We all had to start somewhere!
Yes sir!
Thanks Jeremy, I was considering going to Prime before finding Maverick on one your training videos. I have been educating myself on the trucking industry as a whole. I just applied online this morning, listed you as a referral, and will be contacting recruiting directly. I have never had a CDL but I have been in the roadside assistance industry since 2003. Looking forward to a new career. Thanks for the videos and training, best by far that I have found, on youtube at least, you seem to produce very informative content and I hope to be able to train with you. Thanks again. JD
Thanks for watching and the referral. Good luck!
Try training a newbie in a manual truck. 10 times more stressful.
very impressive tarp machine , any type of tarp machine are very rare here in uk ,possible because most loads like yours travel on curtain siders ,not very often you see tail trapped loads on flat beds , a lot of flat bar and rebar trapped with fly sheets , most coils go on coil trailer s with roll over sheets some odd loads are sheeted but very rare , most brick n block loads go on trailers with mesh or curtains sides but still strapped, stay safe
Thanks for watching!
Great content brother keep up the hard work, and thank you for sharing. I’m still trying to decide between Maverick or TMC. God Bless
I don't work for either one, I'm at roehl transport, but maverick is way better than tmc in every way. Don't be brought in just cause they got peterbilts
Thanks
One thing about flat bed some just don't pay enough to tarp
tarpin is prolly worst thing about flatbed
Agreed
OSB - I like getting it from JM Huber because they tarp it and they do an awesome job with the reversed rear tarp..always a treat.
I started Mavrick school on Sunday thanks for your videos
Good luck!
As a subscriber I'm gonna start liking more of your videos bc why not
Thanks!
You are good trainer,but step back let do it themselves (tarps,straps and chains
See their finished products. Remember you somewhere down the line you or I didn't have a great beginning. We all had a start, see them 3 months down the road. Believe me when you get on your own "new ball game".
I do. The last week they are on the truck, they do most of the work.
Was just there the other day my first training dock back up
👍
I just left Maverick for tanker with prime. Maverick was good i just wish they didnt cap pay and they need to buy some lots of land for some of thier drivers to park. Other than that i just want to try something new. Id definately reccomend maverick for those wanting to do flatbed or gain expierience.
Thanks for the comment and watching!
What do they cap your pay at? And do the have a minimum guaranteed pay?
I can’t wait to join ! 😄
i believe it’s time for a DOT inspection at maverick. going off duty while still doing work especially flat bed work where securing and tarping your loads require you to be ON DUTY. please do not give bad info out to drivers who may be new and still finding their way.
I belive what I said was get into the habit of going off duty when you pull your breaks whether or not you are going back on duty. I dont think i said to do work off duty. My point was that the eld will leave you on drive for an additional 5 minutes before moving you to an on duty status. Why waist those drive minutes? You can get into the habit of going off first and then moving into whatever work status you need. It's just an easy way for them to remember that they need to change the drive status on the eld.
You were very clear about going off duty not to burn your drivetime. And then you are also very clear about making sure the person goes back on duty before they do any physical work on duty, not driving..
Great video Sir 🫶🏻🇬🇧🫶🏻
Ian - when the heck are you gonna get over this side of the pond and come drive with us?? 😃
I do cdl driveing training and students today do take longer to train
i started in flatbed and ill never go back , i do intermodal now , flatbed dont pay enough for all u do, it should a 100k a year job but its not even close
It is and I made over 100,000 last year. There are guys driving for Maverick that make way over that. It depends on how much you want to be out.
i think i went there once , i know i went to some wirehousers or how u spell it, i think theres lots of em
There are lots of them.
Maybe getting a sticker and putting it on your truck will get you more subs. I see TH-camrs all the time with a sticker on their car or semi.
Maverick won't let us modify the truck in any way. They do have service and safety stickers we can have put on by the shop though.
how much do the tarps weigh at maverick. trying to decide between mavrick and tmc
The small tarps are about 40 lbs, and the large tarps are about 100lbs
New Subscriber here.
Thanks!
Question how long would you say it approximately takes to secure a load ?
Flatbed trucker here. It all depends on the load but If it’s just strap and go, usually under 20 minutes
@@lukegreco881 when you first started was it difficult? I’m going to maverick next week
Don’t care for OSB but enjoyed the tarping machine
Thanks for the comment and watching!
I dont understand why you go off duty when you stop. Your 14 hr clock is still running. I drive a daycab and the only time I go off duty is at the end of my day. Just wondering.
Good question. Your 70 hour clock for the week stops when you are in off time and sleeper berth. If you have to stay out for the weekend and you don't get the chance to take a 34 hour reset, saving that 70 hour clock may help you get home the next week. Just a hood habit to have.
@@BigTrucking ok. I gotcha now. Im home every night and every weekend off so it dont pertain to my situation. Thanks for explaining. Be safe, Driver.
This kinda mud flap Incident cost me not being hired by Walmart. That’s the only thing I have in background in 10 years of driving trucks. That happened about a year ago and Walmart said, reapply after 3 years.
Did you get a ticket for missing a mud flap?
@@BigTrucking
No I didn’t get a ticket. Actually, I was hired by Walmart in 12/2023 and I was with my mentor ( they put everyone with mentor for 2 weeks to learn the WM way ) so I was backing at one of WM stores and mud flap got caught between snow and tractor tires. Well we fixed it there and got back and my mentor explained to the safety and I sign a paper, that’s it . I left WM after 3 months and now when I reapplied, everything was fine ready to join and last minute they said, oh because of that incident now you got to wait 3 years to fall it off your record. Then you can join. It’s in there record.
You really expect us to believe Walmart wouldn’t hire you back because of a mud flap issue😂
@@mikestewart585
Believe it or not it’s true. It’s mentioned in their record as preventable! So I’ve to wait 3 years until it falls off Walmart’s record!
@mikestewart585 he would be correct. Walmart is very strict on their drivers, and any little thing like that can get you in trouble. I worked at one store in Lttle Rock that had a tree right beside where the trucks had to turn, a city tree, not even ours. One of the truck drivers came in yelling at us because the top of his truck scrapped on a branch. He said he HAD to turn it in, and he was going to get in trouble because of it. Very strict.
Maybe I missed it in an earlier video, but what pictures does he have to take?
Have to take pics of all tarped loads while in training. Also, all single coils have to have pics sent in by all drivers now.
Can trainees request certain trainers?
Nope. The office matches us with students
Do you guys hire drivers from Massachusetts?
Not sure. There is a hiring map on Mavericks web site
I like join your team after I get my class A CDL
Can I ask you a question
I really want be flatbed driver do I have to drive dry van first can I be train be flatbed driver?
I just joined Maverick and I can tell you that you do not have to do dry van first.
It’s heavy lol.
The only reason I gave it a thumbs down was because you really didn't speak about the topic that the video was supposed to be about.
I differ in my opinion about it
How long is students with trainers
Minimum of 3 weeks. Can be longer.
I coulda sworn I was subbed but I looked and wasn’t. Am now. Geez.
Thanks!
@@BigTrucking One question I meant to ask though: how do you reach the students that have little or no confidence?
do u guys do steel coils?
Yep.
How long are they in training?
At least 3 weeks. Can be more if they need it.
Should have helped him tarp instead of watching and why did you let him back that far?
Last week on the truck, they do most of the work themselves, so they know what it's going to be like when they are on their own. As far as backing up, it's the same thing. I can't hold their hands the whole time. They have to learn.
So you are showing him how to hook a strap, on his last week of training???? Holy moly…. I’d think you’d learn the first day!!!!!!!!
Trainees are only good as their trainers
!!!!!! It’s YOUR job to teach, not video a bunch of crap…. Put the Camera down and teach
woo pig suey razorbacks!!!
Hair or urine?
Initially, both.
