Goldie's a player. That's why he's got what he's got. He's a d&mn pimp! Bastach! :lol: 8)

I was asked why I left TMC and came back, the reason is simple. I thought I could do better somewhere else. You will find when you get out on the road and get some experience under your belt that jobs kinda fling themselves at you. It is hard not to listen to what some of those recruitors say and think to yourself what if. I moved on to another company, I just wasnt happy. I like TMC, they have great equip. and are consistent. That is what makes TMC the company for me is the fact that they are consistent. The grass sometimes looks greener on the other side but this cowboy wont hop the fence again I promise you that.

OK Fred I can admit when I am wrong, you dont recieve comp. for recruiting I'm sorry.
I have a lot of pics from the road as soon as I figure out how to post them I will. Can anyone help me with that.[/url]

Apology accepted AND appreciated. It takes a great man to admit he's wrong and that's EXACTLY why you ARE TMC material and are successful with us.
PM JBenson2 on here about posting pictures. He's been QUITE successful using a free FLIKR account and the images look GREAT!
Good Luck and Merry Christmas.

I'm glad you guys made up and kissed and all. I can see you as a valuable asset on this board. As a trainer in general and specifically a TMC Trainer. I'll be going out with a trainer on or about Jan 2nd. I'm right in the middle of orientation at TMC on break for the holidays. Any insight you can give will be greatly appreciated.

OOPS :oops: That was my old schedule before I learned they were sending us home for the holidays. I'm due back in DM on Jan 2nd for classes until that Friday then on Monday I should be out with a trainer.

Try Flickr (www.flickr.com) = you can post 200 photos for free. They are owned by Yahoo and will be around for a while.

I've got 2,000 photos posted, so I pay the $25/year fee. If you want to, you can keep private photos on a restricted basis. I prefer to keep my wide open. People can add comments to your photos. You would be surprised how many people from around the world look at them.

Here is a link to my TMC training photos.

JB,
I for one enjoy viewing your pics......keep up the great work!!! :)

JBenson2 may have a career after retiring from trucking as a photojournalist. His pics are AWESOME. Well Done John.

Thanks for the nice comments.

I've got some great photos from this past week. We were stranded in Albuquerque for 24 hours due to the ice and snowstorm. I-40 West and East were shut down.

When the roads opened up again, I caught some amazing wrecks. There was a jack-knifed truck that was bent around so much, the driver could almost read the writing on the back doors of his drybox from his cab!
