    What's Maverick's policy on parking? Can you park at a truck stop or do they prefer you park it at your house?

    Either or. Keep in mind if you are dropping the trailer and bobtailing home, 1. They want a king pin lock on the trailer. And 2. Maverick does not recognize personal conveyance bobtailing home. We're on elogs.

    Maverick tries to pair up students with instructors that live close enough so when the instructor gets home, the student can go home as well. Maverick also tries to get its flatbed division drivers home on the weekends but that doesn't always happen. If I read it right, your wife is due to give birth late February? You do realize its a two week orientation and a minimum of 21 days in the trainer truck if you've no prior experience.

    Yes I am aware of the training period. Just talked with the folks over in little rock today and looks like there's gonna be about a month wait before I could come on board. So in the meantime I got a local job that's gonna keep me busy.

    Not sure if there is one but you have to have the time remaining on your clock to do so.
