oreintation question

Get there as early as you can, being early is on time! And take lots of notes!!! Buy yourself a big paper binder to take notes. While in training, relax and have fun!

 

good to see you keeping the Sewerman quote going Plentygood. I know we all sure do miss having him on here.

 

It'd be a pretty good company to start with, especially if you want to do flatbed.
In training, when they want you to do things a certain way (they'll emphasize the biggies), just do them. Don't be too argumentative too many times. Pay close attention, follow instructions, do things their way, and you'll make it just fine. It's not that hard, but some people are too stubborn and they're the ones who get sent home... with a bus ticket, or reimbursement if you drive yourself.

 

Seems appropriate to post this question in this thread...Does Maverick provide housing during orientation? Or a discount rate at a hotel? Or is housing at your own expense out of pocket? I Haven't been able to find this anywhere, so any info is much appreciated, thanks in advance!

 

yes they provide housing. the first week you are in a bunk house on the yard. the rest of the time they put you in the hotel down the street. the bunk house is nicer than the hotel.

 

worked for maverick they r vey professinal orientation is tough but if u do everthing they tell u to do. i mean everthing u can make it very good equipment plan on being gone from home about 4 weeks depending on division i was in tcd division temp controlled division counting orientation and being with a trainer i was gone 7 weeks when i first started but they r a eleet group very strict though they will tell u dont walk on the grass that will get u a bus ticket home if u need more info let me know

 

There is nothing wrong with the maverick hotel or the Galloway down the street. They are both nicer than some hotels I have paid for
