After much swaying back and forth between Mav and ATS, i talked to an ATS driver yesterday, and even got to look at the truck up close.
After what he had to say, and it wasn't all bright and shiny smiles, I have decided they are the one for me. Now if I can just pass their hiring reqs.

So you do have to tarp and retarp the loads that you pick up and drop. Sorry I am trying to get some answers about TMC and Maverick.
-
so if TMC wants to sponsor me to go to C1; dont do it? I have other options that are free through Workforce Development.

Hey Michael, I'm going to have to wait until February now because me and the wife can't afford to pay bills while I'm in school, In Feb we will have enough to where I can do it. I hate having to wait! So how does that work when u go down there to Little Rock? When do they send to Newport?

Hi! I am hear in Newport,Arkansess at the CDL school with Maverick. If you can I would really recamend getting yer CDL first before you come hear. If you can pick things up good and pay attention you'll do ok. We have 40 people in our class and a new first week class just started today. There is alot of truks to use and alot of open space, the only bas side is there isent a whole lot of trainers. You will need to stick close with fellow students to have the help you need. Its an ok schho I gess. With maverick you will need to tarp but see the thing is Maveric has to pay you 25 $ everytime you tarp a load so I would think you wouldent be tarping a whole lot. A majior part is you need a cirtafide STATE birth cirtifacet. They will not give you the CDL permit packet without one. I would also recamend. Getting a CDL study book from yer DMV and read it befor you come because they only give you 2 days to study for the whole thing, mannn I was a nervice reck lol!! I gotto go to class, i'LL KEEP YOU POSTED LAT
