Congrats!! I’m on their waiting list for sponsored cal training. Heard a lot of good things about them.
Congratulations Kevin! Safe travels.
Woo Hoo! Another flat-bedder is born!
I know some of you will be surprised at this, but I remember way back when we didn't have any flat-bed drivers in here. Now we've got a really fine group of them.
Congratulations Kevin, you just added to our numbers.
Remember, you've got a much steeper learning curve due to the additional issues with securing your loads. Don't be shy to jump in here with any questions you might have. It doesn't matter whether they're flat bed related, or just trucking related, there's plenty of helpful people in here who will be glad to give you some good advice when needed.
Congratulations. Good luck. We are always here to help. 
Awesome news, even if you pull a skateboard!!!

Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

Here is an update. As many of you know I went to orientation at Maverick on Feb. 4, 2018. I did the orientation and flatbed securement classes. Then I went out with a trainer. Maverick does not believe in team driving or training as teams. The first few days I was just a passenger then I got a lot of road time in. I was in the trainer truck till March 15 when they routed me back to Little Rock for evaluation which began Sunday and I was assigned a 2018 Freightliner Cascadia on Tuesday afternoon. I am currently doing my first solo load from Malverne Arkansas to Fairmont, West Virginia 46 miles MT 898 loaded miles. I am pretty happy with my decision to go with them at this point. It was very hard work though.
