What will DQ me from TMC

I'm not sure about anti-depressants but the company I work for now would not hire with that knowledge, they actually send all applicants to have a sit down with a psychologist before they hire you on. Kind of weird but it is what it is. As for HIPPA yeah that would preclude your doctor form disclosing the information without a court order, the real question is whether or not those kinds of medications would show up on the whiz quiz. I doubt it but if you didn't disclose it and they did you would be shown the door most likely. Interesting question.

 

Newbie, just wanna thank you for your informative posts, letting us know how orientation goes. I just passed my CDL exam today and will be starting with TMC on Oct 5th. So maybe I'll see you there...

 

I appreciate your posts, and the others as well. Yes, I've read many of the posts on here about TMC and other companies. That is part of what helped me decide to choose TMC. I know there are some who are upset with TMC because of the changes they've made, but I think coming into this as newbies, we should be able to adapt more easily because we don't know any other way. Even with the changes being made, they still look like a really good company. I can't wait for next month!

 

Hey newbie and dodge, your making a good choice considering your options...

Yes there has been alot of changes that do not favor the driver but looking around the industry at the other training companies TMC is still better than most to start out with by far!

Keep your nose clean and be professional at orientation and you should not have a problem. Just wanted to wish you guys good luck and hopefully will be seeing you after you get into your own truck...There is a nice shiney Pete waiting for you!

 

Home time was fine, in fact they sent me home more than I wanted. I asked to stay out many times and was routed through the house anyways. In Rockford you are going to see a similar thing, maybe not quite as much. They were blowing smoke up your *bleep**bleep**bleep* at the class, you will need resets. Maybe not every week but often enough. They are anal about the logs, but it's easy to keep up with. Make sure you log your fuel times correct, one of the log ladies has a thing for cross checking fuel times for new drivers. You will get resets whether you need them or not from time to time. I was on mileage, go percentage for the first year assuming you miracle your way through an entire year. Good luck!

 

I agree with this as well,, TMC is still better than most. And also like joecool313 says. act professional as it is a 2 week job interview. All the guys in my class that goofed off or messed around all got canned . I was surprised at how some acted like it was a summer camp or something.
