Maverick TCD Traniing on the road

I intend to make this thread an informal recap of my experience with Maverick from my class room training through getting in my own company truck.

SO here goes ...

Finished orientation and started my 2 days in class training. We discussed the equipment used and the process for reporting loads. We also discussed a little about the Qualcom and the macros used to report certain things. We went over Canadian crossings and the required paper work and logging in Canada as well. After successfully completing the class I was assigned to a road instructor. He is currently at home and will be in touch on Sunday to set up a pick up time to get me on the truck. Today is Saturday 3/02/2013. I am in a motel by the truck stop twiddling my thumbs. Hurry up Monday. I guess a couple of days rest will be good for now.

BTW - You do need steel toed boots for TCD.

 

Not everyone has to do the sleep apnea test. If your neck size is over 17" and your BMI is over 35, you will have to do a sleep apnea test. I didn't.

 

I don't know about the either or of that. I know that if you do not have either you will not be required to take the test.

My neck size was 15 and BMI was 29

 

I got a call from trainer last night. I will be meeting him at the Maverick terminal here in N. LR at 9:30 today..
