    They tell EVERYONE not to call the customer but if you are professional enough to do so. . . . do it. Unless the w/a specifically says, "DO NOT CALL CUSTOMER", then why not? If they really dont want us to call the customer, why give us the phone number? Just remember you put a face to the name of the company and in some cases are our customers only face to face contact. Although its said, "Never judge a book by its cover.", most people do. Its all in the approach,

    IE: ring ring. . . hello this is blah blah blah steel inc. how may i help you?

    Ive been driving up and down this bleepity beep beep road where your bleeping mill is said to be but i cant bleeping find the filth flarn filth. give me some bleepity bleep directions so i can bring you your shiite and get the filth flarn filth outta here. . .BAD

    hello this is jw with maverick transportation, we have a load of _________ coming to you today and were just wondering if you have overnite parking available? No? ok i was told your delivery time is by appointment only? is this correct? Would you be able to confirm directions to your facility? Ok thank you. Our driver says he should be there at approximately __________o'clock. thank you and have a good day.. . .GOOD

    One great thing about this job is getting to see Friends and family as you travel around the country. I'm sitting here in Fort Collins, CO having lunch with my nephew who lives and works here. Also helps that he works at the best sandwich shop in old town. (can you say discount!). I've also had the opportunity to visit my sister, had dinner with my father in another state, don't know who I'll drop in on next.
    500 more miles tomorrow to Billings, MT. I hope I can get in ahead of the weather.

    Glad to see you're having fun out there. Seeing family members for me is ending up at the same truck stop. We had a family reunion at the TA. Could not stay long I was heading south and they were heading north.

    Ya you never have much time for anything while under load. I was truly blessed that Fort Collins was just over half way on my route and zero out of route miles!

    I tested out Monday, got a new 12 and a load to Atlanta. I dropped and got deadheaded
    250 miles home and told to call when ready to play truck driver again! It was a long 7 weeks, seeing how I didn't see home any during that time. But training is over, and it feels good to be a Maverick! Happy turkey day boys!
