Maverick dose not screw up your dac. reports, you do by your own actions. If you don't hit things then Maverick can't report that you did hit something. That is the problem with most of you newbys, you always want to blame the company for all your problem. You ran me to hard, the directions were not right, etc. You are the driver of the truck, you make the desicions right or wrong no one else. Farber, you have worked for one company your whole life, you dinged up the equipment 5 different times, Sorry you dac. is screwed up and your having a hard time getting a job. I don't see how you can keep blaming Maverick for all your troubles. I wish you would go buy a truck and see what trucking is really all about. I think you should have to work for more then just one company before you can start judging them. I have been in the trucking business for over 30 years and worked for over 20 different companys - 18 years as a owner operator and 12 as a company suck. In my 30 years of trucking I can say, only 3 companys have been really good companys to work for and Maverick is one of them. The reason Maverick trucks drive slower the company is only pushing for better fuel milage, which only means more money in your pocket. I get a 2 cent or better bonse every quarter.
u drive over 100k w/no oops, except you have over 30 yrs. experience. anyway, we've been thru this, you have a right to your opionion as i do mine, i doubt we'll change eachothers....and that's fine.

don't worry about me, i got a real job now, good benifits, good pay, home at night, home for lunch even....Thank God.

-if anything, i feel bad for you for being in such a cut throat, diver screwing industry....don't have to look far to see that's the truth.

and i worked there, i'll judge them....thank you, 2 years i know exactly what they'll do and how they'll treat you and when....you won't stop me from speaking my mind, or anyone else....so they can keep hiring rookies, never mentioning the word 'dac' to them, letting them run illegal as hell without saying a word....making bank off them, and cutting throats when it suits them. i don't have to work for another company to call that bull-####.

Faber,just a quick note to you,I was hired at Mav as a student in oct 2008,at that time I thought I was going to Boot Camp! I started looking at what was going on during the week of orientation and thought this just a hiring and firing company! 4 days into the week and one of higher up's told us they had fired 40 drivers while we were there getting hired! I knew something was wrong with the picture when he said that, of course that made all 18 of us scared to death we was'nt gonna make the cut. I was gonna haul glass instead of flatbed, and Little Rock had no idea what there glass div. was all about and they told the 6 of us that were going to glass those exact words! needless to say I did not stay, once I went to N.C and talked to the supervisor there. To me Mav was running us through there L.R. office like cattle through the stock yard! Hope things work out for you....

I drove by their yard at the beginning of Feb, man they sure had a buttload of trucks sitting there. Most looked like they were empty, and then next to their yard was bunch of them for sale.

But you are going to have oops when you drive 100k miles a year. They were a great company until the economy got bad then it was Maverick first Driver last. For us older drivers Im glad Im outta there. Found something better and still get home on weekends. Good luck new drivers just watch your P's and Q's.
sunarab, perhaps i read it wrong but in two sentences you said you had 3 years of clean service. then said you had a few oops. so which is it? unless Maverick was driving the truck when the oops occurred, they are not responsible for your oops, you are. Henceforth you are responsible for your own DAC. They were and still continue to be a great company. What would you have done if the company was yours, profit was non existant? Any smart businessman would research where they could cut their losses the most and the fastest? I'm glad in these economic times you were able to find something better and hope whomever you are working for now are more tolerable to your oops, as long as its nothing major of course.
