Welp I haven't been here on good ol trucking truth in ages. What the hell happened to this place? There used to be silly post about our experiences and helping each other get through this crazy profession. Now it's all political bickering and foolishness. Good lord

Lucky indeed. When I did flatbed that was my biggest fear, a coil rolling off and landing on me or someone else. Glad no one was hurt. Also glad to be pulling plain ol vans now lol

Had my cdl before I got there but stayed for 2.5 years. Great training and top notch equipment. Highly recommend.

Since when did the mods start removing comments on here? What is happening on this site lol.

Id suggest typing owner operator in the search bar and read the forums that pop up. Lots of juicy conversations on here about it. The short answer to your question is its not recommended here on this site but if you must, get a couple years u der your belt and tread carefully.

Very late to this thread and updates in general. What happened at fedex? I thought you were running hard? And also some of the people in this thread lol good lord what is happening around here.

Yo Dylan. I left maverick 2 years ago but when I was there I had no issues getting home. My wife was due within a few months of me going solo a few years ago. I simply let them know months in advance and when it was close to that time they gave me plenty of time to be home with the family. Keep in mind though that if the truck has to sit longer than I believe 3 weeks or so you have to turn it back in. Also I was lucky in my wife was having a scheduled Csection. If your wife is having a natural birth it will be more difficult to time it so that you're home for the birth. But they will definitely work with you if you communicate and don't wait till the last minute.

Jammer stop yelling lol

I second what banks said, probably best to keep family and work separate. You'll also want some good solid training which lots of companies provide. What you could do is find company sponsored training somewhere in Texas. That way you won't have to worry about all the hassles of transferring your license. But of you need the income right now as times are tough for a lot of people, I say go for it if it's best for your and your family.

This is crazy, they grow up so fast lol. Congratulations
