Made it thru the Swift Academy, WOO HOO
Yeah, it's amazing how many knuckleheads show up for Company-Sponsored Training Programs. All you can do is avoid em and keep doing your thing.
Congrats on getting through it! Let us know how things go this week.
Entitlement mentality is a nasty thing. Some people don't get that you have to earn the nice trucks, they're not just going to be given to you. Not until you pass the training at least, I suspect.
You said the instructors were patient and friendly. Do you feel prepared to hit the road, having finished? Were the trucks particularly difficult to work with and you just overcame it while others made excuses, or was it more those people just complaining for its own sake?

My TMC Transport Orientation and Training
Just thought of one, although it's not particularly urgent: what computer are you typing your replies on? Does TMC have a computer area at the orientation center or did you bring a laptop with wi-fi?

Nice entries. I like how detailed you get with the descriptions of things. I'm going to be going to CDL School in a few weeks and I'm thinking of making TMC my choice of company after everything is done, so your diary is of supreme interest to me.
How many people are in your orientation training class?

Load securement sounds like a blast.
Are there any knuckleheads in your training class, or were they all pretty much weeded out before you all got there?
