er

I was in Little Rock in April of 08 and the employee roster there listed over 1235 Maverick trucks and I was told by the fleet mgr that altogether that the co had about 1600 trucks. If you go the Maverick website it lists a total of 1500 trucks today. I liked my time there. I had serious home issues that prevented me fm continuing with them. I also received points for a couple of " incidents". I did not attain the max number of points that was set for dismissal though. As you will read, I did not just pull the numbers I presented out of thin air. Have a great day.

No, not James, David. I think I know of the guy you are thinking of. He lives over near Greenup , Ky which is close to Ashland. This guy came out the tech sch I went to for cdl. He had nothing but good to say about Maverick at that time. I think most companies are hurting right now. I don't agree with the way a lot of them are treating their drivers now, including Maverick.( At least from what I read in these posts)

I'm wondering why you are not following this model from the original approach in your new forum?

I can't really think of any precedent where job seekers pay to look up jobs. The source of revenue is traditionally shouldered by the ad placers.

What would I expect to get for my $20 right NOW if I paid to use the forum? And why would I expect any answers if I paid the $20 to post a job?

...not to question such a wiseone!
