Hey every one, Paul here, im starting out at the SC tmc training facility monday july 9th. I was working for a Toyota dealership and i did the checking over the cars when they were unloaded from the car haulers, started talking too the drivers and decided too get a cdl and start driving a car hauler. Little did i know that that company's like that require 2 years OTR experience, so there i was with a cdl and no where too go, so to speak. So here i am Just got my cdl last month and this looked like the best company around so im jumping on. Can any one tell me what too expect in the next few months. I know its going too be tuff at the start but i have a good attitude and im smart, or so i have been told

, so im hoping for the best.

Good luck to you!

Having TMC on your resume is a definite advantage. It will be tough but stick it out and get whatever amount of experience you need, then move on and never look back.

In my opinion, one should never look at a company as a stepping stone. You should look at a company as a possible new company to stick with! Don't get that job hopper mentality. Thats just my 2 cents!

Yes I do know something you don't. I used to work there. So did flatbed fred. Take mine and his experience and you will figure it out.

I am only downing TMC as a place to stay at. Their training program is top notch.

Yes I do consider them as a stepping stone, as should any other driver with common sense.

Not trying to be rude but, that is a poor attitude! On the other hand, you are entitled to your opinion.

I agree on the poor attitude but after you are at TMC long enough you will have the same attitude.

Use Fred as the example. Who on here had a better attitude than him?
Enough said.....

Paul, there is a huge thread on here about TMC, if you read it it may help you. You will find that there are a lot of different experiances. My hubby just started working for TMC. In fact he is on his way to Indiana to pick up his truck as I type this. All I can say is so far so good. He went through a week of oriantation and 2 weeks with a trainer. He said he thinks he will like it. You will find that there are a lot of drivers on here that like TMC, and also a lot that do not. You really wont know till you work for them yourself. I wish you good luck, and stay safe out there.
