    Might want to check out Superior Carriers out of Baltimore. A guy posted in the sub forum that someone came to the school he is in recruiting drivers. It is hard to beat them right out of school pay wise. Where else can a rookie make .50 per mile plus hourly when not driving

    I know Maverick used to hire glass haulers out of Md. They take student and have an exelent training program. Glass haulers have a week of flatbed training and a week of glass training. Then out with a trainer for at least a month. No teaming at all. They also have a refer side. They teach it all in orientation from map reading to trip planning.

    If I could do it all over again I would have went the regional tanker route. Companies like Superior are now hiring students. Once he get's experience he can get on with Groendyke. Out loaded, back empty. Home throughout the week and weekends.

    Groendyke and Superior are pretty similar pay wise. How much out and back they have depends on the customer more than anything. System wouldn't be a bad thing out of Baltimore. 6 or 7 years ago there was a guy here @MoneyCat who ran dry bulk out of that terminal before heading to N Dakota for the oil patch.

    For what it's worth, Mavericks flatbed training alone was worth 18 months working for them....

    Here are two smaller companies.

    William N. Mason Inc hauls heavy equipment. I worked there for a while.

    There's also A&S Trucking. They do flatbed work and they're ran out of the owner's house, on Queenstown Rd in Severn.

    Because neither mine or my carriers insurance will cover anyone with under 12 months otr.
    I'm trying to push him toward Maverick. I think where he is they will fit his needs the best. Rest is up to him.
