    Well I am trying to get setup with Maverick in order to get some flatbed experience but they are just s darn slow. I have Arnold calling me, wanting me to come to orientation after only aday with my application. Maverck has hadmine a week, granted they made me get a notarized statement from someone not related to me swearing that I have been off work for the last 2 months and I just got it yesterday but they wouldn't even start my application processing untill I got it which kinda rubed me the wrong way. I have to get working soon so I may have to go with one of these other van companies and worry about learning flat at Landstar when I do get around to getting my truck running.
    We had a storm here yesterday and I went outside to find a 10 to 12 foot long limb laying on the ground right next to my truck...:biggrin_25524::biggrin_25524: Sometimes I hate all these trees, another foot or two and I would have been replacing a hood.

    We had pretty much come to the conclusion that they were hiding something. HE said he talked to them and they were not being very helpfull about trying to help get it started

    unfortunatly I see a scrap yard in it's future. It's worth more that way than someone will pay for it.
