Mavericks fireing spree....

Faber,just a quick note to you,I was hired at Mav as a student in oct 2008,at that time I thought I was going to Boot Camp! I started looking at what was going on during the week of orientation and thought this just a hiring and firing company! 4 days into the week and one of higher up's told us they had fired 40 drivers while we were there getting hired! I knew something was wrong with the picture when he said that, of course that made all 18 of us scared to death we was'nt gonna make the cut. I was gonna haul glass instead of flatbed, and Little Rock had no idea what there glass div. was all about and they told the 6 of us that were going to glass those exact words! needless to say I did not stay, once I went to N.C and talked to the supervisor there. To me Mav was running us through there L.R. office like cattle through the stock yard! Hope things work out for you....

 

I drove by their yard at the beginning of Feb, man they sure had a buttload of trucks sitting there. Most looked like they were empty, and then next to their yard was bunch of them for sale.

 

I would call 4 incidents an unsatisfactory safety record.

 

sunarab, perhaps i read it wrong but in two sentences you said you had 3 years of clean service. then said you had a few oops. so which is it? unless Maverick was driving the truck when the oops occurred, they are not responsible for your oops, you are. Henceforth you are responsible for your own DAC. They were and still continue to be a great company. What would you have done if the company was yours, profit was non existant? Any smart businessman would research where they could cut their losses the most and the fastest? I'm glad in these economic times you were able to find something better and hope whomever you are working for now are more tolerable to your oops, as long as its nothing major of course.
