    I live in Hodgenville, welcome neighbor!...Maverick is a good company, my cousin worked there for years before going local...I don't know anyone at TMC for an opinion...Good luck!...

    If you're near Richmond, you may want to consider Watkins Shepard where I am...If you have any questions about them, or anything, PM me for cell...

    Real close to Richmond over in Berea even drove by the WS terminal over there to check it out. Kinda interested in WS but the website is kinda vague! You happy there and makin' good money? Nice truck? Home time? Flatbed seems to offer more of what I'm lookin' for!

    Welcome to the forum. Both companies you're considering seem to be fine operations.
    Good luck and let us know what you've decided.

    Thanks for the well wishes guys! I'm decided on TMC gotta be there to start orientation on the 20th. Very excited about this new career. I had fell in a rut with the toolmaker/ machinist career been doin that 20 years and its just not what it once was! Have'nt been this pumped about work for a long time! Hope to see you guys on the road! This site has been super helpful in my decision to go with TMC! Peace! Be safe!

    Good luck with TMC and I'm definitely happy that you decided to go with a flatbed company. It's a load of flatbedders on this forum who will be happy to impart as much knowledge as they possibly can. Drive safe and best of luck!!!
