I don't care how old these videos are. They are very informative. Thank you and the rest of the other TMC drivers that VLOG, and post their experiences. I'll be coming to TMC in about two weeks. I used my GI Bill for Trucking School and got all my endorsements, US Passport, and TWIC card. This is my first Truck Driving job, but I've been driving Commerical for about 15 years as a Bus Operator. I'm looking forward to a rewarding trucking career, and I know I'm making a great choice by coming to TMC. See yous soon.
Do you have any female drivers? This is by far the best company training that I have researched so far. I don't mind getting dirty and this looks promising. Drive safe!
@@robertkiell what are u saying ...they wont pay you to keep your truck clean? I kinda feel like they shouldn't have to pay extra to a driver to keep the equipment clean. Are other companies paying for that?
@@bebemisterio4813 no I had issues with the pre trip part of the class a test at the school I went to but passed my class B test so I’m local class B right now but looking at going back to school for my class A
@chenderson2013 how sad to hear that but yeah dont give up you will do it i do have my A license bit cant find a job everyones requiered experience but only few companies will give the oportunities
Yea same. Good training in Des Moines. Trainer I had was an absolute joke. Used me for labor and didn’t teach me very much. Company was short on trainers and couldn’t help me out.
I can see we still park window to window. I hate that. I've been known to move forwards or backwards, just not to see the people next to me. Wrap around cab curtains, I love them. Hello from an ex Shrewsbury resident.
I'm excited to hear you're enjoying it and had a great trainer. I had Les Cassidy, whom I informed I was sick 1 day,, and also our dispatcher named John I told as well. Les Cassidy sent a message stating I I just didn't want to drive and I asked them why'd I take a driver's job if I didn't want to drive. I was fired while on home time.😢
Talking to a tmc recruiter Friday gotta get my cdl permit and that money stashed up but will be hopefully joining TMC soon. So happy I found this video thanks for the info. Hope I get a good trainer like you haha
I am really excited about my orientation and training beginning in a week. Thanks for all of the encouragement and shared info about what to expect. I like that you feel TMC provides some of the best, if not THE best, training in the industry. I love being the best at everything. Marine Corps driven. (The only reason the job didn't get done and done well is because you didn't ask a Marine to do it.) And, I like the fact that you see the company as family. Those two things have always been a part of my life; Family and Being at your very best all of the time. You guys stay safe and keep the cool videos coming. Peace.
I'll be coming next Monday doing orientation then 2 weeks with a trainer. You seem like a cool dude hope I get you or someone like you for my two weeks on the road
Long ago, I knew Harold from Sprint car racing. Before school but they took students. Great company then T-600 KW and now. If you want flat bed, TMC is the best. That maroon company, Well they're just maverick or meltons 🤣 Work smart, safe and hard. You'll be rewarded
Hi Axel, I'm graduating from CDL training soon and I met a TMC recruiter. I currently live in FL, however, I'll be moving to New England (ME or VT), in 2023. TMC told me they need drivers in the New England market. Will it be easy to transfer from the South up to New England with TMC? Are there consistent loads for New England TMC drivers year-round? I'm impressed with TMC so far, I'm excited to come on board if this transition from FL to NE will be smooth. I hope to stay with TMC for at least 3 years.
Just subscribed to your channel, glad I ran across your channel. I don’t have a beard, will I fit in? (Joking) I go to orientation next month in SC. Safe travels!
Hi, I am about to get my CDL. I am a Veteran from the Army. I was considering this company, possibly Cypress, but definitely flatbed. Is Des Moines the only training facility?
Hey como estamos yo estoy recién graduado pero necesito a alguien como tú con toda esa experiencia y sabiduría que tienes para poder ser un buen trokero bendiciones y que esté muy bien
I want to know what is going on with the manuel truck that is what i love and alot of mega carrier are going automatic I am like ok why manuel truck you have more traction and you have more stopping distance and if you are sleepy automatic is not it because you are to relax manuel keep me on my toes and it is the best of the best for going up and down the mountain
Does TMC still do the CDL training program? It doesn’t seem like money people do it and pay for truck school. I would rather get paid to get my CDL with TMC
Hi are you an instructor in Iowa my friend is applying he understand and speaks some English but I was wondering if there any Spanish speaking instructors to help
What's going on my man....? Are you still training with TMC....?? If so....Would like for you to be my trainer....Name is Lavier L Holman from New Jersey
Are you still with TMC ? I filled out the Application and a Recruiter named Mike sent me back an Email telling me he got it and left his phone number and I can’t get ahold of him ? Can you help me out. ? I want to come to TMC 💯 I live in East Tennessee..
I'll be done with truck driving school in 3 weeks. A recruiter came in to TDDS school in ohio and I put a application in the same day. Fingers crossed 🤞
If I remember correctly the pay during the training on the yard is 500 during the three weeks what is the usual pay for on the road training is it 500-600 or more?
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 okay cool I'm home to get my permit tomorrow and gonna apply for TMC hopefully be driving here soon been wanting to do this since I was a kid
im thinking about joining tmc after i graduate from my local truck driving school im a heavier guy but i get around pretty and know how to work hard are there any tmc drivers in the upper 300lbs that you have met?
How much Does a Tarp weigh? Is the Tarp always put on your load or are you expected to lift it up on the load. Is there a ladder to get on the flatbed.
Thank you. I just got my CDL A. I'm 60 and live in Charlotte NC. I'm trying to figure out if this might be something that would work for me. Can you tell me how you climb on the trucks. I know When I use do shipping and receiving many years ago I use to lift drivers up on there truck. Which wasnt the safest thing to do.
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 ok I understand now. I'm finishing my 1yr with refer company then I really want to pursue TMC. Your videos motivated me to truck school a few months ago
I want to know how can I get you to be my trainer when I come to TMC in December I post a star December 6th I don't know when when they going to turn me loose with a trainer but I want to know how can I request for you to be my trainer
Hey I’m thinking about coming on to tmc as a experience driver of 4 years. Without any flatbed experience do I have to ride with a driver for weeks or I get training at the yard for a few days then get my own truck ?
If I have a CDL just not flat bed experience, do I still have to go to Des Moines for two weeks? Or can I just go straight to 5 weeks of training with another driver? Thanks
I did the 2 weeks load tarp training decades ago at Des Moines. TMC has their own Hotel right there where you will be training and they have a restaurant as well, first class! you don’t need no car,
Trucker Axel Munoz hey man I heard something about tmc does allow drivers to use a head set wail driving is this true? Do they really have driver facing camera in the cab?
Sorry im just trying to Figure out where your 10 hours off was that day. Alot of people say tmc is strict and is to the T but something sounds fishy here
Treat you like family? Right!! They treat you like shit. I just quit TMC so I’m talking from experience. The VP of training called me cause I put my notice in to leave the company. After that conversation with him, I turned my truck in that night. He called me & basically was trying strong arm me. Worst place to work for.
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 ok so there is about 3 weeks of team driving. I understand that is necessary. My issue is I can’t sleep in the bunk while the truck is moving. I can do a couple of hours in passenger seat but can’t get a solid 6 even 4 hours in the bunk. Thanks
@@AlbertMaruggi yeah I’m like you but there are time I drive the whole night and there are trainers that do that too but once you drive all day you will pass out when you go to sleep
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 actually I did that with a major carrier and truly the bunk was impossible for me. I slept in the passenger seat for a couple hours at a time.
You know I've aways said never judge a person if you don't know him and one I never talk when I drive and I have the music blasting with my karaoke Nobody messes with a Mexican karaoke
I'll tell you this. Flatbedding is hard physical work but, There is an easy way to do most things in flatbedding. I'm 52 and am trying to get back into driving. Have 10 years experience from the past and did mostly flatbed for Boyd Bros. One thing, like getting your tarps on top of your load. most times the loader will allow you to put the tarp on the last piece to be loaded. No need to lift 110lbs all the time. Again you do need to be fit though.

All companies are trying to go auto apparently they have better fuel miles but I think manuals are the best and yes better for the mountains
Does tmc take care of everything ? Or do I have to do the written part ?
Does TMC still do the CDL training program? It doesn’t seem like money people do it and pay for truck school. I would rather get paid to get my CDL with TMC
Yes they still have the cdl program
I work local driving reefer and ain’t no way throwing a 100 pound tarp over a load and tightening some straps is harder than lumping groceries..
Where is the link to that intro beat though?!
A 30 foot ladder for a 13' highload ???

Dont worry about that you will loose weight here but you do have to to get up on the trailer
@@truckeraxelmunoz4939 thanks for that.
TMC would be great to work for if they had APU's
Do tmc have automatic trucks or all manual at tmc
Do they get you into orientation quick? Once you talk to the recruiter.
It depends on how full it gets I think
Does tmc have manual trucks or just all automatic
That are going all autos
So basically 34 hr reset each Friday right ?
Yup or Saturday sometimes
So tmc you can’t talk on your phone to family or whoever you need to talk too ?
How far along in the process do you know if you're gonna graduate into your own truck?
If you can drive a truck and secure the loads safely you are in
Would you recommend percentage per load or cpm with TMC?
Percentage is better
How much Does a Tarp weigh? Is the Tarp always put on your load or are you expected to lift it up on the load. Is there a ladder to get on the flatbed.
The tarp weigh about 120lb most of the time forklift guys can help you putting the tarp on your loads
