Glass Unit Training

That a great run. That's what I call drive sleep drive sleep are we there yet. LOL drive safe and enjoy the ride.

 

I should have went to glass. I'm not getting home but every other weekend in flatbed. Wtf!! I even sat in a truck stop for three days over new years weekend. Maverick might be a good company, but the hometime doesn't measure up to their claims.

 

Hopefully it..will get better.:hang in there.

 

Thanks Jim! Oh I'm not quitting, I've come too far in the last 3 months. Just a gripe that's all....

 

My husband is a flatbedder for Maverick and other than the 6(?) weeks he spent with his trainer, he has only missed 1 weekend of home time and he got his own truck on October 13, 2011. I know, that means he has not been with Maverick very long but that is the facts of HIS home time experience. Your experience might be different depending on your location and how the freight has been moving. I see you are in Mint Hill, NC - not sure how far that is from the Laurinburg, NC terminal - my husband and I live about 20 minutes away from the NLR terminal.

 

I understand that it is frustrating. I have not experienced it, but I know how you must feel. Make sure to convey those feelings respectfully to your fleet manager.

 

I feel your pain. Been there done that hack last year January February same thing for me. Some years better some years worse but January February March is the worst time for flatbeding. I stay running fine just sometimes not back to the house.
Like Jim said talk to your FM.
And Christmas to New Year's is always bad. That's why I have never worked between those two days in over 25 years.
And don't worry there are not picking on you being a new guy. Heck,I am black hat and I still get hung out. And don't you know black cats always get home at Friday by five and don't have to leave till Monday at seven. LOL
just hang in there Steve things will all work out in the end.
Drive safe and enjoy the ride.

 

All I can say is sweet.
