    Sounds cool...just getting into this industry myself. Nice to talk to some folks that have been doing it for a bit. Hopefully I will get approved by the hiring board at Maverick and get started soon. I may look at more local work down the road, but for now, just want to get started with a good company. Who knows, maybe Maverick will have some more regional work up my way some day in the future as well.

    Best of Luck, as I said I can't help with Maverick but if you have any general knowledge questions, I'll share what I can. I get home every 6 weeks or so. Going to be there for Oktoberfest in Newark! Love some German Beer! LOL

    I am pretty happy here. I get left alone. I am doing a 34 at present because in the 7 days since my last one I have driven 4150 miles and bumped 3 docks. Once to load, once to unload, and again to reload. Doesn't get much easier.

    Not a lot of restrictions, very friendly people. Over all a great atmosphere.
     
    Danae Thanks this.

    Very likely go directly out with trainer. May not be same day but likely within a day or two. Very unlikely that you will go home between orientation and trainer.
