TMC Drivers

Thank you to all who responded. The information was very helpful. I sent in my app. hopefully they will respond.

 

Man, I am on my third week of training and my trainer is the worst smelling human I have ever met. He's so stinky I have to stick my head out the window sometime. I would ask for a new trainer, but I only have two weeks left. He also smokes like four packs a cigs a day and sounds like he might die at any moment. He gets out of breath eating. I can't wait to get my own truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

..could you possibly tell the other TMC students who might read this post what's his 1st name so they can avoid day 1 with this guy if they get him next?!

 

If he smells that bad, I don't think they will need a name to figure out who he is........

 

Yes please let me know too!!! We have great equipment but our hygiene department is low funded?!!??

 

Kindsoul,

Could you please do all of us trainers at TMC a favor and report his sorry *** to the training dept. asap. There is absolutely no reason at all that a trainee should have to put up with conditions like that. I understand that you only have 2 weeks left with him but is that the memory you want to have of training? There are standards that we have to keep as drivers and even tighter standards as a trainer. I am truly sorry about the conditions that you have had deal with but keeping silent about it will only let that issue continue. Good luck in your endeavor.

 

Yea i had problems with my trainer too. he had a bad atititude and could BARELY speak english. He was a spanish guy that couuldn't go a day with out yelling about something. I remember one time i was driving he jurked the wheel because he though i was coming to close to the solid white line on the highway. I have my own truck now so just be patient and the dream with come.

I guess my luck was good with my trainer, its only been a week now but we get along good, we are close in age 37 39 and have similar interests. Plus I am ok with his truck rules, and he keeps a nice apperance and doesn't smell,,lol. Only bad thing is I have to travel 190 miles to where he is at, as he is closest one near me.

 

..well I didn't think of this before but with all the rules about appearance TMC has how did that guy get under the radar; nobody has any contact with him at terminals or shops, no contact with any of the other drivers at TMC? Is he an owner/operator that makes him less accountable for his appearance or hygiene at TMC?

 

BLACK AND CHROME but Funky Armpits!!
See you at the next orientation!
