Hi,

I'm just down the road in Surgoinsville...give Maverick (flatbed...not glass) a try...and and explain the getting fired in detail to the recruiter first thing, right up front...Maverick does their best to get the flatbed divers home most weekends.

Its very hard to get a local job without some OTR experience.

 

buschjobs.com is the career website for bud..i don,t know too many companies thats gonna get him home every weekend during training. once he,s solo..he mite luck out and get a regional position.

Sorry to hear the events of this, not being use to a stick shift I imagine is really hard on a person. My husband is a trainer so I know the trials and tribulations that go on. It was I think most likely a very dangerous situation being on a hill stalled out; it is too bad that the trainer did not do the driving himself to begin with, but I imagine most trainers are on a very tight schedule still. What really upset and scared hubby was one trainee who went right through a redlight, didn't even attempt to slow down or nothing, this was after he had been on the truck 4wks training; he got taken back to the terminal where they could evaluate him again, I don't know if they put him back with another trainer or not since this is one of the companies who have schooling attached to them. He also had one who basically suffered from roadrage, got all hyped up everytime someone did something he perceived as against him such as a passing car. I will have to ask him how he would handle a situation like your fiancee had I guess.


Usually training time is spent over the road wherever the dispatch sends you, he may not ever be in the Kingsport, TN area during this time. Unless written in ink or some route that just goes so far and back again, hometime at most companies has to be turned in 2-3wks in advance and then they try to find loads going to the area to get him there. I don't know how it works at Averitt, it looks like they have a lot of terminals across the nation which would make it easier maybe. Most companies will not let you have hometime if you are under a load.

US Xpress was pretty good for him back a few years ago, but he ran and I was riding with him then so we only went home about every 3 mo.
With shortage of shipments though the miles may not be very good though, and I doubt if they will get him home every week.

Until he has some more experience he may have to take the best fit he can find and worry about changing later on.

My buddy lost most of his toes on one foot when they were shot down, but they still let him re-enlist. Have you looked at hullnumber .com?
