    I applied to Maverick but they said it would be 4-5 weeks before a trainer would be available,Flat Bed, but they can get me in specialized in a week??? Can they not still get poeple to come in to and stay in the Glass hauling?? I have read some of the nightmare stories about how the division was when they took it over! Just wondering if its still that bad??

    I got a buddy of mine thats running for Maverick. He said if it wasnt for the 14 days out and only two home he would be doing glass. The boys in glass are getting new pay raise starting Jan. 1. Its good money. Im thinking bout doin it myself. They say if you are goin through or near the house you are able to go home for your 10 hr. Ive talked to a guy hear in Rock Hill, S.C. that runs glass. He is home every night or every other night. I dont think its all that bad.

    I believe Maverick is pushing there specialized division right now. I've heard several drivers that talked to recruiters that were pushing the specialized division. Starting Jan 1 the division will get a pay raise. This should bring the drivers pay in the division up to what the flat division is makeing. I train for Maverick and I will be available for another student in about 2 weeks. You will make about 45k - 48k your first year if you haven't diven flat b4. If you have experiance, you should make 52k - 55k your first year in the US division.

    Hey PapaBear,

    I will be coming to orientation in my hometown of Laurinburg this Sunday. I'm really nervous, but after a tour in Iraq, I'm pretty sure I can handle it. Is there any advice you or any of the other MS guys (Jimmy P, Tinbender) can give me about Orientation and just being successful. Now I admit, I have very limited driving experience but I'm a fast learner. Thanks.
