    With Maverick you will haul lots of steel and lumber. Just depends on the season. You will probably tarp 90% of your loads.

    I spoke with a driver two weeks ago who was in the long haul division. He said he had been to every state except for Alaska and Hawaii.
    I am in the Rat Division and I have been to SW Texas. Way nw in Minnesota and down to Georgetown in South Carolina. I have also been up towards Main.
    I live in Ohio so I get alot of freight passing through Ohio to get me home.
    It changes for me from week to week. I get on a certain cycle and then I get sent out in a different run. I always refer to it as pin ball trucking.
    I do go to alot of the same places, but I still almost every week go somewhere new and I have been with Maverick for 1.5 years.
    Hope this helps.

    Depends on where you live as to which area you will see a lot of. Most drivers end up in the US division which typically runs 99% east of i-35. I live in central Missouri so typically I run from texas to ohio south to alabama and north to michigan. Thats my box but yours may differ if you live in the south east or east coast. Long haul runs all lower 48 and Canada,glass division does a lot of Canada and the northeast and RAT is suppose to be our east coast division but as Jim said he's all over the map. We deliver many of the same customers and after sometime you may be able to somewhat predict your loads based on the area you are in. Where do you live?

    Where you live your box will be very similar to mine. You are in a very good area.
