    OK I'm finishing up my driving school and have to decide between TMC and Maverick. Everything I know about these companies I have learned from these forums, the respective company websites/recruiters. The only negative thing I have heard on TMC is they are too strict, too much like military, etc. That does not bother me, I am prior military and like things to be in proper order. I have not heard anything negative about Maverick so far. I am looking for opinions from former or current drivers for these companies and what you like and/or dislike about them. Thanks for any info.

    I am in the same boat TNgreenhorn. I am trying to decide between the 2 also. I also am prior military and the whole being strict thing I dont mind and I actually kind of like because it will weed out people that are weaker I guess you could say. I have heard that there school is very good for learning how to F/B. I like there equipment but there trucks are a little slow, but hey you gotta pay your dues you know what I mean?

    Lol TMC didn't pay people to narc on you. At least it didn't pay very good. There where enough "chrome knee pad" guys narcing for free.

    I had a guy rat me out one time because he seen me throw away what he thought was too full a bag of trash at a fuel island. I found out who it was. Next time I seen him, he had several serious securement issues on his load. I told him to get his ducks in a row himself before he went around narcing on people. He was really shocked that he got caught.
