    @Jbond it took me about two weeks to get approved once I applied. Most of the time was waiting for Maverick to run my background check and confirm my references and previous employment.

    One thing I noticed is they keep you up to date by calling you to let you know how things are progressing, as well as keep your profile updated on their web application system.

    They may be a 'starter' company, but they seem to want to hire only decently qualified people. Instead of every steering wheel holder they can get their hands on.

    My recruiter called me yesterday and confirmed all my information and did the final setup for my orientation. They offer d to bus me there, but I decided to rent a car and drive up from Dallas. Maverick is going to reimburse me the cost of what the bus would have cost since I'm driving myself.

    Everything starts Sunday morning at 7am.

    I'm glad the day has finally arrived.

    Well seems like I'm the only one that rented a car. My roommate rode his motorcycle in, he lives only 75 miles away. Looks like there are five veteran drivers and about 16+ rookies. Everyone who rode the bus was envious of my rental car coup.

    When I arrived I got a packet with my temporary ID card, information on benefits, sleep apnea , and a log book homework packet to do for Monday.

    Today was very busy, I can't try to cover everything again as I put it in my vlog on YouTube.

    But basically we has a catered breakfast and lunch. Did a ton of paperwork on the computer including our personal info, w2, direct deposits and more.

    Also watched about 20 videos and took test on them. We also did the mpg simulator (I got 7.71mpg) as well as took our pictures for our id's.
