When I was at the Maverick Motel, there was no WiFi. If you get sent to the other Hotel (too exhausted to remember it's name) it does have WiFi....
I need to call my FM then, because I'm long haul and I haven't been given 3 days for 3 weeks. They obviously don't know who I "think" I am. :)
Thanks! That's actually exactly where I've been sitting in line for about 2 hours. The WA says "No parking" , but I can't see why they wouldn't...
But when you get to Orientation, they will tell you that you just get 34 hours, just like everyone else. I don't think the recruiters are lying, I...
I'm sitting at Gerdau Charlotte in a looong line that hasn't moved in over an hour. I also have 1.5 hours on my 14. I will be out of hours before...
At the Blue Beacon outside of Knoxville. Was supposed to be home, but it took my slow noob arse an absurdly long time to secure/tarp this load of...
My guess would be that since we have an unstoppable 14 hour clock that then demands a 10 hour break, those "extra" miles from going faster don't...
Disclaimer: I've only been with Maverick since November, so anything I say is "as of/ up to now, as a noob". Having said that I can tell you how...
I'm sitting outside of..on second thought, being as everyone here was incredibly nice, I won't mention where I am. I will mention that after they...
Glad to hear school's going great for you. Not to nudge you in any direction, but I came from dry van/reefer and after driving a flatbed, I'm glad...
As Jim said, it's not difficult, just don't hit anything. When I did it in November they had two of us go out together. I drove second. Make sure...
I fully agree with this. :) Love Streets and Trips with Truck Stops Plus.
I listen to old time radio dramas from : http://archive.org/details/oldtimeradio They have Gunsmoke, Dragnet, Lucille Ball, Amos and Andy...
Sorry, I honestly don't know. As crazy as it's sounds, and I'd pretty much never recommend this anywhere else I've ever been, but I'd call a...
Regular flatbed pays 42cpm with 6 months. I'm still new, but so far respect (given and received ) seems to be expected at Maverick.
I'd kill for that kind of speed. To break down/put away 5 tarps, 6 chains, 6 binders, 6 timbers, 12 edge protectors and 51 bungees took me 2...
Survey says... Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! You nailed it sir. :)
That's me right now. Picked up my first Maverick load yesterday (actually, my first flatbed load ever). It sounded like it'd be easy to my noob...
I assure you, Big Jim isn't the guy that would need such a lesson. Also, not to gossip, but the driver stating that he couldn't help fix his mess...
It isn't bad . I'm old-ish (43) and out of shape and had no problems. Some folks were concerned about the step test, but no one failed. The step...
