    I'm looking to make a switch from Maverick to Combined hauling glass and have a few questions.

    1. How often are the drivers paid?
    2. Can you bring your wife 24/7?
    3. Do the trucks have APU's?
    4. Do they come with inverters?
    5. Are you required to go to Canada?
    6. Would I be required to go out with a trainer if I have very recent OTR and experience?

    I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

    I wanted to hear it straight from Combined drivers. Half of the crap recruitment says is false advertising trying to get people in seats.

    I'm in heavy haul. Started with glass didn't like it. Not because they're a bad company just because you can't make a heavy hauler a glass hauler. They tried, it ticked me off, but they made it right. I made better on glass, but you know driver that glass isn't for everyone. They are different than mav. They load it differently and don't pay to set up racks and won't let you drive with racks up. But I was making 2400-2800 dollars every two weeks after everything. of course that will be different for you because they no longer pay Per diem.but I think they're great. Bennies on day one. No more apus that I know of, but don't worry, most trucks idle and they won't say too much less you leave it running on sometime. They have fridges and inverters. Most do anyway if not you can get one put in at their expense. They took my front seat or a cabinet if you choose to allow for a fridge. Fix the truck how you want. No pet deposit bring your dog and your wife. They want you to go to Canada but they have lanes that don't require it, however, your pay is 2 cpm more if you go and you get75 dollars to cross in. It's harder to haul glass at combined, but its worth it to be here. Not supericromanaged.its a fun environment. Trucks run 65. Insurance for u and the wife runs 165 every two weeks, and that's how often we are paid. They will get you home, whether they have to fly u or not. True open door policy, and the glass girls are great. You can make it home driver
    I don't know how long you've been out here but you can't beat how they treat you here. My dispatchers know me, and look forward to having me in their area, and I'm an honory SOB. I like perfection and i m as close to it as I can be at combined. Hope this helps.
