just wondering if anyone with tmc can help me with a few things, first, being a experienced flatbed driver how long does it take to get into a truck when you get into orientation.
do they offer a sign on bonus, and orientation pay?

hotel accomidations, single or shack up with another driver?

securement test i'm sure is a trailer with several types of loads, how many.

As far as I remember:
1 week orientation
either 2, 4 or 6 weeks with a driver trainer. Depends on your demonstrated ability.

For the week in orientation you MAY share a room with another driver or you MAY get your own. If you wish, you can pay a small amount extra to have your OWN room. See here: http://www.goldiesplating.com/flatbe...rientation.htm

No securement "test" in the normal sense of the word. You will be exposed to 4-5 demo trailers in load securement class in Des Moines and allowed to practice on them. See here towards the bottom of the page: http://www.goldiesplating.com/flatbe...rientation.htm

Your driver/trainer decides when you are ready and capable. See here: http://www.goldiesplating.com/flatbedfred/training.htm

Feel free to call or PM me if you have any questions.
