maverick or Prime

Thanks for the tip American-Trucker,

On the Lone Star Transportation. My last year on the road was 2004
So I don't know if they would be interested in someone without a refresher course.Been in the office world for the last 3 and a half. It sounds like a great place to work . I guess you would have to watch out for those low BRIDGES. AAGGHH

 

we only have 262 trucks there too small to care about the stupid stuff big career care about. I had a 67 yr old guy in my oreintation class who had retired 5 years earlyer but had to go back to work and they hired him

Its worth a call, worst they can say is no lol


American Trucker

 

I'll do it American -Trucker

By Golly , Like you said.
They can laugh in my face for only having inside Texas haul experience
If the answer is the same - A person starts to think to themseves that
Intra-state drivers all wind up workin places like.... rent A Center
(a fate worse than Death)
Hey....I looked at Lone Star's ad and it said something about a yard being in Gainesville Tx. If this is true , than it's a well kept Secret. I am about 40 mi. from Gainesville

Grindem

 

we have 2 terminals in Gainesville, 1 in Fort Worth, 1 in Lareado, 1 in Houston, 1 in Pharr, we have like 50 terminals....90% of them are in TX lol

You have to have your cdl already, but do not need experience. I did not find the stress test to.be unreasonable. It is a good representation of what you run into. On a day to.day.basis. hand holding is only allowed in the sleeper birth...lol
Maverick.is an excellent company. Good luck in your search!

 

I just sent an email to Lone Star...I'm not saying I'm going anywhere (but then I just might)...it never hurts to hear what they have to say.

Always gotta keep an eye out....don't wanna miss an opportunity.

 

Just my two cents worth. I have a friend working for Prime. He's been there a year and a half in temp control. He's ready to leave, but grateful for the opportunity they gave him. He may come over to Maverick as he wants to go flat. Also, I'm making more money at Maverick then he is at Prime, and getting home 10 times more often.

 

Is it true at lonestar you have to provide your own dunnage and tarp repair kit?
How long have you been there north American.truckers?

 

Lone Star pays 48-50 cents per mile to haul their level 4 loads (wind energy stuff)....

Maverick is paying me 57 cents per mile to haul combines, dozers, etc. and 47 cents per mile for non-OD loads...you do the math.

Lone Star is OFF my list.

 

Ridgerunner, how do you get into Mavericks heavy haul? It's a pretty small group isn't it?
