Questions about Maverick

Well, some may jump on me for this suggestion, but it could work... Swift has a flatbed division, and they seem to keep them busy. I know one of their flatbed drivers, see him regularly because he runs the same acct that I do. He is happy with them and has been there quite awhile. He gets home on most weekends. That could be an avenue worth looking into. A couple of years there doing flatbed, then try Maverick again. There is also TMC, Melton, Boyd, McElroy, Buddy Moore, and Howard that run flatbeds, but I have no idea if they would say something similar to what Maverick has told you.

 

I started with swift flatbed but two years is unnecessary, I did one year at swift and went to lonestar. Her hubby should probably just suck it up and do the one year at CRE to get a solid base but sounds like that's not going to happen.

 

Very true! I've heard that Marten is a really good company to work for, but I'm pretty sure they don't have flatbeds. Dunno if they hire new guys or not though.

Also have him check with Rohel. They do have flatbeds, and I've heard good things about them too. I know they hire new grads because they called me twice after I started at Maverick, knowing how new I was. If I hadn't gone with Maverick, they would've been one of my top choices as well.

 

I have heard great things about TMC.

 

Check into them thoroughly. I've met an awful lot of ex-TMC drivers at our terminal.

 

Yup, me too.

 

Hubby had a choice between TMC and Maverick. After talking to many TMC drivers very very glad he went with Maverick. Apparently they pay more attention to having clean trucks then repairing them.
