Hello all
Was curious if anyone could provide me any and as much information about Mavericks Glass division as well as the orientation process.
How was the stay at the Maverick "hotel" during orientation.
Was there ever any down time or time after class? If so what did you do?
I have heard glass has a high turnover rate. If true, why?
How has maverick treated you so far?
I could go on and on with more questions so I'm just hoping and appreciate any and everything you can tell me.
Also, what is essential to take along for orientation

Turnover rate is industry wide, not just glass. Glass is just like any other otr flatbed jobChris Ponder Thanks this. -
Thank you for the replies. WHO I have read your article but it doesn't really touch on things you do at orientation as far as when not in class. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for a party but is it all class, shower, sleep?
Do they have down time? When not in class can you practice on the simulator when you want? How has things been going? How many people made it out of orientation and actually got an offer? Those that didn't was it due to there own mistakes or poor attitude -
The few that didn't was because they just didn't understand logs, hos, trip planning etc etc. A handful left when they saw the real hometime chart and how much hometime they are getting. ....otr is otr, gotta realize that. Unless your regional then well.....home every week -

Experience only did the simulator once and it was to achieve 7.2 mpg.
Experience had a choice to go with a trainer or not
I don't know what question your question was about -

Thanks for the info. I'm looking at a dedicated glass route that gets me home weekends. Just trying to get an idea of how things are.
We learned some about HOS in school and had to complete log books for any runs we did whether in sleeper or driving.
Did little on trip planning in class. But I used to have a job where I did deliveries, not TT, and was very tedious about planning my route accordingly. I know not the same but a start.
Thanks for the info. I'm the type of person who always expects the worst so just getting ideas what to expect at orientation.
Did hear first week is hotel on site then 2nd week on is a different hotel.
