Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

yep. i hadn't heard of what i mentioned before last week and did some asking around and suggested to whom has the authority to do so, "you might want to look into this". When the student currently assigned to the super trucker (i wont even refer to him as an instructor) was describing to my student what was going on, i was quite upset about it and made the decision to do so after hearing another Maverick talking with drivers over at the hotel on the compound about what turned out to be the same guy (super trucker) doing some of the same stuff. This student was supertruckers first. His current student is his 5th, and hopefully his last. Especially since there is a waiting list of Maverick drivers who have already completed the MIT to become instructors, just waiting on a trainer truck to become available. Most students do keep in touch with thier trainers after evaluating out, a few of mine, still call me on a regular basis and they dont even work for Maverick anymore. But like i stated before, unless someone is willing to step forward and let the powers that be know what's going on. . .authority remains blind, and supertrucker continues to have slaves in his truck teaching themselves.

 

Day one in the books, day two is well underway. I have to say I'm very impressed with Maverick and extremely glad I chose to be here. Job offers happen on Wednesday's now and I can't wait to be an official employee.

 

I put up with my first trainer for a week then fired him on the spot. He was dangers rude careless and I could go on. Maverick told me to document everything. As I was taking notes every day this was easy. I put together a 30 page document complete with photographs of bald tires he wanted me to pull. What did Maverick do? Nothing, the guy is still training for them.
My second trainer was excellent.

 

FYI: Today is a VERY bad day to be getting a load at the Ft Smith yard. I've been waiting in line almost 2 hours & there are drivers on ever pole still waiting to get loaded & at least another 8 trucks behind me. There are even trucks from other companies here.

 

Those are good days,it means freight is moving

 

Two hours??? Heck, thats a GOOD day at AK!!

 

Well, dropped the weekend load in Coshocton, OH this morning, got to reload there. 3 17" skinny coils around 15K lbs each, loaded shotgun. Took them to P Strip in Tipp City, OH. Then down to Middletown for another reload. 2 coils headed for Chattanooga, TN. Made it to Pilot off I75 @ #36 with just 8 mins to spare.... And BTW, this Pilot is nearly impossible for spreadaxles to park unless you get here by say, 6-7pm. Tough & not very truck friendly lot FYI.

 

I head out Friday for Little Rock, cant wait to join the team.

 

Ummm yeah.....parked here waiting to do a swap. Went in to use the restroom, came out to see Roelh parked on my hook/bumper......######
