. Mostly my fault, but a lesson learned about recruiters, and being prepared.

    Let's get away from the bickering for a minute now, and let me say that I just met mossyoakman a little bit ago. He's a good dude. Kind of a pompous turd, but hey, TMC employee material. You know.... LOL. J/K, Nathan. Good to meet you, brother. It's gonna be a fun week. :)

    Eh, I'm not bickering Catfish. Just giving a little explanation into my mistake and a heads up to future prospects, which I'm sure most everyone should know not to trust a recruiter.
