    Hey guys, I need help! I went to school last year and graduated in March 2008, best in class:yes2557:. I did not however end up quitting my current job, that I have had for the past 15 years. Now I am thinking that I should! :biggrin_2551: I have never been in trouble with the law or with drinking or drugs. I was going to start with TMC back in March but really just chickened out! :biggrin_2552: I am hoping to get some feedback from anyone who cares to respond on what you think of TMC or have heard about TMC. Hopefully I could get in touch with some current drivers too! :biggrin_25515:
    Thanks for your time and be safe!!

    Go for it, Ive been at my current job for 10 yrs now, and this upcoming spring im heading back to school for my Class A and then applying first with TMC. I get thoughts here and there if its the right thing to do, but we all get nervous about new things. Ive researched them alot and they seem to be on the up and up and decent pay for newbies. Go with your gut and do it, only way to find out.......

    Make sure you commit yourself. It is more than a job change, it is a lifestyle change. don't go into it half assed. Be confident in yourself and attack it head on. I don't regret it at all.I talk to alot of different flatbed drivers at the shippers and truck stops and am convinced I made the right choice in TMC.

    Thanks for the tip on the link. I have browsed through it and will continue to do so. All the information I can get, the better. When I went to school I applied myself and was real confident but now I am second guessing myself because it has been since March that I have driven a truck. I assume it will all come back when I start driving again?!?! I heard that I will have to go get a "refresher" before I can start with TMC. Have you heard about that?

    I would have to say that I am the most dedicated person that I know. I have been employed with the same company since I graduated high school. I do not know the word, half ###. I understand about the lifestyle change, that is why I did not rush into quitting my job and starting the driving. I am still trying to prepare my family and myself for the change. I just wanna have all my peas in a pod before I go for it!

    TMC took me with 6 months between driving school and orientation without needing a refresher. I was warned that if I needed it I would be sent for a refresher. 9 months may be too long though so you will have to check with a recruiter on that.
