Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

The old and the crippled and not to mention the lazy pull reefers. And I'm awful glad that they do without their work I would not be able to go buy groceries. But before I pull a reefer I would rather see my sister in a whorehouse. No old self respecting steel hauler would retire to a refer. Like I say if you can eat it I won't haul it.

 

Will hit another good week 2500 miles. Ran down to the the Carolinas. Brought a load of pipe back to Louisville. Then picked up a load for central states in Michigan city. Darn near got ran over by a door swinger in Tennessee. Luckily I was watching and see him flying through the parking lot and was able to run out of the way in time. He slammed on his brakes and stopped and was apologizing. I asked him what was so important that he has to fly through the parking lot at that speed. He apologized again but could answer my question.
Walking through a truckstop is like being on a recon patrol. Always looking to be ambushed and attacked not to mention ran over. LOL maybe that's why I'm old and never been robbed or ran over yet. LOL
I wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a happy new years.
Drive safe have a great holiday and enjoy the ride.

 

Hi everybody. Im leaving for littlerock sat. Can anyone advise me of anything I need to take besides my safety boots?

 

An open mind and great attitude will get you through most of it. Good luck

 

A page or two back on this thread (i think) someone posted a good list. Sleeping bag,pillow and work clothes enough for at least 7days plus steel toed boots would be a minimum.

 

Congrats on getting the opportunity to go to Maverick Orientation blueknightnc14! I just went through the orientation and load securement training, am in final week with my Driving Instructor....with all of this fresh in my mind, I agree whole-heartedly with Seawheeler, open mind & great attitude is PARAMOUNT. Also, read back a few pages on this thread, there is some great advice about what you will soon be experiencing. Most importantly understand this, there are eyes and ears on you at almost all times. You are being observed from the start (not to say they are spying or imposing- or even looking for a reason to boot you out). This is done very professionally, and it is done for a very good reason. Work hard, try hard, study hard, and perform to your best ability...and be a great person to be around. That is my advice. You will do fine. Good luck, heck, I may even see you out there as I will be in NLR next Tuesday or Wednesday to complete my training (more likely than not...)

Hi Sarge & Sewerman!!

 

Decent year Jim
