Need Advice About Written Guarantee
Topic 19034 | Page 1
I think they established what you can expect. You'll need to make your "go" or "no-go" decision with that document, likely nothing more.
Maybe a leap of faith...but the majority of people sent home is for lack of disclosure. You've covered that base as best you can.
As long as you have disclosed everything, including anything you believe they wouldn't find (sealed case, etc), are clean, have studied and willing to continue learning you should be good to go. They generally care more about lying than what you may have done.
Well said G-Town. That is what it comes down to. I have chosen TMC tranport. From what I have been reading (impartial reading, none of that BS), they run a tight ship, are regimented, and squared away. My kind of folks. Looking forward to learning all about flatbed. Be well.

Evening BQ. Yeah, I have been upfront about all of the information requested of me. I have been clean and sober almost 20 years now. Studying like a bandit, couple hours a day. Preparing...
I second G-Town. Stay off the grass. They do not play around. Get caught taking a short cut thru the lawn and your next trip is on a greyhound back home.
Yeah the lawn is real. They figure if you break rules in front of them what are you doing behind their backs.
Good luck!!!
I was curious about this grass thing, and did some googling to see what you guys were talking about. Apparently the owner spends like 100k on the grass? What a silly waste of water and money.
Also, apparently there is some notorious high ranking guy in the company that's known for saying, "Any monkey can drive a truck." It doesn't sound like a particularly pleasant company to work for. Sounds like it pays well though. Good luck, and congrats on the success!
Lance I have two friends who drive for TMC...one for 3 years, the other for 2. They enjoy working there,...like the company. Naysayers abound in this industry, block out any and all negativity.
The lawn and the trucks? There is a correlation, both immaculate, both represent their brand recognition for quality.
Your diligence and dedication the making this happen is commendable,...two elements of your character that will serve you well.

TT On Facebook
Evening to all, from NJ anyhow. So I received two invitations to CDL training school. TMC transport. CRST transport. Here is where I need advice from you experienced folk. I asked the recruiters from both schools if they would email a guarantee of schooling with my felony record being known. I was informed that a letter of pre-hire is customary.
My concern is that I will get to Iowa and be in school, only to be told to go home because of a reconsideration or something came up? I have disclosed all, with proper paperwork as well in regards to my criminal history, MVC, employment history etc. I know I'm jumping the gun a bit here, but I have to cover all my basis. What do you fine folks think about this?

Pre-hire:
What Exactly Is A Pre-Hire Letter?
Pre-hire letters are acceptance letters from trucking companies to students, or even potential students, to verify placement. The trucking companies are saying in writing that the student, or potential student, appears to meet the company's minimum hiring requirements and is welcome to attend their orientation at the company’s expense once he or she graduates from truck driving school and has their CDL in hand.
We have an excellent article that will help you Understand The Pre-Hire Process.
A Pre-Hire Letter Is Not A Guarantee Of Employment
The people that receive a pre-hire letter are people who meet the company's minimum hiring requirements, but it is not an employment contract. It is an invitation to orientation, and the orientation itself is a prerequisite to employment.
During the orientation you will get a physical, drug screen, and background check done. These and other qualifications must be met before someone in orientation is officially hired.
