Hello all! I am determined to become a trucker. I want to drive a flatbed! I plan on getting my permit here in Indianapolis within the next 2 weeks. I am not able to attend driving school. I will need a paid training company. I am hoping to apply and be accepted to TMC. Any advice would be much appreciated! ~wannabeflatbedhauler
Howdy, Alicia, and WELCOME to Trucking Truth!!!
TMC is a FINE company... just DON'T walk on the grass (seriously!!!) because that family of Honored Military (Marines) don't play, haha! Read the signs; it's part of the test....trust me, it is!
You'd probably do 'better' introducing yourself in the 'General' category, but.. you've got me, and I'm sure Laura (IDMtnGal) will be along shortly.
First off: Did you see this???
When you get all THAT down pat, we've got the most AMAZING pre trip study guides, as well.
As far as applying for company paid training (and yes, TMC!) I'd recommend this:
^^^ A full two minutes will bounce a 'simple' app to TMC (and a few others!) companies that will PAY YOU to train with them.
I sure wish you the best, m'lady...hit me up anytime!!!! Go DO this!!!!

Welcome to Trucking Truth! Go thru all the links Anne left for you. Then any questions you have, put them out there in the General Catagory.
Very few women are in flatbed, so most of your questions will need to be answered by the guys. Because this is a man's world and being the oldest of 5 brothers, 3 husbands, 1 son and 14 yrs on active duty (another man's world) in the Air Force, I seldom come over to this section.
Hope to see you around in the forums.
