    Not to bust in on your post but.....I'm a company driver for Schneider Bulk and wanting to change over to flatbed with Maverick. I have 5 mths OTR and wanting to switch ASAP!!! ( Can't stand getting screwed over by Schneider anymore.) With the Exp I have,does anyone know if I would still have to go through 4-6 weeks of training with a trainer?

    Yes you will but that will be a bit of a blessing as it will give you real world experience.

    You will also get $500 (I think) a week while in training so that could be a raise right off the bat!

    Thanks for the info so far guys! I should be starting my CDL classes by weeks end, and I just found out that Maverick has recruiters that stop at the school I will be attending. I am getting excited and hope to talk to a recruiter face to face soon. I can't wait for things to start taking shape, my current job is not hacking it any more.

    Not sure about having to go out with a trainer, but you would have to do the orientation and Load Securement training. If I were you, once you got thru that, I'd go out with a trainer for at least a week or two anyways. Call Mason at recruiting, he will be straight with you and give you any answer you want. He will not mislead you.
