Enjoying the updates Jeramy. My recruiter called earlier this week informed me I should be ready to go around the end of September.

BTW did you get your orientation pay yet? or do they hold that till after CDL school?

Enjoy your weekend!

Good luck!

Good info. I was wondering about getting my permit here in Michigan, glad to know it will be of no use to me in AR.

Are you in a hotel while in CDL training? Or a dorm room at the school?

Good luck!

I was told all divisions (flatbed and TCD) have to climb a ladder to the top of an 8-foot box that is on the back of a flatbed. What is the ladder like? A typical step ladder that is leaned up against the box? Or is it more like stairs with handrails. Do they make you do anything on top of the box? (carry a tarp, walk to the edge etc?)

Looking forward to keeping up with your updates as your time in Little Rock progresses.

Thanks for the reply Old School.

The one thing that I know I would have a problem with is standing on top of a 13 1/2 foot trailer! Could anyone with direct knowledge tell me if Prime Roehl Swift or Maverick would have that in thair agility test for a refer or dry van drivers? I understand Maverick make their flatbed drivers do it but would they make the TCD drivers do it?

Good luck! I'll be following your updates. What division are you going in?

Rather than hurdles, look upon phase as being a rung on a ladder.

Sorry if this is off topic, but what an "Agility Test"? And what does it consist of?

If you have anything specific that you have a question on just put it in here and I will see if I can get an answer.

Thanks!

I'm going Flatbed USA.

Keep us posted, I haven't seen many Maverick CDL diaries on here, kind of surprises me. Maverick was my 1st choice!

Maverick is all automatic trans from what I understand, I've heard the school has manual but don't know if that's true. Do you know?

Hi Jeramy! I also was accepted (got the call earlier this week) to Mavericks CDL program. I will be looking forward to your updates on your journey through the program.

Good luck! I hope to be getting started sometime in October.

All very strong points Brett thank you. I have read your online book, listened to all your podcast (some more than once) and read through many of your and others articles. Currently going over the HRTP. This site has been a wealth of knowledge for me. I am pretty sure I will be going to Mavericks CDL program, just considering all my options.
