Maverick V. TMC

I'm in CDL school for another few weeks but am in the hiring process with Maverick and TMC and should know something this week from both. Having a hard time making a decision between the two. I like the idea of automatics and EPU's at Maverick. Percentage pay and Peterbilts attract me to TMC. Both seem to have quality training and have competitive first year rookie salary.

Looking for professional feedback from your own experience and perspective getting into the industry with one of these two companies. I'm a 12 year Army veteran in top shape with a squeaky clean background. No tickets or accidents of any kind, no criminal background, great physical healthy so I feel like I'd be an asset to any flatbed orginization.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. Maverick has the veteran apprenticeship as well, that's why I feel tugged in both directions. Not having driven either makes, auto or manual and electric v. auxiliary power unit. I guess trying to figure out long term comfort and enjoyment of driving. Am I making sense? 😁

 

Both offer home weekends for my area, I'm in the hiring area for both. I think they both haul all types of freight (lumber, steel, coils etc), Maverick also has a glass division and temp. controlled division in addition to flatbed. TMC is only flatbed at this point. Both average between 2100-2400 a week, home weekends 95% of the time is advertised.
