No they don't. The flat side pays more.

I too am going to NLR this sunday. I cannot tell you how excited I am to have been selected by Maverick.
This is a total career change for me.. having sat behind a desk for the past 10 years , I am done dealing with the corporate world. And its time for me to look at the personal challenge of trucking...
I just finished school last week and now its time for me to learn more about life in an 18 wheeler. No matter what is going to be thrown at me , I am sure I'll keep the same smile that I have when I register my logbook On duty-Driving.
I've chosen Maverick because it seems they have better equipments, better rules and more proud than other trucking co out-there. I hate working for Company with employees that don't have proud in what they are doing...
Now Maverick has chosen me and I am thrilled...
I want to drive because I like it a lot. I want to secure loads and tarp because I want to know this is done the right way.
Yes I am sure there will be bumps on the road and I might not smile all the time. but if this was easy , I am sure we would still complain about it. -
I did the mid life carrer change too,,,
I have been with Maverick for 6 months, they are a great company to work for, the training was excellent,everything my recruiter said would happen did, everyone I have met in the company has been professional
and supportive, good people, and they are very paticular about who they hire, there were 8 of us in my securement training class, only 4 of us actually got all the way through it and into our own trucks. Pay attention,work hard and have a positive attitude and you will be fine.
I am in the Specialized division and like it , they really do have 24/7
support from the training department for ANY questions you have, working with glass is hard work but they pay you for it, they have a lot of new trailers on the road and a lot more on order, some of the schnieder trailers are pretty tired, but it is getting addressed as fast as possible. I am glad to part of this team.
I have found there is almost a brotherhood with drivers from all the divisions, you run into a fellow Maverick driver at a truck stop and you have an instant friend. it's pretty cool.

What are the pay rates for the so called "Covered Wagon Division" of Maverick Transportation anyway? I never did find on Mavericks evasive website the driver referal bonus amounts.
I gaurentee the coverd wagon rate is more than regional. -
If I remember right they make 2 or 3 cents less than the US Div.
-
So why would (msg #942) there be a waiting list for coverd wagon and not flatbed?
I knew a staight anwser was too much to ask for.But again I will ask. What are the rates? -
Actually, pay rate for drivers is the same, not matter what division, US, Long Haul, RAT or RSB (covered wagon). Where the difference is is that c/w drivers don't get tarp pay. And Mav doesn't pay if the driver has to break down the side kit (so far, I've found that Mav is the only c/w outfit that doesn't pay for this).
Of course, the + is that the c/w drivers don't carry the 8' drop lumber tarps, also

What is Maverick's pet policy?

No pets allowed.
