Maverick Transportation

we have a recruiter here!!!! Former JB Hunt reject, and has also been rejected by many women in this life... J/K Notarps----Maverick sounds like a good co.!! But dont use 'me' for ref if you dont want to ruin your 'testamony!!" LOL

 

have u heard of any loads going to iowa thats where i live . just wanting to know if it would be good for me to go with them or if i should go somewher else

 

They are my 5th driving company and by far the best. If I ever use you for a reference it will be when I am bored with this Site and want to get banned! JB? Never! Rejected by women??./ Not a chance!!!!

 

Did you say banned or jammed?

 

If you need help with that in the future, I can help! I have 'experience' in that area!!

*** You edited your post---but have 'experience' in both areas!!

 

what about the hometime at scottsboro, al ?? i know they have a terminal there, and i really would like to be home most weekends. i would need the load securement training, as i've been a gasoline hauler for 5 years....whatya think....would maverick possible be interested in me??

 

Sure they would. Even if you had exp as a flatbedder you would need their load securement training to learn the maverick way of securing and tarping. Orientation is 1 week and load securement is 1 week both are paid. I am well pleased with this company. I think you would like them!

 

I decided to bite the bullet and get my CDL at a school so I'm not owned by anyone. I'll have my CDL in two weeks and have already spoken with Maverick. I'm glad I did. i'm hearing allot of good things about the company, unlike so many others I had considered going with. I'm glad I did my homework.

I'm going Regional and should be home about 45 weekends a year, since I'm just a hair north of I-94 in Milwaukee, which is just on the edge of their hiring zone.

I have a couple of questions for those that drive for Maverick.


I read their website and the equipment sounds nice. How about a first hand opinion on that? For instance is there a microwave or fridge? Probably not huh? lol


I'm told I'll be taking my truck home. I live in the city and have no place to park a tractor and a 45' trailer. I'm sure I'm not the only driver that lives in a city. How is that little problem usually dealt with?


How much does it cost to send email from the truck?


Are there APU's on the trucks? I know they run Freightliners and the new Cascadias have some sort of HVAC that can run independently of the engine for 10 hours, but I doubt that Maverick has any of those.


Thanks in advance and have a good one!

 

No APU's yet. Fridge or microwave you have to supply. Top notch equipment with all the safety features. I don't use the in cab email. Don't know anyone that does, but it is quite pricey. Most use cells or laptops. You will need to find a place to park. You can drop the trailer if you have a kingpin lock and a letter authorizing you to drop. Home time is very good and I have been up in your neck of the woods a few times with them. So you should see home often. Good luck to you! You picked a great company!

 

I've already filled out the ap but I wish I would have talked to you prior, I would have been glad to use your driver code on it. I will certainly mention you to Tammy, who is the recruiter I have spoken with. Since I can't PM anyone, I'll keep you posted on my progress with Maverick in this thread or better yet, start a new thread in the Maverick area here. I'm sure other newbies will find it useful.


I have a couple quick questions for you if you don't mind. As for the television, how to you get it hooked up to a satellite? Local channels are as good as useless to me.

And as for a refridge, do they make them so they run on DC or do I need to spend the 150.00 on the converter someone was talking about earlier in this thread. Is there a little cubby hole for microwaves and fridges? Since I'm gonna be spending about 5-6 days a week in that rig, I'm planning on decking it out as much as possible. I'm sure you understand.
