Maverick transportation? Hubby is thinking of applying.

Is he with a trucking company??... I've never heard of a school that would send you across country...

it sounds like he got his cdl through a trucking company.

 

I didn't go out with a trainer, but everyone I know that did said they either got home or stayed in a motel on Maverick's dime. Note, they said they got home or stayed in a motel, but I don't remember ever hearing the 'every weekend" part. It depends on which division you're in.

I'm not certain how it works during training as to how they pair you up. I'd ASSUME you'd be placed with someone in the same division as you were hired for. Where you live is also going to have a major impact on how often you get home. Maverick isn't perfect, and I have my issues with them, but they won't lie to you.

 

What CDL school?? Is it a company acadamy (i.e.-Swift or PAM/USA Driver Solutions)?? Is he learning Flatbed or driving a van?? If he is interested in Maverick, is he wanting to do Flatbed, Glass, or TCD (Reefer/Dry Van)?? I would say that if he HAS his CDL now, and wants to be a Maverick, he needs to apply ASAP, as the applicant line is pretty big here. It can take a while to get through the application process, and our company is very very picky on who it brings in to orientation. If he is wanting to pull a skateboard or do glass, then HE WILL NEED to go out with a trainer after he goes thru the barn (Load securement training after orientation). If his trainer lives like within 150 miles of his home, he can go home during the weekend hometime that his trainer gets. TCD freight is "hands free." LOL. If he wants "Hands free" then he does not want to do flat or glass. Maverick re-imburses up to $3000 for CDL school last I knew, that is the program that they have me on now. Read JimTheHut's thread called "HEADING FOR LITTLE ROCK" for a two year+ up to the day running story of a Maverick flatbedder's experience from the start. Very highly recommended. AND, if he wants to do glass, add RazorRange's thread recently started called "My Maverick Experience", it too is from day one up to today from a Glass Hauler's perspective. The TCD guys get on here once in a while, and there are a few threads in here about their experiences also.

 

That premier trucking is England's school...it's a scam...

he should apply to maverick ASAP and as soon as he obtains his cdl he should make a split for maverick...

It will not get any better with England..but much worse.

 

I applied at maverick last year and they seem like a good company and they have some good information that made me almost go. The reason why I decided to not go was I wanted to be home most weekends and only way I could do that was to do flatbed and I was only interested in the reefer division.

 

Hey Corysti how often you getting home and are you in reefer division? Also are you located near a terminal?

 

A friend of mine went to maverick.he parked out in the front office area. Crossed the grass and went inside.
They met him at the door and told him to leave. He ask why;the owner said (can you not read?the sign says stay off grass apparently you cant follow instructions we dont need you. True story.

 

Yes and they are very serious about the grass!! Ive been a maverick for going on 2 yrs.i love it wife loves it,
Im in the (rsw) im home every weekend if not 2 or 3 times during the week.the pay is decent but if you need more then you have a choice to stay out a extra week or so.i really have no complaints about maverick at all!
