It would help greatly if you have proficiency in any language BUT English. An adverse allergic reaction to deodorant, toothpaste, and soap is also considered a plus. You get extra points for a towel around your head and/or deported from your war-ravaged homeland. Recently paroled with a rap sheet a mile long will get the red carpet rolled out for you.
Better yet, tell em' you'll work for three hots and a cot!! That'll get your foot in the door for sure! Lmao

 How was orientation? Are you happy you chose TMC? I have to figure out this week (me and the wife) if I want to go there...

JB Hunt has dedicated runs up here in the NorthEast corner of CT and only requires 3 month experience. No matter what you will probably need to be with a trainer for that long anyways. I lucked (?) out and when I got out of the school found someone desperate and dumb (and low paying) enough to put me in a truck locally. I was delivering in Boston the second day by myself through too narrow detours and all :shock: . Fortunately there was no work the next day so I had a couple nights to stop shakeing :lol: . These idiots gave me no support and mentoring which I really needed so after 6 months of a couple days a week part-time (was to go full time in about three more months for the summer for good dollars) I was about to go with JB when I found an OK local that I've been with almost 2 years now. I think JB would have been the better choice paywise but as far as mentoring I didn't see how I'd get that there. I think I'm a far better driver now than I would be going right to JB and I might still try them someday as their trucks are parked next to my yard so I could walk to work! 8)
