Not yet. We're still putting things away in the house and getting doctors lined up. I'm running Maverick's Cobra insurance out the full 18 months. After that insurance will cost out the whazoo, especially with my health problems. I'm too young to actually be retired and go on Medicare or anything like that. But thankfully we are able to make it without my having to work.

my 1 yr anniversary w/the company is next month and I have yet to even think about applying anywhere else. Have specifics you'd like addressed, message me, I'll answer if I can, or will attempt to point you in the right direction. Meant to add: getting my first California run! Leaving in the morning, picking up a 2stop: Stockton and Rancho Cucamonga (sp). Woohoo!
Uneventful, but scenic run from Covington, TN to Ripon, CA. Been here about 4 hrs. 1st stop delivers in the A.M. and I'm only 30 minutes from the place. Then I have to creep back down to Rancho Cucamonga for final stop on Tuesday morning! I was told there was already a reload in that area in the making as of this past Thursday...going back to South Carolina...that'd be sweet!
i filled out an application with Maverick last week , they gave me a call within 2 days. i am waiting for the application process to be done. i heard they a great company.. but they told me 2-3 weeks out in temp controlled division.. pay is okay if you run the milage they say you are going to get. I WANTED TO KNOW FROM ANY DRIVER HERE IF ITS 100% DROP N HOOK?? and also, how their trucks run? and what type of trucks they have?? thanks
Maverick is a good company to drive for. I average anywhere from 2200 to 2600 miles/week. One week you may do better than the 2600, next week may be the 2200 week. It usually balances out. And no, we are NOT 100% drop/hook; there's quite a bit, though, and that makes for good weeks. All Maverick trucks are Freightliner Cascadias and ALL are automatics (which is great when you're doing a 4-stop load in Chicago, or picking up in downtown Boston). I've seen some '14 models on the main yard in Little Rock the last time I was there. I usually stay out 3 weeks at a time, but I'm single w/nobody but me @ home so it's easier for me to. I think the minimum is 2 wks out at a time, but you can definitely stay out longer if you like. I'm starting week 5 and I go home this week. Maverick is a stand-up company and I feel like I made a good choice going with them last year when I got back into trucking. Good luck out there!
