    Hi All, I’m talking to Maverick about a Regional Midwest job. I live in Davenport, Iowa. Would love any insights about what I’m getting into. Common lanes, average miles, customers in Southeast Iowa.

    Glass? flatbed? I don't think reefer is regional. But for glass, there's a glass plant in Dewitt, IA. (I think its been awhile) I think you can do dedicated too.

    The opening is for flatbed. I don’t have any experience, so I can’t do glass. That would have been ideal.

    Didn't know they change glass to experience drivers only. I came to Maverick with experience but i'm pretty sure they had new drivers in it too.

    Thanks for responding. What can you tell me about your experience? How about the lanes in the area? I’m interested even if you didn’t drive glass.

    I was OTR plus Canada with Maverick and actually was in glass. Home time was great for me, basically 3-5 days home for being out 2-3 weeks. I did some flatbed work if glass was slow.
