    Is this time of year typically slow for flatbed freight? Is anyone driving for Maverick transportation and getting good miles weekly and what do you usually haul?

    I have heard a lot about Maverick and I like their way of doing things safely and legally. I want to know that my carrier cares about my safety and that I am running legal. What kind of typical weekly schedule can a newhire expect. How long are you usually home on weekends? Any info. on them you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
