    Hargis ive git a couple of questions I paln on going to school in August early September I am looking into maverick and melton to be honest with u I like Melton better but they just dont have good home time and another concern of mine is if I start with maverick and I decide to quit would another company wanna hire me since all I have drove is a auto truck and probably wont be good at shifting but I do like that maverick gets you home most weekends any advice would help cause I think I can go with any company cause I have no criminal record no driving violations other than a seatbelt ticket just my work history aint the best ive had 4 jobs in the past 3 years but one of the company's I worked went out of business and the other was just a seasonal job to help them over Christmas if that helps thanks in advance

    Work history should be good most companies only look for stability over the past year they can tell alot by that. Automatics vs manuals most companies will not hold that against you they will give you a road test and some may want you to go out with a trainer to freshen up on the shifting. So no I would say other companies will not hold that against you. As far as the choice between Maverick or Melton I have heard happy and unhappy drivers at both companies. Freight really dictates alot of the home time when and how long you get to stay. Talk to your drivers to see how well things line up with what recruiter are telling you and as far as Maverick one big perk for me is they treat you as a person not a number.

    I ain't had any problems staying warm in the winter even this past winter in negatives my Apu would throw enough heat to make you sweat. I might be missing your question on that one.
