    Do I sense animosity toward IC's? Contrary to what some think we get loaded fcfs just like company drivers. The csr screwed up and double booked that load. It happens from time to time but its not common.

    None what so ever. I actually like the fact that Maverick doesn't favor company drivers over IC's. I am thinking about going that route in a year or two after I get some experience if everything works out with Maverick. I figured the csr made a mistake, which happens. I was surprised how fast it was corrected. The load we ended up on was actually a longer run so it worked out good for everyone!

    nothing personal, but if you're too lazy to look through the posts here on the maverick section for your answers I don't think you'll make it as a flatbeder

    LOL I hear ya Jim. People are always telling us "since your in the area try _______, they are a great place to eat and stop in and see __________, it was so cool". They just don't realize a big truck can't go where most of these places are. Plus we usually don't have the time. So when telling our adventures I always say "We passed the sign for _____". You are right the scenery is beautiful. My favorite place on our route is PA except for the mountains that ruin any hope of a fuel bonus in old Bessy.
