    Maverick is a great company. Excellent securement training. Missouri is a great area for them. They are all automatic so you either like that or you don't. Overall an excellent starter company, especially for flatbed.

    I've always wanted to drive tankers ,you know its just something ive wanted to do not really any reason, but I know it will take some experience; as a new cdl driver I would not like to start in tankers. So maybe I could give it a go in the next few years it's just one of those things even as a kid I was interested in.

    I know what you mean. My dream has always been to pull heavy haul. Mostly just construction equipment. It's just something about seeing a nice Pete pulling a huge dozer

    None of them have a good owner op program. They're starter companies. A toehold. Nothing more. And do not allow anyone to talk you into a lease purchase program where you have a weekly truck payment. Understood? I dont care how special they tell you you are or how much sunshine they inject in Uranus, DON'T do it.
