Default Will TMC take me on ?

I have a CDL with little OTR exp. I went with one of those CDL training programs ( C1 Driving out of DFW) and was driving for USA Truck. only went out with the trainer then the wifes mother passed on and I had to return to Germany ( wife is German). Everything is cleared up now and I am looking to come back to the states around mid November. I spoke with USA and they will take me back on ( didnt burn any bridges). although from what I here of wrecks, & buy outs. Etc.... I am wondering if its is a good idea to go back to them ?.

Question is would TMS take me on as a student driver ?

I'm only a rookie with only trainer otr experience, and am still paying C1 $100,00 a month ( dont want to ruin my credit). and am willing to go through orentation / training ect...need it any way no matter what compamy hires me.

Thanks,
Ski.

I believe that you have a good chance with TMC. Hard to guarantee anything, but I think your chances are good.

One thing with the TMC web application is that there is very little room for "notes" explaining these things. I ended up faxing in a "cover letter" type thing specifically explaining my circumstances and how eager I was to work for TMC. My location was a slight problem. :lol:

If you can manage it try to fill out the web application on the TMC website and send it to Matt. Then call the student recruiting number and press ext. 3 for Matt to tell him your story and that you just filled out the web app.

I believe that if you completed school and can pass the TMC road test you will be all set. If you don't pass the test TMC can set you up with a refresher course. They may even pick up the payments on the $100 per month school loan. Good luck.
