    10.00 an hour sucks. Some of places u have to get in and out of. We havent got a raise in over a year and the rumor is that we wont get a cost of living raise this year either.

    If you can pay your own way thru school maverick may take you once you are done that is what I did.It was a little stressful cause they didn't let me know I had a job till the last possible minute.There are a few advantages to that one is that you are not obligated to them once you have finished school the other is they give you a 500 hundred dollar bonus after your six month anniversery..When I went through the recruiting department last week they had a sign up that driver turnover is at 49 percent right now.my school at Arkansas state in Newport cost me 1750 total with room and board.Just an option for you if you can afford it and don't want to wait.Later:iroc:

    I wish I could help u out with that question. I've helped drivers untarp and roll their tarps up. Their not exactly light but if your in good shape I wouldnt think 57 is too old. Notarps,bundy or daytona could tell ya.

    The CDL training is not paid. We do get room paid for, and we have to buy our own food for 3 weeks.

    Hear is a convo I had with a Maverick Recreiter reguarding the issiues with Maverick that were posted on this fourm. I hope it helps.



    Maverick Guest hello..Chris?
    Maverick Guest if not..I was cut of in caht! and had 2 more qwestions
    Maverick Recruiti... hi
    Maverick Recruiti... is this Michael
    Maverick Guest hi
    Maverick Guest ok ..hello
    Maverick Guest I jaut have a few more qwestions
    Maverick Guest and I heard mostly good stuff, but! therE ARE SOME PEOPLE SAYING THAT THEY HAD A BAD EXPEARENCE, THEY HAD TO PAY GAS MONY FROM THERE OWN POCKET AND WERE NEVER PAYED BACKED UP MIALGE PAY. i DONT REAly know how true it is, I was just concerned. I also heard..
    Maverick Recruiti... ok
    Maverick Guest sorry for the caps
    Maverick Recruiti... well depending on when that was it could be true.... when we first bought this division off Schnieder it was in a bad state... we have been working on building it up.... at that time we did not have a fuel network set up in Canada so we were having to send out Com Checks and the like
    Maverick Recruiti... hat has been corrected now... however the fuel network is still relatively small up there so you really have to pay closer attention to where to fuel at b/c the stops aren't everywhere like down here in the US
    Maverick Guest yeah! He had said he paid for gas in qubeck
    Maverick Recruiti... lol thats what it was...
    Maverick Recruiti... did you ask him when that was tho?
    Maverick Guest he told us
    Maverick Guest what syation? NO
    Maverick Recruiti... ?
    Maverick Guest hE JUST SAIDstation
    Maverick Guest typs...sorry
    Maverick Guest "station"
    Maverick Guest he just said Qubeck
    Maverick Recruiti... ahhh
    Maverick Recruiti... yeah that was more than likely back in the day then
    Maverick Recruiti... not that many loads go to Canda however and we do have that network in place now
    Maverick Guest another thing I was told that the spacialized div actiualy brings home less then the flatbead div because specialized div has more sitting time
    Maverick Guest true?
    Maverick Recruiti... NOPE
    Maverick Recruiti... not true
    Maverick Recruiti... they bring home more
    Maverick Recruiti... and you start out at more
    Maverick Guest I will post this in the fourm if its ok with you. There were alot of worried people that wished to come there.
    Maverick Recruiti... some people just hate the division b/c it goes to Canda to be honest
    Maverick Guest ok
    Maverick Recruiti... thats fine
    Maverick Guest ahh well ok bro, thanks for yer time
    Maverick Guest have a great day
    Maverick Recruiti... we've picked up some new glass accounts and one of our competitors lost a large one... so we are gearing up for an overflow of freight around Christmas actually
    Maverick Guest made me feel better lol
    Maverick Recruiti... not a problem! Have a good one!
    Maverick Recruiti... haha glad to hear it!
    Maverick Guest lat
