    Is this time of year typically slow for flatbed freight? Is anyone driving for Maverick transportation and getting good miles weekly and what do you usually haul?

    Yep....It's beginning to slow down.......But there's enough freight that needs to be moved to keep you busy.....Just not rich...:biggrin_25515:

    I have heard a lot about Maverick and I like their way of doing things safely and legally. I want to know that my carrier cares about my safety and that I am running legal. What kind of typical weekly schedule can a newhire expect. How long are you usually home on weekends? Any info. on them you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
