Maverick Driver general bs thread

Ryan, Thanks for this information.

 

Can someone tell me what the weekend guarantee pay is all about there at Maverick?

 

Dan, I just met an IC named Steve that said that he thought he knows you and your truck. Met him tonight in Denny's at the Flyin hook at #2 in Franklin, KY.

 

Does the weekend pay miles apply to all divisions?

 

Only the OTR divisions. Dedicated divisions no, it does not apply. So, if you are in one of them, do not get yourself hung-out!

 

Thanks for the update.

 

Hey, I resent that, I like my swinging doors lol.

But you're right. Maverick is willing to maintain the equipment, but they depend on us to tell them when something is wrong. The load I have is getting me home, and its not due until tomorrow. I could easily be there today, and get almost an extra full day at home before delivering. But I'm sitting in NLR right now because the reverse lights on my tractor are not working. I'd love to have that extra day at home, but keeping Maverick informed about when my equipment needs maintenance is not only good sense, but it is part of my job description.

I can't understand how a driver can move down the road with something not working correctly. It drives me insane and raises my blood pressure every time I approach a weigh station, praying for that green PrePass light, when I know there's something wrong with the truck or trailer. And that's just when I'm on my way to get it fixed... I'd lose all my sanity if I was doing that for 1200 miles.

 

Had a small hole in my tarp but was getting a re-power to get me home for some R&R so I just let 'er ride. Let the next guy fix it if he notices.
