    Got a question. I'm running flatbed with Prime , getting close to 3 k in miles a week. My year is up in November . I'm looking at other options because I've had problems getting home even with a 4 wk. notice. I'm asking who between Boyd, Maverick or TMC would be my better option to get me home and of course pays better? I'm located in S.E. Ky. bout 1hr. S.w. of huntington w.va. Any suggestions would be great..

    If your basing it purely on home time I would go with TMC, but overall I would say Maverick, Boyd and then TMC.

    Pay and the equipment are equally important. Does Maverick have apu.s on the trucks?

    listen to cpape; he knows what he's talking about. the automatic transmission thing is all in ur head, plus the auto transmission is wonderful, u don't have to keep upshifting or downshifting & maybe miss a gear, etc.

    maverick is a leader; i'd put them @ the front

    Does Maverick allow you to take the truck home?
