Have to start somewhere

Hey. we still on for dinner sunday? Got the wife and kid with me. I need to head north sunday. Holler at me.

 

Hey, yes I've heard of shippers and some receivers going to this all-automated system. Once you get the hang of it, it is actually pretty nice to never have to deal with "people" anymore! HA

 

daytona 45,
hi, just joined forum today and will be starting class on 3-10-08. i understand all your anxieties, i am 61 and going to be a newbie. keep posting, i enjoy your trials and tribulations.

 

are you still home on the weekends?

 

Are you still able to get home on the weekends with this kind of money?

you are the first Maverick driver i have heard from, talked to a TMC guy the other day, but he does percentage pay.

thanks

 

I have to agree with others on here, you have gave GREAT insight as to what it is really like. Thank you.

 

K&J,
hi you guys. second post here. i am interested in who you drive for K&J, it sounds like it might be a good firm.
i have been following daytona's exploits from page one when i discovered this site and can feel his emotions running from elation to dispair to disgruntled(with maverick and dispatcher).
i am only on page 19 and can't wait to read how this story turns out in the next 12 pages.
i am 61 y.o. and am starting school on 3-10-08 if i can get 3 pre-hire notices from trucking firms. if i do then the state of michigan will pay for my training. got 1 pre-hire so far on the first day the faxes were sent out(fri). today is tu. so we will see how this goes.

 

K&J drive for Interstate Dist. out of Tacoma, Wa. They seem to be an excellent outfit except that they scrapped their student driving program. Now they only hire experienced drivers, at least 6 months OTR.

 

why did you go on your own with the training and not use Maverick's?
