    My home time will be in chicago and tennessee. In my past drive job we parked truck at a close friegthliner. Just wondering because I start orientation in mid january. I started with central refer and I am glad to move on to a quality company :) I'll be doing flatbed....Nothing against refer drivers because i was one and respect the odd hours and horrible smells along with the loud truck :)

    Im truly impressed by the positive atmosphere here amongst you maverick drivers. It was all of you who sold me on Maverick.

    I Park at my friend's construction company yard. In Chicago good luck you probably have to find a pay to park spot.
    Welcome to maverick if flatbeds don't work out for you. There are always looking for people for temp control.
    I like to say if you can eat it I will not haul it.

    Ah he can park at the gary yard i guess. Lol. Truthfully there is plenty of room at the gary yard if you can have someone pick you up or you have a personal vehicle you dont mind sitting there while you're gone.

    Mav is prolly gonna want you to settle on a primary address. They arent,as they say,travel agents and dont really like routing you anywhere but home on the weekends with few exceptions. You should get this squared thru your recruiter so there are no hurt feelins. Depending on your reason and frequency of swapping hometime destinations,this may be an issue. So best to ask now.

    Yea my primary residence is in small town tennessee. We have a walmart, of course, so I was just wondering. Im not concerned with home time. I just want to run, learn,make money, and learn some more. I dont mind being out 1-2 months at a time. Thank you for responses. I was just curious.

    Yeah, I park at the local Meijer's mega-grocery store (but my family knows the GM there). You should ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ASK FOR PERMISSION PRIOR TO PARKING FOR THE WEEKEND!!!
    It would really suck to show up to get in the truck and it has been towed away. :biggrin_25524:
