New Mav driver /waving at the community Maverick

Rascal,Feel free to ask anything. Flatbedding is a different monster every load presents it's own set of challenges. Pay close attention in orentation those boys know their buisness. Welcome to Maverick. TreeStand

 

Welcome! I am a former maverick, but still feel like part of the team. There is more brotherhood among drivers there than any co I ever pulled for.

 

Treestand... dang it.. what did I tell you about user name and handle matching... notarps....

 

Welcome to Maverick.

I'll help in any way I can, anytime I can. Since you say you're new to flat bedding the best advice I can give at this point is once you get out on your own...USE THAT TELEPHONE NUMBER THEY WILL GIVE YOU!!!

Its the one for the guys that teach the securement class (Ed, Keith, Curt, James)...if you have any doubts or questions about securing a load they are the first ones to ask.

They will tell you this in orientation...great guys every one of them.

And watch your speed on exit ramps at all times...but ESPECIALLY during your road test.

 

Kinda like the Marines....Once a Maverick, Always a Maverick

 

You can say that again....

Rascal..Maverick is top notch when it comes to load securement. They have done a lot of testing and they do overboard on just about everything but thats how they protect not just freight but lives and property damage as well. (Dean shows some pretty cool pictures of accident) You never want to be that guy. Then one thing I can say is if you are like I was when I first started, by the time you get your own truck securement will not be that big of a problem. It will be load placement that will make you the most nervous. You can watch just about any driver from another comany like TMC because they have to get their weights right as well. However Maverick will fire your but or securing a lot of steel loads like a TMC driver so only emulate Maverick drivers. However we truly are a team and I have had to ask more fellow driver to let me do it myself that not. LOL Not that I don't appreciate the help but I'm kinda OCD when comes to my load securement and tarping and just like to have it done a certain way.

 

NoTarps, Harder to track me that way.

 

Your not that hard to track... after all even I know what you look like and I am just a driver...

 

Welcome to Maverick.and good luck hope to see you out on the road.
