Flatbed Companies with hometime in NC

Ive been lookingbe at maverick trucking and they seem to be pretty good u can look at fourm on here from jim the hut the name of the fourm is leaving for little rock.

 

Any forum with their name in it will be helpful. People usually always chime in with experiences and such. Don't listen to all the negatives, but be mindful. A lot of those are guys who couldn't cut it and either got fired, or gave up. Maverick is a decent company from what I hear, automatic freightliners, and I know the owner and the owner of tmc go way back. Good place to get some experience is what I hear.

 

Yea i have been working on reading the fourm form jim the hut and he talks about all his experiences and from what i have read so far its all good stuff nothen negative and he will answer any questions and give advice

 

I just started with McElroy Truck Lines, they take good care of there drivers and have awesome equipment.

 

Hi, I live in Cleveland, Tn not too far from you. Does Mcelroy get you home on weekends?

 

Home weekends:
Maverick
McElroy
Jordan Carriers
Builders Transportation

 

When a OTR company says they will get you home on weeks ends, read the wording again, NO company that does OTR can guarantee you home every week end. . A few dispatchers will TRY and that is a stretch to but there are far too many variables to guarantee it. Don't count on it. Either that or your working for nearly nothing. It is too expensive to run drivers home MTY or even with a load by the house every week end.
If you need to be home nearly every weekend your in the wrong business. Just saying. That statement is made as one of the carrots dangled in front of a new driver. In reality is isn't going to happen.
Non OTR or local , and sometimes regional. Yes you might get home during the week or weekends but Doo Doo happens now and again even in those runs.
Here is how many companies work this weekend at home gimmick.
If you get home prior to midnight. Say 10:30 pm Sat and you have to leave Sunday to deliver that was your week end. You were home Sat and Sunday. In trucking it is not 48 hours is a weekend. Seldom is it 48 hours. There are exceptions but not often .
Remember that the customer and the companies bottom line come FIRST.

 

Got it . Thanks
