Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

Not EVERY weekend but most. If any driver tells you every weekend he's lying. Dont expect every weekend.

 

Hubby is in flatbed and I'll NEVER say every weekend

 

Well that stinks, I really wanted to be a truck driver but maybe it's not for me, I can handle being gone all week and home on the weekends but I don't think I could take being in a truck for two weeks lol. I just really wanted a career. I went to school for criminal justice and cannot for the life of me get a police job, I've been trying for three years. I can't keep working for ten bucks an hour the rest of my working life. So I thought maybe tricking was the next best thing, hell they make more then cops do! Well back to square one I reckon!

 

Sad to hear that but best to figure it out now and not later. Im in flats us division and average 46-48 wknds a year at home.

 

I went 4 months home every week, then all of a sudden I've been hung out 3 out of 7 weeks...

 

Are y'all ever able to take time off? Let's say you want to go to FL or something and want to leave on a Thursday night and won't be home until Monday so you wouldn't leave out til Tuesday. Would they ever do that if you didn't have vacation time?

 

That is a yes/no answer and would be based on time at Maverick,the reason for the request etc. Yes time off other than the weekend can be arranged.

 

Well that makes me feel a little bit better

 

I was only with them for 6 months, and I was able to schedule time off no questions asked. I was told 3 special requests per quarter. Once I special requested to be home Wednesday evening till Monday morning at 10 (spent a long weekend at the lake)... They had a load delivering 15 minutes from my house on Wednesday, and told me to let them know when I was ready to roll Monday. Also requested to be home for all three of my childrens birthdays with no problems. I can't imagine a better otr trucking company personally.

 

So you delivered the load on Wed then went home after that for a long weekend??
