Today is the day the last 6 months have built up to for me. My MVA test for my official class a license is at 1530. I leave Saturday for Des Moines to attend orientation with TMC. It's about to get real, and I'm impatiently waiting for it to hurry up and get over with so I can start my career. I'm excited, truly. I need to get out of this house and on the road and start building a financial cushion.

So I'm about 3 hours out from the orientation center heading down 80W. I have yet to see a single TMC truck on this route, and their main terminal is based right off of 80W. What gives...

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

I always try to avoid my terminals... Crst is in cedar rapids ia and not a whole lot of freight in that area... That's probably why you don't see them...

Tmc is opening a new massive terminal in indy, in because we spend more time there.
