Dave they call me mpw. First off I just want to say welcome. Second if your expecting your kid soon how is your family support for your wife. With you way on the road it is very much she will be like a single mother and having a strong family support systme will make things easier for her, and you. Your home time your looking at with most company's 1 day home for every 6 or 7 out. Rhoel has a home every other week I would look at if I was In your shoes. I used to work for Swift when I daughter was born over 2 mounths early they let me dh over 500 miles to get home and paid me for them. I think you should look at what is most important for you and your wife. Is it home time? Is it didcated work? What ever it is, talk to the diffenrs company's find out what they offer and go with the one that's fits you the best. Forget about the company name, it's just a name it's about what they offer you. the company that fits me the best, might not be the best for you. Good luck and congratulations.

Thanks a lot mpw. The insight is highly appreciated and you bring up very valid points. Our support system is very strong thankfully but regardless of that I know it will be a struggle.

Maverick has a dedicated Glass division. They are very family orientated and try their best to get you home depending on the division you choose communication and positive understanding attitude go a long way.

I paid out of pocket and now maverick reimburses me $100 per week for as long as I work for them. No contract.

They do have a school but there is a waiting list. I did not go this route, I wanted to start making the money.

Call Marshall at the recruiting and give him my name Glenn Minnick. He can answer any of your questions. I can also give you more details of my experience.

Good luck friend.

Glenn

Thanks a lot Glenn I will give him a call and see what I can find out.

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
