glad for you.you have a world famous guitar man working there,i met him a long time ago,he has played with some big country bands,he had a whole writeup in a trucker mag about 6 years ago.hes been there for years,i don't know if he still is,good luck your on your way to a great career there.take care

i was wondering when you started your wait. i've been on wait for the last two weeks. i know what you mean about ready to work and make money

Bundy, I got on the list officially on july 25th, they told me today that I was scheduled for sunday orientation. I already had my CDL so I dont know if that speeded up the process. The total amount of time was 24 days so when they tell you a month they arent kidding......I think it you are making a good decision with them, from what Ive learned on here, and talking to their drivers(I have spoken to 8 here locally) I have yet to hear anything negative......The wait is ( I think ) lots of people and not too many trainers.....The recruiter told me today the drivers had to be with the company 10 years in order to train.......That sounds like a long time to me but it is what he told me..................I guess time will tell when I train..........By the way I think 4 weeks is about right to learn what you need to know.......that is how long we trained people in the bread business and they still didnt know shemp when they were turned loose......... but ya gotta start somewhere....... right..........Wonderman

wonder i just figured out that i was put on the list on 1 aug but have called every friday since. i was in the process of getting my cdl when they called me. i actually applied with them before i applied with swift(went with a buddy of mine, he plans on doing his time with swift then going to jbhunt). i also have looked for anything about maverick and haven't found anything good or bad. anyway maybe i'll catch up with you in little rock best of luck God bless

they start the time from when you get approved by the hiring commitee.....before that you have to get all the hoops jumped through......Dac,mvr,record,job history, this is all pretty standard stuff seems to me with any company........Wonderman

Go to the closest truck stop and find some of their drivers, most will talk to you if you approach and are not too pushy. The drivers I spoke with allowed me to look at the truck and were really high on this company. I had time so I waited and have enjoyed the time with my kids. When I start driving I will be glad I did..............Wonderman

i have never seen one of their trucks up my way the closest would be in joplin,mo but i dont' get over that often. but best of luck to ya and hopefully i'll be treading the highways with ya and other drivers very soon

You are already ahead in the game if you have been studying your dmv book..Just remember on the inspection to repeat everything for every axle and you will be ahead in the game....when I got done with my walk around and got into the cab the tester informed me that if I could identify 3 things in the cab I passed..........He was kinda funny but a really nice guy.............needless to say I passed ........you just need to take your time and not get too stressed.........Wonderman
