Maverick Transportation

called today said I need my cdl for flat bed or I can go into the glass division and get them there.

 

Sucks huh! I hate waiting. I'm gonna go to school in Feb. I already have my class b so hopefully all I'll have to do is take my combination vehicles test. I've already passed it once so no problem. I guess I need to call Mav back and check in, the recruiter never called me back to tell me if I was approved or not.

 

Congrats Big Pimpin!

 

Yea but read up on the glass hauling I've only seen bad things about it. but I think they start at 40 cents a mile now.

 

I thank you any word foryou yet?

 

I would say that more than half the drivers out there have a cobra 29. It's on sale at the Pilot truck stops this month for $79. cobral 25 would also work. On sale this month for $59. Also if your just starting, wait to buy a laminated map. you can find them on the road now for $20. I am currently a trainer for Maverick. If anyone has any questions for me, let me know.

 

Maverick just anounce a pay raise starting in january for the specialized division. They will start at .45 for expericanced glass haulers and .41 for students.

 

papabear are you a trainer for specialized or for the flat bed division. in the specialized division are the loads already tarp and ready to go or do you have to load and tarp them yourself.

 

I read alot of loads are already tarped but you still have to tarp some.
hey papabear do you know if they cover any meals at orientation and do you get a trainer from orientation or do you have to go home first? I'm supposed to be in little rock jan. 6th.

 

You are in ky you should be in the US div. They feed you once a day if I remember right except for the last day. You should get a trainer before you head home. No loads are pretarped in the US div. Some are preloaded, but if they need tarped you do it unless it is a trailer swap.
