If you have a chance before appointment lay on your left side for awhile this hits the vagus nerve and lowers BP.

Also, again if you have a chance take a hot shower this vasodiolates your vessels lowering BP.

This is not a replacement for proper medical treatment or healthy life style.

Congrats!!!! Job well done.

This site is just simply amazing. Thank you all for all the advice. Thank you to the moderators and administration for taking your time to help new drivers out. Maybe one day I will have enough knowledge to help others.

Thank you for all the replies.

I have not definitely made up my mind. I am also considering dry van as refer really does not appeal to me.

I am aware of the set backs of being a female in a male dominated field. I have encountered this my whole life. Even have experienced diversity during schooling.

As far as TMC they have a grand total of 2 females and as the recruiter stated “they have more facial hair than the guys”. I did take note of the underhanded statement since I am a feminine looking female. He stated they wanted more female but didn’t know how to recruit them. This comment was also noted.

But in the grand scheme of things I should probably focus on getting experience under my belt and feel confident in the daily job before adding additional challenges.

I have time to get prehires from different companies and hauls.

Again, thank you all for commenting and being honest. Keep the advice coming.

Thank you both for responding. I do have an itch to do flatbed it’s just appealing to me. I know it is not for everyone but I won’t know if I don’t try. If I don’t I would always wonder if I could have. TMC recruitment said just email them a video of me lifting 100 pounds up to my shoulder. Trying to figure out something to substitute a tarp for the video. I have a bit before I finish school actually until March as I am having to start over at the school next class as I had some issues that caused me to have to leave before qualifying. Already have DOT pre trip and skills testing under my belt and on file so I won’t have to repeat those I just need to road test.

I will check out Little Syster’s post. Thank you.

Was wondering if there were any women flatbed haulers on this site.

I am considering this option.

From anybody doing flat bed how often do you actually have to carry the tarps to the top of the load?

Any updates. I would be interested in your experience from the beginning to current. I just completed the application. Wondering what to expect if accepted.

I am currently (well until yesterday) at JCC. They do not have any automatic trucks. All 9 speed and 10 speed.
