Nothing against Maverick but in my opinion it’s always better to get your CDL on your own, with a school that teaches in a manual transmission truck. If you’re going to do it, why not go all the way? Don’t put your eggs in one basket with a company contract and an automatic restriction. You never know what the future holds.
Well brother you helpped me. I just applied will be out of class here in few weeks and of all the companies thats came through with your videos i think it would be an awesome place to work
I’m looking at Maverick and one other company. I appreciate what you do here, it helps me know what questions to ask. I’ll be starting near the end of the year.
@@BigTrucking I didnt have many options for driving schools close to where I live. Now Im making over 4 times what I was before I got my cdl so I'm happy about that.
My dad drove with Maverick for 10 years. His handle was Woody. I’m in the process of going to school for my CDL, then going to become a driver. I’ve been looking at Maverick, but don’t wanna immediately go there. I want to go there after I get enough experience with driving.
@@BigTrucking Cause I previously tried to go to Maverick but got denied because one of my old bosses didn’t like me, and because of that one, I was turned away.
@danielabernathy6123 companies are not supposed to give bad reviews. The only thing HR should be saying is length of employment that is all. Your former boss is an idiot. Unless you're not telling the full story?
Thats essentially what is happening to me right now with prime over cpap i had to part failures on my cpap and couldnt use it while chasing those parts now and wound up on the non compliant list twice and because of the i got told im being let go
So im looking at mavrick tranning cdl program and my big question is how is the training pay and do you get paid while in class or only when your driving
Don't kid yourself son, no one is being watched like you are...with a camera trained on you day and night...it's the Truman Show! You can be damn sure that the CEO of Maverick would never tolerate a camera mounted on his desk...watching him and recording all that he does...that is just reserved for little people like you...who have surrendered your rights to the company. lol@@BigTrucking
@@BigTrucking hate to be that guy but could you share what you average gross week pay, i work for systems transport flatbed (blue slow trucks, sure youve seen us) and I gross about 1800 a week avg home sat+sun.
Maverick is awesome, but none of these companies have to be just a starter company. I started with Maverick and here I am 4 years later still loving life.
@@BigTrucking I'm looking for a company where I would like to build a relationship where eventually I can lease my own equipment to. If I can do that with a company where I started with, that's even better. I'm not a big fan of jumping from a place to place. Since you have been there for 4 years it looks like a place to start and continue your carrier. Most of mega carrier have over 100% turnover rate. I heard about drivers that went through three or four companies in their first year or two. I defenetly not look towards that. I liket to have at least two year under my belt as a company driver with the same company before I think about making any changes.

I hear what you're saying, but manuals are going away. Autos get better gas mileage. When we go electric there will be no shifting anyway.
Manuals are going away in few years, so you have to go back to school and get the automatic license
I love the tarp folding up technique. I have never seen it done that way before. Awesome videos as well. Thanks for sharing.!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
like to see a detailed video on that tarp folding technique. :-)@@BigTrucking

I'm glad I could help. I like them. They treat me well.

Awesome! That's why I do this.
I’m going to be honest for the first time in my life I would be happier just being a steering wheel holder
I can’t wait to get to maverick as soon as I get the rest of my 4 month contract done with the company I’m with now
👍
I m supposed to come to maverick February 10 hopefully I watch your videos
Congratulations

@@BigTrucking I didnt have many options for driving schools close to where I live. Now Im making over 4 times what I was before I got my cdl so I'm happy about that.

Why? You can get your experience with Maverick just as well as with another company

That sucks!
Thank you sir for the video
Yw, thanks for watching
I'm a new driver got my cdl class A I would love to drive for Maverick!
Have you applied?
@@BigTrucking yes sir I have
Id love to join Maverick, just outside their recruiting zone tho.
Sorry to hear that
Do not forget about liking the stream 😂
This is Kool..
Glad to see a driver earning his pay by rolling up the tarps.
You know it
Just enjoying your work ethics. Folding your tarps & how they are secured. Question : how do you know what needs to be tarp or not. Just asking.
It's in the work order to tarp or not.
@@BigTrucking thank you.
I have 4 years flatbed experience all flatbed. I'm really interested in maverick.
Email me
Or dm me
How’s the agility test at Maverick? How much do the tarps weigh?
It's not hard. Most pass
Tarps weigh about 40lbs for the small and about 100lbs for the big.
Would you say that trucking is your passion or you just view it as a job with good pay?
Just my job
I'd like to but I don't think I'm in the hiring area 🤷♂️
Where you at?
@@BigTrucking Phoenix, AZ
Ashley in recruiting called me today she trying to get me in class
Awesome! Good luck!
So im looking at mavrick tranning cdl program and my big question is how is the training pay and do you get paid while in class or only when your driving
$700 a week after you get your cdl
How do you feel about maverick watching you with their driver facing camera and sharing all of your data from that camera with the Lytx company?
I don't care. You are being watched all the time anyway.
Don't kid yourself son, no one is being watched like you are...with a camera trained on you day and night...it's the Truman Show!

@@BigTrucking hate to be that guy but could you share what you average gross week pay, i work for systems transport flatbed (blue slow trucks, sure youve seen us) and I gross about 1800 a week avg home sat+sun.
@@BigTrucking just trying to see where i could go and make more always looking haha

Nope
@@BigTrucking well thats an instant DQ
That's my least favorite load. Too labor intensive.
It's a lot!
Stop making videos u seens like nice guy but u dont get to the point big man
Are you my new troll?
Im looking for starter company. I'm between TMC, Melton or Maverick.
