<p>[QUOTE="cdr, post: 160497, member: 5396"]for all you new drivers considering tmc, please pay attention to the posts on this forum. tmc is a hard co. to work for. they are too strict and do not practice what they preach. for example, in orientation they stressed safety, safety, safety, but in the field it was totally different. a couple of loads that should have been x-strapped were not. when i asked my trainer about it, i was told not to worry about it and that it would be all right. no pre-trip was ever done, and log books were never legal. they also told me my trainer would be home every weekend......wrong! the only weekend i was home was the weekend after i left him in houston, texas. he was a jerk, and treated me like dirt. if my strap didn't go directly across the middle on the first throw, i got chewed on. i had never tarped a load before, and on my first attempt, treated with much bad attitude because i didn't know how. i could go on and on about the crap i endured in a short three weeks, but there is not enough room. turbo, if you see this post, i'm sorry i didn't listen to your advice. this experience has basically turned me against trucking. if this is what it is supposed to be, i want nothing to do with it!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25510.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25510:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
