Maverick or TMC

I originally posted in the flatbed forum but I figured I would shoot it here as well. See what happens.

I have been following a few threads on both companies for the past couple of months. I am currently in the Army and have about a year left before I transition out. This was my second period of active duty. I previously had 7 years in the Navy. Anywho, knowing that a good transition requires the 6 P method ( Prior Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance) I am also aware that every company has its b.s.. Its the amount of b.s. that you can handle and still perform. I was in law enforcement for five years prior to my Army adventure. I have contacted recruiters of both companies and asked about training programs, pay, freight lanes in my hiring area and the like. Notice I did not ask about home time. I am well aware that home time is NOT the priority for companies. The load IS the priority and takes precedence. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on this subject of course. My wife and I have had the home time conversation at length many times in the last few months. She grew up with a truck driver in the family and being married to the military she understands the mission is first. She plainly stated " I don't plan to see you for the first year". Obviously that is a slight exaggeration but it hit the nail on the head and confirmed that she is aware of whats to come.
I would like to get some advice and thoughts from current drivers of both Maverick and TMC. I know there are always pro's and con's to each company. I am stuck between the two with a few other companies on the list close behind.

Maverick has me in every respect over TMC with the exception of TMC having the VA OJT program. The shiny black and chrome is attractive but doesn't pay the bills.

Sorry for the long post...just trying to give some background and what I am looking for as far as information.....Stay safe out there.....

 

Appreciate it Timd. Just have to wait and see. Still have some time to research and make up my mind.

 

I appreciate it ATX
