Maverick Glass Laurinburg NC

You'll make a lot of money with Maverick, and travel all 48 with them. They'll want to send you into Canada too in their glass division. Their recruiters are generally honest, so I would give them a call.

 

you will drive over broken glass at the plant. thats what the road is made of.

 

Check out Neil Shane Otts on YouTube. He recently did an almost hour long interview of a Maverick glass driver. I did not watch it because it is so long but might be worth checking out.

 

If you sign on with Maverick, be wary of trainer Scotty at the Little Rock terminal (he also does training in Laurinburg). He's worried about his own ego and being a "big man." He's not worried about proper training and helping you learn.

 

The one thing you need to be ready for with the Maverick glass division is that they do some non-glass freight when necessary, which means you have to assemble and disassemble the A-frame racks on their flatbeds from time to time.

 

I started hauling glass(for a competitor of Maverick) after 23 years pulling a box trailer OTR...best decision I ever made. Maverick's way of hauling glass involves a little more tarp work because their flats that have the removable A-frames also have removable tarps, so even when you aren't dropping the frames, you still have to pull and fold the tarps like a regular flatbed load, but, If you're looking to get physical, then hauling glass is a good choice. I have no regrets.

 

I frequently run past the glass plant just north of Wichita Falls, TX. Maverick does a lot of loads out of there. I noticed that there are quite a few curtain side drop decks starting to populate the yard. That would make it easier to finish out the load, but limits you to legal width loads when you aren't hauling glass.
