Maverick Transportation
I drive for Maverick and I am pleased with them. Just thought I would put that in here for anyone interested.

maverick info
Steve,
I`m within a few weeks of starting cdl school and training with maverick.
I`m located in Shelbyville Ky...and I understand maverick hauls alot of freight out of Ghent Ky and Jeffersonville In.Both of which are close to me.
I read your blog ,good info in there too.
Any info you can share ,especially on their training and hometime will be appreciated.
I was told I`d probably be pulling a "covered wagon"
Thanks,
Les

Hey, driver I am with maverick also. I live in West KY. This is the best company I have ever been with by far! It is my fifth company since back in the 80's, so I have been down the road a few times. PM me if you want more info.

Maverick said that you can email your family from your truck, so do they supply the computer? How does that work?

I am in the US division. US div gets home 98% of the weekends. Long haul div stays out 2 weeks at a time. US is out 1 week at a time. I can run anywhere, but mostly run WI, IA, IL, OH, MO, TN, VA, AR, MS, AL, GA, IN, KY and a few other states. I run about 20 states.
You have to pay for the in cab email. It is kind of high. Most use cells or laptops. It is a good company. I talked to a couple of their students that did not have CDL's. They said they put them in a house trailer for school. Said they liked the school and it was free. I think they said they were paid 400 a week for training and had to work for them for 6 months to pay off the school. Orientation is a week paid 550 bucks and load securement training is paid 400 bucks for 1 week then you will be with a trainer. Good luck to you! There is a $500 sign on bonus as well.Last edited by notarps4me; 08.05.2007 at 06.11 PM. Reason:: added info

Thanks for the info. I've had my Cdl for over 3 yrs. now, so I need orientation & securement training. I will apply w/ them maybe this week. Not sure when I would leave my current company though. Timimg is everything ya know. Late summer/ fall is a better time to learn securement/tarping than winter time. So my question to myself is do I want to do another year w/ my current employer, or break off soon. Hmmmm...

notarps, stevedb, et al:
I'm just starting out and I'm trying to make the most informed decision possible.
With Maverick, are there 2 divisions for recent grads (U.S. and Longhaul) w/ regional based on seniority/waiting list? (Got 'Pre-hire' from Roehl today, and I'm very interested in Maverick also).
Also, I'll be relocating to Eastern Kentucky from SC after CDL training. Where I actually "live" is not as important as getting on with a great company. Any tips on best location in relation to Maverick's "travel lanes"?
Thanks for any info....
