I drive for Maverick.By the time you get done training with a trainer and going through the load securement class,you have a real good grasp on securement.If you still feel unsure they will work with you.Also there is a book in the truck describing how to secure our most common loads and there is always someone on call that can talk you through anything.Even though there are times you have to stand back and look at the load and figure out the best and safest way to secure it.Flatbedding is fun and challenging.As far as hometime,I get home every weekend.Most of the time I get home on friday and leave out on Monday.If I come home loaded I will leave out on Sunday in order to deliver on Monday morning.Maverick will not gaurantee you home everyweekend,this is trucking.Alot of it depends on your fleet manager.Hope this helps.
