Any Questions for a Driver Trainer for Maverick?

I carry a piece of nine wire about 10 feet long. Works great pulling straps through and chains. If you don't know what nine wire is, headed to a farm store and ask.
And best of all it's dirt cheap.

 

No team driving just solo.

 

Am I wrong.....???..... if you're a newbie...........wouldn't you rather go with a trainer (and company for that matter) that would teach you on a manual trans....???? moutains...ice..etc..
I mean you just come out of school....you learned the basics how to shift....and now you go to an auto????
So what do you do when you leave for another company...and all their trucks are manual??? Go with a trainer again...???

not to be negative here.............just my 2 cents

 

Not a bad question GTR Silver....
One who is not very confident with shifting 8,9,10+ transmissions may feel uncomfortable I imagine, but, I am not concerned myself.
Besides, I have found where I belong anyways, so the premise of your question stating WHEN I move to another company is not of my concern. Thank you.

 

I think i'll start a thread.......all the best...............!!!!!!!!

He is right. Trucking isn't a union job. 99.999999% of newbies don't stay with their first job. (I made this statistic up, probaly close tho)lol. It's good u have a good attitude for your new job , but u also need to think about the future. U dont want to have the dear in the headlights look when u get another job and go out Otr. Well I guess there is always useless express and trams am u can fall back on( auto transmission companies). Good luck to you and best wishes.

 

Good info here with interesting discussion! You sound like a trainer I would like but we live too far apart. Looking at Maverick as a possible. I've had my Class A since 1997 but never been OTR. Thinking in this economy it might be a good time to put it to use.
