Down to TMC or Maverick...

Yes, they're flatbed companies.

 

Seems that Maverick has a lot of pros but have automatic transmissions.

TMC has great looking trucks but seems like there is a lot of negative stuff on here.

I wish I could be more help, they are both in the forum under trucking companies. Check on here there seems to be a lot of info.

 

I'm a TMC driver for 18 months now NO apu on any truck I have seen. Good training company. Lots of BS nitpicking rules. We have pretty trucks, pretty slow 62mph old ones average over 800k. Mine is going on 937k. Too many electronics lane departure buzzes when close to the lane edge, vorad stops cruse and sets jake if your less than 300 ft from anything. New ones also have braking "assist" that apply brakes without driver input. There are traction alerts and hard braking alerts. Now last month they have started to install 2 way camera's to watch you and the road. Any more questions?

 

Almost forgot old one's have 13 speeds and a cat, new 9 speed and a Cummins

 

While i dont work there anymore ill give you my two cents. tmc didnt haul much hazmat when i was there. In a years time i hauled 2 loads with hazmat, one being plarcaded as the other was limited quantity. Never hsd twic with them but didnt hear a heck of a whole lot of guys goin to ports. And Canada is hit or miss, right time, right place. iMO, those credentials with the black and chrome arent worth it as far as going to those places often. But if i remember right, i think you get paid extra for simply having them... correct me if im wrong.

 

Forgive my typing. My phone lags on this forum for some reason...

 

We get extra points for having them. By the way twic hazmat passcard are extra points. Points for mileage out of route revinue Monday morning delivery and a few others are calculated once a month. Pay percentage can go up or down based on total.
