Awesome job! I leave for orientation at TMC in a week. I am so motivated to be at my very best and change my life. I’m watching every tractor and trailer that I see with an attention to detail like never before. It may sound corney but I want to make TMC THE BEST in the south...period. I see that this video was a year ago, and I plan to match what you did or better it in 2020. Thanks for setting the bar so very high.

I don't miss this part of working for TMC at all. Daily rolling tarps and then retarping the next load got old. Nothing like a good tarp job on a load of rusty steel. The whole experience wasn't bad, they had good equipment and I made decent money at the time but you had to earn it.
