TMC EXTENDS DRIVER HOSPITALITY TO COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA
TMC Transportation has acquired its own 63-room hotel for drivers in Columbia, SC. Within five miles of TMC’s driver training center, TMC is pleased to offer a convenient lodging solution for students. With the purchase of the existing Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham, drivers can expect the same comfort and dependable, high-quality service that they are accustomed to at TMC’s Baymont Inn & Suites that has operated onsite at their headquarters in Des Moines, IA since 1996. Both hotels offer hotel rooms to the public, as well as to their own drivers, and appreciate the opportunity to serve all visitors. TMC takes pride in the ownership and management of the facilities that offer great hospitality to their professional drivers. Standards of excellence for which TMC is proud to embody will immediately be put into practice. Staffed by TMC employees, customer service for drivers is paramount. The Columbia location will offer free hotel rooms for drivers who are attending orientation and training. Todd Bordenaro, General Manager of Hospitality, shared the prevailing excitement around TMC about the near future open date. “I want to first thank Jason Webb for his trust in having me lead this new hotel venture for TMC! This is a great opportunity for the company, its employees, and our student training program. We are excited for the challenge that it brings with the goal of becoming another Best of the Best Wyndham Brand Hotels for the Columbia, South Carolina Community.” The newly acquired facility opened December 12th of 2021. Modernization of furnishings will take place over the next few months, along with inclusion of the TMC brand.
