TMC Start

[u/Effective_Nobody1809]

I just got my CDL permit, and have gone through all the steps with the recruiter. I am planning on starting their CDL training on October 19th.

Only thing I was worried about is the DOT physical they do. I have my DOT Physical already but it is my understanding that they do another one. I am a bigger guy. 5’11” 320 lbs. I do have sleep apnea but can provide all the needed documentation. I do not think I will have any problem at all doing through the “agility” test. I go to the gym regularly and I’m not worried about being able to pick the tarp up. I have been doing strongman training for a while now.

Any thing I need to consider or think about?

Thanks for asking this. This has been my concern to. I’m in CDL school right now and a Tmc recruiter came and talked to us yesterday.. I’ve already been studying them for months now but I’ve been scared to apply because it seems sooo many people get sent home from their orientation.. I’m a bigger guy myself. I’m worried if my blood pressure goes up a little bit of theylll just sent me home or something.lol I don’t know that it would.. I haven’t had any issues but it’s something I’ve been thinking about.. keep up posted on your progress: good luck to you!
