Maverick Transportation

my app was approved..just waiting on orentation...anyone have any idea how long it usually takes to get a call or email?...my app was approved on the 5th of this month

 

Just short of forever. No, not really just seems like it. I'm sure you'll hear from them with in the week. If not call your recruiter. The get space availability reports on Mondays. Good luck

 

Leaving from Nashville to Little Rock for orientation in about two hours. It seems my boxer Hugo disagrees with Maverick's no pet policy. As I was packing yesterday and had my back turned, he tried to stow away in my bag. These are the things that make it tough to leave loved ones for prolonged periods.

A special thanks to Sarge, No Tarps and Jim The Hut for your valuable insight, great posts and willingness to help others. That is the attitude I will bring with me to Maverick!

 

goalie,

keep us informed on how the training goes.....if i get a call maybe ill see you down there...thats all im waiting for right now.....

 

My boxer thinks the same thing lol. However having had pets on the truck with another company I realize that its better for them to be home. If they need a vet its very difficult to find one close in an emergency that you can get a truck into. I wont go thru that again so I leave my dog home.

 

I thought you could logout for your personal driving. Since you are a lease operator.

 

Best of luck to you!

 

can someone tell me how long training lasts a day...like 7 to 4..for example.....and is it 3 weeks back to back..or do they give you a off day...thx

 

Thats not the problem. The problem is finding a place to safely drop the trailer within reasonable distance of a vet. Then hope the vet is a good one since you have not had any experience with him. We lost a dog after he got poisoned and the vet had zero clue how to treat it. He treated it as a allergic reaction. We were in the middle of nowhere South Dakota and our dog paid the price later when our vet discovered he had kidney failure from the poisoning but it was too late to do anything. If he had been treated right to begin with his chances would have increased dramatically. For future reference to anyone with pets on the truck,dont let your animals out at a rest area in Minnesota. Thats where our dog was poisoned,intenionally by the state,which sprayed a chemical on the grass to keep dogs and cats off of it. This chemical is suppose to cause minor irritation so that animals dont eant to go near the grass but if the animal licks it off their body its deadly!!

 

got the call..i head to the rock on the 22nd to start on the 23rd.....thanks jim the hut...no tarps...cheeseburger...seawheeler....and everyone else that answered my questions.....looking forward to a career as a sucessful truck driver...i believe i have made a good choice on which company to begin my career with...once again ...thx everyone
