    I recently applied with maverick flatbed, currently driving for tmc. The position I applied for said dedicated regional Carolinas, and said primarily runs NC/SC.

    My question is, is this accurate, I applied because I want to stay closer to home but not looking for fully local gigs.

    I left Maverick 2 years ago. At the time regional dedicated runs were being created for customers like Home Depot. It had a different pay structure with home through the house or home every weekend guaranteed driving daycabs. Not my cup of tea, but a good fit for the family man.

    When I spoke to the recruiter he said he didn't have a dedicated position, but that this was more dedicated to the area I'd be running, which is my more preferred option, I don't want a strictly daycab, just a more central running area

    Yes, truck companies with solid freight have reached out to do more dedicated options. I would check and see if they offer a dedicated glass option out of Laurinberg . I hope you find a good fit. I'm from TN and was in the Carolinas often, heavy freight in and out of there. Good Luck!

    @Very Metal did you run a certain area or did they run you otr, in the listing for the spot it says "primarily runs NC/SC which is the part I care about...I saw one for TN as well that said runs primarily Memphis, Knoxville, Nashville

    I'm thinking that it's mostly doing pickups in places like the lumber yard in Pageland SC going to wherever they deliver, like to Ohio, WV, VA, GA, AL, etc.

    I have no idea if that would be home daily or just on the weekend. Probably would get to go home once or twice a week and weekends but I don't really know the actual details.

    You won't be getting glass dedicated in Laurinburg anymore because Maverick lost the contract to Wylie.

    @TokyoJoe yeah I had heard about maverick losing that contract. Im not looking for a home daily, but the idea of mostly running in NC/SC is appealing..and page land you mean cm tucker, which 90% of the time goes to WV/Ohio at least for tmc It does

    Yeah it's that Tucker place. I've only been there 3 times because I'm doing glass.
