Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

maverick will send you through the ringer to see if you can handle them, very trickey in classes, one time you'll be in room 1 next time you'll be in 3, and so on, listen very close to whom ever is talking because they only say it once, to me it was like cattle herding through a slaughter yard, they promised me flatbed home every wk and put me through classes sunday through thursday , hired me thursday, then came friday and told me i was going to glass division in nc on saturday nite, now they know nothing about glass in little rock, got to nc saturday nite met bruce and he said we would be training there for 3 to 4 wks on how to secure glass then out with a trainer for 6-8 weeks thats when i had enough and quit, hope this helps out

 

Man sorry to hear Jim................God's speed and Prayers

 

Very sorry for your loss Jim. My prayers are with you.

 

I fail to see why you quit. If you couldn't handle that, you surely wouldn't be able to cut it pulling a flatbed and dealing with the everyday life trucking presents. I would be glad they were willing to spend so much time training rather than throwing me a set of keys and say here you go after a few days. Maybe they didn't have enough freight for flatbed in your area to get you home every week so they thought putting you in glass would. I would have at least talked to them.

 

There are several things in that just don't "fit" the Maverick I know...but most important is that they switched your divisions like you say...thats just not like them, plain and simple.

They are in a bit of a pinch for glass haulers...they lost 4 more to MFS just last week...but still, I find it hard to believe they'd spring glass hauling on you like that.

And finally....you likely could have made a chunk of $$$ had you stayed. They DO have glass to haul and you could have switched to flat bed later...also, glass is specialized freight, looks good on a resume
