Apply to Maverick now, get on that list and start squirreling away your money. In the end if you decide on Prime it's no big deal. Trust me, Maverick will have a waiting list going with some lucky person willing to take your spot if you cancel. You're not under any obligation once you're on that list. We've had other members who got bumped up on Mavericks list because somebody canceled. It happens all the time. It's better to be waiting on the list now, than having to wait once you are sure you're ready.
Thanks for the reply oldshool. So if I went with maverick, but applied to both would prime hold it against me in the future if I wanted to switch to them for any reason after my contract?

Not at all. They are always glad to have good drivers come on board. They don't care where you started. Remember everything about this career is measured by your performance. If you're doing a great job, any trucking company will be glad to sign you up. There's not a company out here who cares how or where you started. I started my career at Western Express. Knight Transportation was thrilled to have me come on board when I was ready. I still get calls from the people at Western Express trying to lure me back. Your record will speak for itself out here, and each of these companies are quite accustomed to drivers moving around from company to company.

I plan on going to cdl sponsorship in two months with probably maverick or maybe prime still kinda on the fence guess I’ll have to flip a quarter lol. maverick there is a 1 1/2 month waiting list which is good because I’d like to save money for a couple months for bills while I’m gone. Question is how soon should I apply because I’m definitely doing this.
