Truck Driving Jobs

I am going through Roadmaster now and will hopefully be out at the end of July. I am really interested in driving for TMC. Can any one of the guys employed by TMC tell me whether I would be able to join TMC living in Jacksonville, Fl? I read a previous post where someone mentioned that TMC would not hire him because he lived below a certain interstate. I live about 10-12 minutes away from I-10 in Jacksonville. Sounds like I could run into the same issue.

We are suppose to have a TMC recruiter come out to the school but it will not be until the last week of school. We have been told not to do online apps and to let Roadmasters placement help acquire jobs as they "have connections" to get us employment. The reason I posted on this forum is that I noticed that there are a few supervisors from TMC that post frequently.

Just a wild a$$ guess but maybe Roadmaster gets a kickback for referals?? :wink: Trust me, if you have a CDL and a clean record you can get your own job without any help from Roadmaster. In fact, Roadmaster may be tempted to steer you to the one that pays higher kick-back instead of the company that would be the best fit for you.

i have a friend that went to a school in ft worth. he wasnt going through school for a particular company and they told him not to submit online apps also. they tried hooking him up with PAM and hit him up pretty hard with that several times. he had to break them down and say NO.

You can probably get on with TMC but being South of I-10, you'll probably be out 2 weeks at a time instead of 1 week before TAH
