Hey everyone, been creeping this forum for some time and finally decided to make an account since my current career situation is on thin ice with this vax mandate. Currently working for the Fed as an air traffic controller in training, over 2 years in with no progression due to training shutdowns for over 14 months due to the rona. Federal employees have no option to weekly test so I'm seriously giving thought to getting into trucking. (It is a career I had planned to start as a 2nd career after retirement but here we are) I'm no stranger to long and odd working hours or being away from family so that aspect of trucking is not lost on me. I know the situation is fresh and developing but if anyone currently driving for any of the mega carriers can comment on whether they are expecting some sort of vax mandate enforcement I would appreciate any insight. Perhaps anyone currently in TMC Transport may have any info? It is definitely one of the companies I am leaning towards because I am interested in flatbed work and having a somewhat active aspect to the job besides just driving.
