    I do not know if they have any sort of "limit". There are two of us Mavericks who park there now over each weekend, and several other trucks park there-usually O/N. There are a couple of Averitt and Dick Lavy trucks there fairly regularly. When you go there ask to speak with the Store Manager. Take a picture of your pretty truck and explain to him what you are seeking permission for. The nice looking truck is a plus, I mean, who would want some dirty stinky piece of crap looking truck parked there for any amount of time? LOL! Chris and I always look sharp sitting in the lot with our pretty tarp jobs.

    snowflier, I wouldn't put too much into it. The flatbed drivers don't wave at the TCD drivers either and our trucks say Maverick on the side! I told my instructor that we must be the step children of Maverick! lol

    Although if I happen to see another Maverick truck I do wave no matter what the division. I don't make an issue of it if they don't wave back.

    Our dry van trailers or at least most of them have no decals on the side, only one trailer has writing on the very front. When I see a TCD driver I get a strange look from and no wave lol

    Snowflier, that is probably why, if the truck doesn't say Maverick on the side they might wonder why you are waving at them! Although I have had other drivers wave at my while passing I just nod my head. JXU, maybe I should say most flatbedders. I did have a few that did wave.

    How many of you guys waste your money parking at the Detroiter (Flying J) at exit 32 off I-75?

    When I first started "WAY BACK IN THE OLD DAYS" LOL of 2011, I can't remember passing ANY Maverick truck that the driver did not wave. Lately, it seems that a lot of them are not. I do not know why. Perhaps they are new and the "tradition" of waving is lost on this newer batch of trainers out there so they are not teaching their trainees that we have always been respectful to other Mavericks that pass by. I don't know, but I always wave, and feel a little let down if the Dude just whips on past and doesn't even look over HA! Maybe they are just SO FOCUSED on their driving, and I think that that is a good idea LOL.

    I always wave at every Mav driver. I like to look around and see my suroundings and see the whole picture. It makes my driving safer.
