    Never heard of them? You will.

    Still waiting to hear about them all these years later.


    Sorry, can't help with your question.

    Thanks for the response. I have been asked to start for them next week and am not one of those "neck down individuals", I have two years toward my PHD. Wondering if this will be worth my time in just starting out. Spoke with Maverick and they are still responding. Again thanks for the input and if you know of any other info it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for you help. I too have wondered where these computers are being sold? Have seen one or two at JCJC in Ellisville, Ms., Howards headquarters is located there as well as the transportation center.

    From what's been discussed on here previously they haul transformers, which I believe they manufacture. What I gather is they haul transformers out, and find loads to get you back. I see them up here in western PA pretty regularly.

    I have an uncle that just started with them the 1st wk of November. They haul transformers, lumber and steel. You have to attend a week long training in Miss and from there you're assigned a trainer. Expect to be out two wks on the road. He normally gets in on Fridays and leaves back out on Sunday morning. If i'm not mistaken he said you get a flat pay of 450 a wk with trainer and once you completed your training its .41 a mile. By the way the trucks are automatics.

    i love automatics. i have 1 & not a problem with it, but it's a 3 pedal auto, not a 2. people think the 2 pedal auto has no clutch which is untrue; it has a centrifigual clutch just like a car
