After 4 days of paid PRE (Pre-Employment Evaluation) are completed, you’ll attend 7 days of Flatbed Business Unit Training in North Little Rock. You will then be paired with an instructor for the remaining training period for your trainer truck time.
Where will my training take place?
Maverick's main training facility is located at our corporate headquarters in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Depending upon division, training may instead be held at our facility in Laurinburg, North Carolina.
