    I was bored tonight, so I went across the river to take a peek at Maverick's terminal in Madison, Ill. It was the only Maverick place I can take a look at right now. I didn't go in but it still looked decent... clean and bright. I've heard terminals tend to be somewhat skeezy places. I was curious where I might end up going to swap my car for truck etc. if I work there. Given the general area, it looked really good! Not exactly news, but I don't have a heck of a lot to write about right now, and am trying to scope things out...

    Mavericks worst terminal is Gary, IN...and even it is not bad at all, just small.

    Madison is a nice terminal...but wait till you see the one in Little Rock.

    Safest place to stay when in the St Louis area. Well lit, gated, plenty of parking, nice showers, company van to use to go eat, resupply, etc They used to tell drivers in orientation to overnight there if need be, when delivering or picking up in the area. Was hung out this past weekend and stayed there for my restart.

    True, showers are redone now and they've stacked some of the trailers to create some more space. My student's flying up there today to get his truck so that'll be one less on the yard up there this weekend

    If you are into racing they run for pinks right down the street from there.

    Fort Smith in my opinion is the second nicest terminal. The yard in Gary really makes it hard to keep clean.
    It is so nice to be able to get a car to use when you are at these places!

    ####... boys quit picking on my poor little Gary yard. I call Gary my home terminal, because I live here. It might be small, but it dose have the best people inside.

    I'll just look forward to seeing them all!

    Getting a car to use? Do some places let you take a car out to run around in or something? Maybe a silly question but that would be really cool. I've seen pinks from Gateway on TV but never went, lol.

    LOL. MEEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEEEEE??????..........Pick on your home terminal?....Never. Gary terminal is a great place to get stuff done. Excellent place to overnight when in the Chicago area. I especially like it in the winter when the tundra is frozen or in the summer when its nice and dry. Its good to get out of the truck and pitch a game of horseshoes in front of the terminal as well.
