    So I'm trying to get on with TMC right now they are doing there background stuff on me. I hopefully will get chosen and I test out on the 13th of this month for my CDL and hoping to start right after that. Just wondering if there are any trainers on here near Salina so I can hopefully get one in order to get home and check my mail weekly. Also if you know how's the freight around Kansas any money or should I plan on relocating my mail in order to make a decent check.

    I can't offer advice on TMC, but if you want to do flatbed and be closer to home - you may check out Kiem TS. I believe they are based out of Sabetha, KS.

    TMC pulls quite a few loads out of Compass Minerals in Lyons (salt) and I've seen them loading pvc pipe at North American Specialties in McPherson. Not sure about trainers but I see them on a regular basis around Salina loading.

    Yeah I want to flatbed in school we got a couple vans a tanker and a flatbed we drive and I prefer the flatbed I will check out that other one I am really interested in TMC due to the home time they offer I got 3 little ones at the house they are used to me being gone for work but not two and three weeks gone.

    I live in Kansas, freight coming out of here isn't great but you're in a good central location which should get you well paying loads. I've met a trainer out of manhattan and there is at least one in Wichita so hopefully you'll find someone close to you who actually goes home on the weekends, a lot of trainers stay out when they have someone with them.

    Well I applied with Kim today about a half hour ago and the recruiter called me within ten minutes and that seemed pretty solid to me told me to just make sure I had a vehicle at the yard to take home in case they couldn't find a load for Monday to take me towards the house seems fair enough drive 2.5 hours in my POV and I will get home.

    I'm two hours east of the yard in Kansas just told me to leave a car at the yard in case they didn't have a load heading east seemed fair to me I got myself a job three weeks before I even graduate from school so I'm happy still going to get on with TMC though really want to drive that pretty Peterbilt but then Kenworths they got are pretty sexy also!

    What's sexy is the company that fits you better, gets you home when you want, and pays you the most. A truck is a tool.
