Maverick .... from a wife's perspective

fog, deer, trucks, not good combo they cant see u, u cant see them.

comment wasnt taken by me as smug and hopefully you wont take mine as being smug or condescending but the position of the shifting paddle on the steering column i can oly think of the 2 oclock position being used because of the 10 and 2 hand position on the steering wheel. that and to keep it from being bumped by the drivers legs? I really have no idea why
I just like to try to figure out why things are set up or done certain ways

Anything new is going to feel foreign and if you drive it in manual you will eventually improve and master whatever you are trying to do. Never give up trying to improve. Especially if it could potentially jump you to the next higher fuel bonus level

 

I would say that freight has increased and Maverick is trying to balance the number of drivers they are hiring with the number of drivers they are expecting to lose for whatever reason when freight slows down this winter. To the best of my knowledge Maverick is still looking for 6 mos OTR exp and clean DAC so to advertise in magazines that experinced drivers are exposed to is just common sense.

 

Teamwork its contagious and the right type of illness to have so Bravo chap.....Bravo. RC wife I can also give you my cell # if RC would like to contact me. I know he is in contact with sewerman and cant think of a better person from which to get advise. He knows his stuff especially his routing, I call him Randal Mcnally and we both get a good laugh. He's one of my very good friends and we call each other daily so RC definately has a good contact there.

 

LOL. thats more questions than on the SAT. call recruiting sir. dont want to misinform anyone.

LOL what did a guy say as he flew by me on I-40...."Maverick, always on the road, always in the way." RC Wife...... We're everywhere!

 

Welcome to the team. Hope to meet him soon.

 

Couple of problems with Preloaded Trailers with Maverick.
1. Driver that dropped the trailer there in the first place passed the problems with that trailer, ie lights not working, bad tires, etc on to whomever gets it next.
2. Whomever Preloads the trailer is not employed by Maverick and does not secure the load, "The Maverick Way" so whatever has been done if anything at all, has to be removed and redone properly
3. Preloaded trailers are supposed to be left empty so tarps, boards, have to be transferred from your current trailer to the one you are picking up. There are usually some things not to exclude trash that if you choose to dispose of it properly rather than haul it around with you has to be removed before you can transfer equipment.
4. Damage caused by loaders to the trailers. Dragging the trailers across the yard flatspotting the tires, bashing up the bumper, rub rails, etc. breaking the landing gear because it wasnt raised before the trailer was moved. etc etc etc

 

that was me re the higher rpms when it shifts in automatic. stick with the manual especially if hes in an 05. just takes practice and it will improve his MPG

Re the washbay closed Out of prewash perhaps? repairs? dunno. he can call the shop at the yard and ask though, they might tell him.
