Maverick TCD Questions

Tcd is 2 weeks out 2 days back.
Every week out, gives u an extra day home. Typical set up for most companies.

Who told you glass is hiring only experience? When I started they allowed students

 

We definitely hire students for glass as well as flatbed and tcd.

 

It's my understanding that for new drivers asking for sponsored CDL school, Maverick will put them in TCD.

 

As a TCD driver with 14 months solo time:

Home time: You get 1 day of home time for every week you stay out. Minimum is 2 weeks. The longer you stay out, you can get the better routes and better pay.

Trainers: Regardless of where you live, you aren't likely to get assigned to a trainer anywhere near where you live. Maverick pays for a hotel for students to stay in while their trainer is on home time.

Miles: Average weekly miles are between 2,000 and 2,500 per week. There was a stretch of time when it was a challenge to get 2,000 per week, but the loads have been coming a lot better since then. It all depends on who is shipping, and where you are running. Some areas of the country don't have a lot of Maverick business, so the pickings can be slim.

Equipment: 2013-2017 model year Freightliner Cascadias. Many of the '16 and just about all of the '17 trucks have refrigerators. Maverick is retiring many of their older TCD trailers, replacing them with brand new trailers (manufacture dates of March and May 2016). Equipment quality and upkeep is really dependent on the drivers. Maverick isn't shy about getting repairs completed, especially when they're needed.

 

Turns out I'm wrong. I realized during orientation that I'm not in the hiring area for TCD even though that's where they put me. Lots of the other CDL students are in flatbed, and they said they'd try to get me into glass since I'm in the hiring area and have a passport.

 

You will get home about every two weeks, but you must send in a macro requesting hometime

 

You will average about 2,500 miles a week.
