Hi, I applied and they called me and only wanted to find out information about my last jobs. Then they sent me an email with information about the company and that was all. How many days does it take to schedule the orientation?
@joan_ltv7107 I waited around 2 weeks and then it went pretty quick. Be patient. Most importantly understand what you are signing up for. I have been with the company for 4.5 years. If you have questions I'm here.
Thanks! I have my orientation scheduled on Oct 7, 2024 😩 kinda nervous over the tarp, I havent been active in a few weeks since I been focusing on CDL school. Will sure start getting active before going to Orientation.
You got this bro. It helps to be in shape but it's more important to be attentive on how he demonstrates the lift technique. Cause you may be able to get the tarp over your shoulder, but the technique you used may cost you if not done in the instructed standard. Try to mimic as much as possible and try not to show much struggle. Good luck 👍🏾
They tell you "If you know you will have problems with the drug test, just walk away...don't come back, it won't even count as a refusal." I can't believe how many people still go and take the test, "hoping to somehow pass", but that is what being on drugs does.
My experience with tmc orientation is more ppl got fired on their day off then actually being at the orientation. No alcohol, going out and drinking, no having fun period or you’re going home, simple. And if u have long hair put it in a style where it don’t come pass ur collar
What you see in the video has no correlation to anything to what I was saying lol but the test is just you climbing up a ladder that's about 14 feet using proper contact and standing straight up when you get to the top without looking like you have a phobia or something.
@Georgia_Rob yeah I was in Tennessee the boat dealer was out in the woods I was going down a two lane road when I drove up to a spot where it broke off in 5 different directions my GPS went crazy I didn't want to get my equipment or load in a bad situation and make things worst I knew I was close to the dealership so called them up and asked for assistance the guy was a jerk on the phone and couldn't articulate directions clearly I asked him if could drive down and escort me in and he hung up on me called TMC and said I was arguing with him so because of that I was fired for insubordination.
so its a piss test and not fair follicle (ive been clean for a few months now and the hair follicle test is currently my cryptonite) Ive heard it goes back anywhere from 3-6months :(
No disrespect, but it’s the real world. TMC will make sure that you know what you’re doing as far as securement and the right way to do it very very very many. Do not give a damn and will set you up for failure if you wear a flip-flops and don’t give a damn about appearance and have no common , sense and no work ethic flatbed is definitely not what you want to venture into not to mention possibly even the trucking industry since it’s overflowing with dumb ass people now I guess what if you can’t show him that you have what it takes to do the job they’re not gonna coddle you and put you on top of the head and give you a cookie you have to earn it.
@RoyceAubuchon not sure bout termination. But they do have signs in some areas of their facility to keep off the grass. So it's probably best you do just that to avoid any conflict.
Yea. But you gotta remember this isn't dry van where you're just driving. With flatbed, you're doing a lot of physical work such as tarping, climbing, and strapping on the freight securely. So they want you to be fully capable of going out solo and doing these loads without a problem. I kinda get it, but I'm just not with them having someone travel to Iowa or South Carolina with the false hope of getting trained and having a future job guaranteed. It can be a really big waste of time if you're not what TMC wants you to be.
Thank you for the intel my friend, I truly appreciate it.
Not a problem my man. Hope you have a successful future!
Thanks for the needed information. I have orientation scheduled on Oct 7, 2024. Good luck with your future journey
No problem at all. Good luck with yours as well.
How driving with the trainer?

@@finitefibonacci Thanks for the information. I think it's a good company and I want to work for them, but we'll see what happens.

I'll be there on the 7th as well
Good luck and be safe.
@@AirSoftKidzhow is orientation? I going the 14th
Been there done that and drove for them for 2years. Thank God my driver trainer was. 6 weeks is a long time.

No ones passing the hair follicle test there.
@@katherinewett1563I thought it was urine test

Sounds pretty accurate
In the video you have a fire truck ladder and then a ladder with a barrier around it. What exactly is this ladder test? Thanks.
What you see in the video has no correlation to anything to what I was saying lol but the test is just you climbing up a ladder that's about 14 feet using proper contact and standing straight up when you get to the top without looking like you have a phobia or something.
OK cool. Not sure why the fire truck ladder then but thanks for answering.
Right or wrong! Thanks for the information!

math test say what bro flatbedder for 8 years height heights 13 ft is as hi as im comfortable climbing
Damn it feels good to be a gangster 😎
Whats the story about not walking on the grass or you're fired?

@TheFlex53 the recruiter that came to our school was extremely cocky lol
You are hilarious bruh
Wish me luck
No need. You got this bro. 💪🏾
Sounds like a lot of bs just to drive a truck
