Choosing company to work for

There is more to a company than just miles and home time, although those are important too. Do a search of each company.....I'm sure you will know which is the better one for him/you after some reading.

 

A trucking company is just like a wife. You need to find one that you can put up with and one that can put up with you.
I would say maverick. But then again I'm a bit prejudiced. I do work for them I think they're the best to work for that's why I'm there.

 

Go to a truck stop near you and personally talk to the drivers from both companies.

 

Just remember take everything with a grain of salt. It's hard just to find five truck drivers that can agree on the price of a free cup of coffee. Like my dad used to say show me the finest looking woman that you can find and I'll find you five guys that are all ready had enough for her shenanigans and told her to get lost.

 

Maverick has newer and better maintained equipment and offers variety if he decided to try reefers or heavy haul or glass or whatever. There is also opportunity for advancement to the office if he wishes. Ive been with Maverick for over 8yrs and have no plans of going elsewhere. Maverick feels like family! Work hard and they will treat you well slack off and they will eventually send you home. Maverick also hauls more steel where Mcelroy is primairly lumber and drywall. However all that being said it really depends where you live and what suits you best. Some companies fit for some while others fit better elsewhere. Its all about preference,what you want versus what they can provide.
