My Maverick Experience

It was a big change but it was definitely for the better.

They have yet to lie to me about anything. The biggest problem I run into its other drivers that work for the company who are too lazy to maintain their equipment and willing pass the problems onto the next driver.



Here is my current load. Heading to Barrie, ON for delivery tomorrow. Off it weren't for the fact that I can drive for 13 hours in Canada instead of the US 11 I wouldn't be able to make it.



Wasn't fun to tarp it. The front was easy, there was no good way to make the back look as nice.

The reason its loaded those way is they were originally going to put 2 more racks on the back until the forklift operator dropped one onto the other and shattered all of the glass. They had already loaded and I had strapped down those 4 so I told them to leave it and just hoped for the best.

I checked and it is pretty much center loaded but the front is twice add heavy as the racks in back.

Total weight of load is 38k. Front half is 25k, back half is 12k

Anybody want to guess my axle weights?

 

11.9k steers
31.9k drives
25k spread

My current load is steel tubing going to Parker Ford, PA. If my lumber tarp had been 4 feet longer I would've only had to use one tarp for the load

 

I was not on the OH turnpike today. That's going to be tomorrow. I didn't very loaded and tarped until almost 2030. I was parked at the Flying J by 2100.
