I'm going with Maverick: newbie trainee blog

Mine is 6' 6" all the way back.

 

Stuge, yes, you can stand up straight in the sleeper. I drove 18 months with Maverick and the only problem I had with the sleepers is when they had the old Century mid-roofs. I'm 6' and you would have to stand with your head bowed down or kicked over to one side. But the Columbia's they got are XL's, and you actually got a few inches of head room. They are pretty nice inside.

 

I just got my truck and its a midroof and im 6'4'' and i stand up with plenty of room.

 

Any more updates????

 

maverick sucks man! whats the point of having a training programe if you gonna fail folks on the road test for something like that...new add for maverick must have 2 years verifiable exp. otr...what?

 

They tell you what it takes to pass. You don't listen they don't want you.

 

Hey Notarps, hows freight now a days? I've heard that flatbed is slowing way down. How are you miles? One of the reasons I am asking is that I am starting school soon and ave been told that I have a job at Maverick when I get my CDL. I would be going to the Middletown Oh facility.

Thanks for your time.

 

Your welcome. Right now I am just like everyone else. I was running better this time last year. Now I am just waiting it out. It will pick up. Last year I was glad to slow down some after busting my tail all summer. The break felt good. This time I have slowed down a little more than I care too. By the time you get through school and finish your time with a trainer we should be back to normal.

 

I am thinking of going with maverick specialized. After reading this post, I am kind of nervous about going to orientation. I just finished cdl school and would not start orientation until sometime in Jan. My shifting is ok but not that great. I sometimes grind gears and have a little bit of trouble downshifting in a hurry when turning or on exit ramps off the interstate or when traffic. Nothing to extream, Im sure a lot of new drivers have a difficult time with this too. Its something that I am confident that I will master with time and more practice. My question is does maverick let you choose wheather you road test in an automatic or manual truck. I would much rather prefer an auto on the road test. Would it be possible for a person to choose which type you test in. Also, how picky are they in regards to shifting on the road test. Keep in mind I am fresh out of CDL school and need as much practice as I can get.
