Training starting 1 25 2016

Good evening, well after an uneventful day i am here at the baymont getting ready to head to bed so can start this adventure tommorow. I figured i would start this thread so any new guys want to know how it is i will give a daily report. As far as me i am starting from the ground. I start working on my cdl tommorow aftef all the physicals and so fourth. So i will have alot of good info to pass. Stand by tommorow for day 1.

 

Day 1.
Well i made it through day 1 alive lol, wasnt to bad once we got there. Morning started of by hotel breakfast which wasnt that bad. The hotel itself is nice. Then 645 we got on the bus headed to tmc. Once we got there we mustered in the classroom and met the instructor's. They dont seem. Bad a little hard but i that is yomsee what people are made of. So we filled out a bunch of paperwork. While filling the paperwork out they would take us by groups down the street to do physicals and drug screen. Wasnt too bad at least no finget in the butt lmao. Once done with that which took mosy of the morning we headed to back to the yard to do the tarp test. This is what ibwas dreading the most because i didnt know what to expect. Well i passed it. We didnt have anyone in our class get dropped for that. Dont get me wrong it was a challange but the way i see it is if u really want to be here then u will pass this test. So after that we went had lunch tmc provided. Dam they give they give u alot of food. Its not like u here everywhere else where they order 2 large pizzas for a class of 40 and tell u to split it lol. It was actual cooked food. Chicken fried steak to be exact. Then after lunch headed back to classroom more computer time then left for the day at 330. Started snowing pretty bad yesterday as well. So overall a good day. My nerves are little better now lol. Well as inwrite this i am on the bus headed for day 2. Iam in the cdl program so i have to gonget my permit test today. I recommend anyone who is considering a company sponsored cdl to come here. Its not ur typical. 160 class. U will get well more than that drive time, u are training right on equipment you will use on a daily basis. The total program is only 3 weeks, that inculdes securment traing and orientation as well. So instead of going to private school for 5 weeks yhen come tmc for 2 weeks ive only added one extra week to regular program which u cant beat. Also god forbid something happen ubare rrquired to sign a 1 year contract with tmc for going tonyhe school. But if for some reason u dont make it the year ur payback is 2800 prorated for however long u did work. I noticed the megas will charge upwards of 5 to 9k if u dont complete the year.and thats if u do one day or have 5 days lefy on ur contract u owe the whole amount. Tmc is looking like it will be a hine for me for awhile. Dony think i could have picked a better company to work for espically just starting out as well. . Well stay posted for how day 2 goes

 

Lol why j say that
