Maverick Driver general bs thread

Could not have said it better myself.

 

Yeah, leaving out is hard most of the time. Getting back is always fun though.

 

Another noob question. I see that I can connect to WiFi on my Quallcomm, but of course they all want a login. Does Maverick have some sort of account with Flying J/pilot or do you have to buy time?

 

My unit seems to only work at TA and anyplace that has Free Wi-Fi

 

There are a few pilots with free WiFi you can get on but no if you got to buy it an account at the rest

 

Was anyone on here in Fort Smith Ar today. Looks like you picked up at Gerdau. Anyway I saw a Macerick rig heading that way this morning.

 

At Charlotte Pipe in Monroe to pick up a pre-loaded trailer. Looks like we also get 2 flat tires to go with it. Trash is one thing 2 tires is a whole different ball game. Needless to say a micro will be sent in. Hubby is pissed.

 

Well. found a note the driver left. Tires were from a different trailer and he was told by Dave Rack at Gary to just leave them with this trailer. Grrrrrr We hardly ever get by a terminal to get rid of them.

 

Flat tires are the drivers responsibility, I hauled them around for thousands of miles. What they did to you is 100% BS. Good thing you have the names.

 

I have hauled tires around for 5 weeks before since I hardly ever get to a terminal either. I have also been told to leave one at Charlotte Pipe before by my temporary FM if I didn't have room to take it. I strapped it to the headache rack instead. They really need a better system for those of us who never get by a terminal. The last tire I had changed out at TA and was told it was like $10 or something to dispose of it. I will probably just pay out of my pocket next time. I'd rather do that then carry it for 5 weeks and move it to 4 or 5 different trailers! I actually now carry some 1" motorcycle straps just for strapping a tire to the headache race since I have to do it so often!
