I'm in school now. I'm definitely wanting to do flatbed. Which is best; Roehl, TMC, or Maverick?

Among those you mentioned, Maverick or TMC.
I'm not as familiar with what Chinatown mentioned, but are probably worth a look.
I've heard Roehl can micromanage a bit too much with routing and fuel stops, at least that's what I was reading a year or two ago on them.
Maverick trucks are governed a little faster than TMC @ 65 versus 62 or 63.
TMC can be a bit obsessive about truck cleanliness with those fancy black Pete's, or so I've heard.
Maverick expects a clean truck, on-time deliveries and rule -following, but for the most part, you don't feel like they're too heavy-handed unless perhaps you're not doing those things.
I'm thinking pay and benefits would be similar among those two.
Maverick of course has the NLR yard so finding a place to park while at home would not be an issue. They'll get you home most weekends if you don't opt for long haul, and pay will still be pretty good.

 

@MrEd is a trainer at Britton Transport.

 

Eventually (trust me on this), you are going to find that "home time" is just as (if not more) important as anything else on your 'wish list'....there is not a whole lot bad said about Maverick here or anywhere else. Living where you live...I don't know why you'd even consider anyone else.

 

With Maverick you could be home during orientation. If you are looking for "great" rewards you are in the wrong industry as a newbie. Good luck
