Was Maverick one of the companies on your list Nick? I really hate what's happened to you. Not fair. Bad form. Bad form indeed.

Nah I stayed away from flatbedding. Too much like work LOL No it's because I have a 40% disability rating. I am not able to lift the weight of the tarps. My back is pretty screwed up but I have learned to get around it pretty well. But I KNOW I can't handle those tarps and chains etc.. that flatbedders have to deal with.
Much respect to them cowboys for sure!!!

Honestly, I'd rather chain, nail, strap, and tarp than deal with dock people, except for the days you have to spread 200lb. frozen tarps in a 25mph wind on a winter's day. The heat I can handle.
True, skateboarders are the last of the cowboys. Not for the timid of heart. Or the physically infirmed. I go to the VA wednesday to see if they're going to allow me to drive (because of my ejection factor) or disable me; I'm on hold. In the meantime, I'm at the gym doing all the stuff the 25 year olds can't even attempt. This sux.
I chose to NOT lay down and die; I corrected my diet and hit the gym at 46, and now the DOT wants to tell me I'm needing 40% E.F. to qualify. Funny, I don't need it for anything like skate dancing, hauling lumber up ladders, weightlifting, and whooping the wife. I think I can hold a gearshift.

Just called Maverick today and they are not hiring any new divers at this time and did not know when they would be. They said to call back in a month or so.

Sorry to hear that one. Mav was one of the "positive" co's on my list. Try Celadon or Magnum Logistics or Conway.
BTW, I massively passed the stress test. Threw a 67% ejection factor, up from my original 30%! Weightlifting has it's purposes! So I now have a DOT card; getting the $ up for my recertification.

Courtney called me again on Thursday. They are hiring for REGIONAL FLAT now, at least out of NC. This is the better division than what I had applied for in Glass.

I told her I had bought a truck, she said glass hires O/O's out of NC but they are still frozen.
