I am keeping this diary in hopes it will help newbies going to work for Maverick Specialized Division on what to expect.
I have no cdl or never even been in a truck.
I left Fayetteville, Nc Monday morning headed for Laurinburg, Nc to the Maverick terminal for DOT drug test and physical. I do have diabetes type 2 & high blood pressure controlled with medication cannot be on insulin. Blood pressure ia a big thing they had to send one guy back to Dallas, Tx because of his blood pressure. Also had to do an agility test which constisted of lifting a box with weights in it, stair steps, stretching exercises. After passing this part you go outside. They see if you can climb in truck cab, then you climb on and off trailer. They then make you lift a tarp and put in on the trailer it weighs about 60 lbs. Then you have to climb a ladder and put the tarp on top of the glass, then you have to wlak across the top of the glass. All of this is done while wearing a heart monitor for pulse rate.
If you pass this they send you to Cross Coutry Driving School in Thomasville, Nc Near High Point, Nc
