    Ok I'm sitting here in Baltimore, Md. and thought I was seeing things, but no..
    Maverick was pulling a 2 axle lowboy!!!!

    When did this start and are they going to flood the market with cut rate lowboy services now???

    They have a Specialized Glass division they had bought from Schneider a few years ago.

    The specialized glass trailers might be double drop decks or step deck. Occasionally you will see orange mid roof tractors pulling them, but I have been seeing this less.

    I can remember seeing curtainsided trailers hauling glass but I don't remember if Maverick was the company, anyone know for sure, either way?

    I was in that division for a while...Schneider always had a small fleet of these drivers (usually no more than 20), Maverick changed things when they took over (took the fun out of it)...

    You are wrong about Maverick hauling freight at cut rates...they never have done that, no matter the type of freight. (matter of fact, they charge more)
