Your pay during your training period is based on what your trainer makes. So, you make more training then they say it dips off a little until you get in the grove and get faster.
Two weeks in and I'm very happy.

The training program is good I think. I'm about 2 weeks in with 2 more to go. Then after you get certified to go on your own they send you to Houston 4 days for corporate orientation. Originally Posted by nsxman2001

I finally found some time to go to the DMV to get my hazmat, tanker, and doubles/triples. Two weeks later I land a job with Trimac Transportation hauling cryogenic liquid. Good sign on bonus, good salary, good benefits... finally.
I'm a week into it and I really like it so far. I plan on putting many years in with the company. Any of Trimac drivers here than can give me their experiences with the company?
