    JimTheHut,

    I just read your entire story about Maverick.

    Just finished CDL school and have a pre-hire in hand from Mav and KeimTS and could not make a decision.


    Your story helped me make that call. I can honestly say everything you have chronicled on here aligns with what I have heard from recruiters/former drivers which is proof that folks are telling the truth....

    *I have spent the last 14 years in the manufacturing industry and 10 of that was the shipping manager for a 50+ million dollar a year company. If there is one thing I have learned that is rare in trucking its this. H O N E S T Y*

    I knew when my wife and I talked about the possibility of me getting into trucking that integrity was a rare if albeit mythological virtue. I knew with faith the right road would illuminate. :)


    Maybe I'll see ya around !
     
    Truckermania, Rigbuilder and RERM Thank this.

    Glad you found it useful! I often go back to the beginning and can not believe how long it has been, yet it seems like only yesterday! It would be great to meet you.
    I am going out with Scott S this week. Sitting in front of his house. Going to NLR to pick up a display. Then to Shreveport, Dallas, and who knows where. I do miss the truck...LOL

    Last week was a great week. Spent it with Scott Shy. We were down in Shreveport, and Dallas among the places. Scott was one of my instructors when I went through orientation and then securement training. In fact, he was the one who gave me my job offer. He is a wonderful human being and it was a privilege to be with him. Learned some more from him. I will be heading down to Chattanooga to meet up with Warren Scott and TJ for my last week of training. Then I am on my own. Warren is going to come up to pa the week of the 22nd to introduce me to the schools he was going in to.
    It is not as much fun as driving a truck...lol but it is interesting and hopefully I can be of some help!

    Spent a great week with Warren and TJ down around the Atlanta Area. We hit about Four schools each day. Getting ready to head home....500 miles. Will be on my own next week but am meeting Warren up in PA the filling week. He going to take me in and introduce me to.the schools he used to take care of. We had some great classes of students who were really interested in their new career in trucking!

    The ford transit that I drive around in is nice, but 500 miles in it is a big difference than riding in that Freightliner Cascadia!
