    I hope this is small sign of things to come in 2012. I don't know anything about Maverick Trucking out of Arkansas other than this article reporting driver pay increases.

    This story goes right along with the previous story.
    1/18/2012 Survey: Driver Pay Needs to be North of $60K

    Could be a positive for the industry. I'm cautiously optimistic. :biggrin_2558:

    A penny increase just amounts to keeping up with the cost of living. Every driver should get a penny a year to keep up with inflation. But they don't. Drivers been falling behind for 10 years.

    Maverick says 43 cpm which isn't much when their tractors average 1790 miles a week according to safestat. That's $40K a year if you never go home.

    I did over 50k in my first full year of driving with maverick. I average 2200 to 2500 a week.
    I have not found any company that pays as good as maverick does.
