    Been browsing around the Maverick forum and still have some questions about the Glass Division:

    -Do you receive the same mileage pay whether you are pulling glass or not? (I know some companies change the rate based on what you pull.)

    -Do you carry different size tarps? Is it a flat pay rate for throwing a tarp, or is it different for lumber and steel tarps?

    -I read somewhere that glass drivers do not get paid extra for crossing the border, is that accurate? (That post was a couple years old.)

    -What is the home time like for this division? I live near Geneva, NY and figure I would be past the house pretty frequently.

    -I have flatbed experience, but not with glass. Is going out with a trainer mandatory for new glass haulers?

    I think that is it for now. Maverick definitely has my attention, and I am hoping to get their's. I have all my endorsements including the NYS Metal Coil, a TWIC card, passport/enhanced driver's license, and my Alabama Metal Coil Certification. I am really excited about the prospect of getting back on the road! Thanks in advance!

    Hey Banger! I think I can only answer one or two of your questions, and still not 100% sure cuz I do FB not Glass, but maybe Seawheeler will see this thread and respond.
    I believe you get same mileage pay no matter what your freight. And I would take a guess that GH's probably have 2 sizes of tarps, Glass Tarps and Steel Tarps- maybe a couple of lumber tarps too, but not sure....
    You will be very impressed with Maverick and the way the company is run and a majority of the drivers here.

    Seawheeler! Care to chime in??

    You can check with recruiting and they can tell you the 411.
    We don't have too many glass haulers on the boards but maybe one can't answer your questions.

    I saw this post earlier this week but didn't have my laptop with me and just too much to enter with my thumbs. Hope this helps.
