Any Questions for a Driver Trainer for Maverick?

That's a good one. Have a good weekend . got to pickup load going to the Oklahoma. at 7pm today.

 

Don't really have the desire myself to be a skate boader but, a good trainer is a good trainer, no matter what they pull. Thanks Sarge for being one of the good ones and in being willing to help out.

 

yeah but did u back in there??? or was that a dropped trailer????? JUST KIDDING!!!!!!

 

Do students have any say in what trainer they end up with? My first request would be a non-smoker. This is a big deal in my book, sorry to say. Also, what are Maverick's trucks governed speed? Do you think they will increase the fuel bonus as fuel prices continue to rise?

 

Yes you can request a non-smoker. trucks at 68. No on fuel bonus.

 

why does maverick want eobrs so badly? i guess thats my only question for now. lol...

 

SARGE: Sounds like you have your act together. The trucking industry is always in need of good trainers! You did good in fuel bonuses in one year with them. I made a little over $800.00 with J.B Hunt in fuel bonuses with them for one year. I can't imagine making over 3k in a year off bonuses. Good job.

I have always wanted to pull flatbed. I have 3 years doing van OTR.

My question is for someone like me that has no idea how to strap down all that stuff. How much trouble is it to learn, does Mav. hire experienced drivers and train them to tarp and strap and everything that goes along with it?

I am not a body builder but am in good physical condition.

Do you choose to run 57 mph or is that what the trucks are governed at?

 

I am not sarge, but when I was with them my truck was governed at 70. It has a program that allows the driver choices. If you can maintain the expected MPG's you got speed. If not the truck is programmed to castrate itself. I would run about 60-65 loaded and 60 empty. I always got good bonuses by low idle, and good routing. They will teach you everything you need to know about load securement and tarping.
