Private School Teachers.

Brad, I think you will find a lot of people on here watch YouTube. There is at least one on YouTube, Dale Clay, who is a Maverick driver and I'm sure there could be more.

I think Rainy D. is right and I know Old School would agree to get started in dry van or reefer and get some experience under your belt before moving over to flatbed. The very fact that you ask the question might tell you that you don't yet have enough information or the absolute drive to make it work no matter what. Trucking is more than difficult enough without adding the extra issues of flat bedding.

Does that mean people can't and don't make it starting right out of the gate with flat beds? NO but it could and probably has meant for some that they became so discouraged with trucking that they left it altogether when they might have had a different outcome had they gone the two step process.

Either way good luck to you and may every mile be an adventure and safe.

Count me in as one who would recommend started with a big company with multiple divisions. Much easier to transition that way without having to have company jumping on your records. Think of the money aspect alone in not having to start at the bottom with a new outfit.

Does Maverick hire from the School you are planning to attend? Not all Companies hire from all Schools. If you have your heart set on Maverick, ask which School they recommend. Good luck!
