Recently I took a job at a Lowe's Home Improvement store. The job was driving a class B tandem axle flatbed straight truck with a Moffett...
Thanks. I like driving tractor trailer and have no problem with either tractor trailer or straight truck. I was hoping to drive a tractor trailer...
That is plan A. I hope to be at this employer for a long time. I hated OTR, not tractor trailer. I don't think I'd ever want to go OTR again but...
Gotcha. I just want to make sure I don't wind up unhireable if I were to later apply for a class A job. It might be years or never before that...
The class B job I just got seems like a great gig. I hope to stay there and do it for a long time, but I always want keep as many options open as...

Thanks for answering what you can. Do they have driver facing cameras?
@h82bbad I see you are with Maverick. Can you answer any of these questions?
I want to know about their equipment- Do they maintain equipment well? How often do they PM? Do they run tires/brakes to DOT minimum? Do the...
Any current or former Maverick drivers here? I have some questions about them I'm hoping someone can answer.
I believe you. I have no intention of leaving trucking. I know I'm young and inexperienced. Thats why I went into this as a company driver and not...
Lmao, I'll give it to you, that was pretty funny.
Thanks for the advice. I want to make clear that I'm not claiming this company is the "worst company ever", or that other people haven't put up...
