Just a question, but if you're looking at all three, why is the poll only two options?

i have asked this very same question. do a search on both companies. but i stuck with my first choice. TMC . it was a hard decision. but your first choice is usualy the best. i really dont want to wait 2-3 months for maverick to call me up for training either. but i am still on the waiting list. if for some unforseen reason i dont make it through TMC's orientation. i always have backup. CYOA. "Cover Your Own A**". i dont see any problems it is just a matter of getting there. 8)

It seems TMC is the first to call me back so i going to go with them. I was looking for a good flatbed company to work for and I have not really heard any bad aboat them. There trucks are top of the line and always clean. I also sent my application to Maverick and Melton and I have not heard from them. And I sent one to a company called Passmore, I see a lot of Passmore trucks in texas.Has any one heard of this company? But TMC has always been on the top of my list so I am glad they called me first. So anyone driving for TMC tell me how you like it. P.S. Sure sorry I messed the poll up, should have been three instead of two sorry. I did not have my glass on :shock: I will keep every one up to date on how things go in orientation so peaple can see how its like at TMC.

I work for Maverick, and I believe it's a matter of just choosing one.
I believe both companies are based on a hard work ethic, professional looking and acting drivers, and new, well maintained equipment.
I don't think you can go wrong either way you go.

My hubby works for TMC he loves it and I love it. He is home every weekend, and makes good money. The main thing I hear my hubby say is treat your dispatcher with respect. They have a hard job trying to get everyone what they want and need, they dont need anyone givin them a hard time and makin it worse. Good luck with your job. I'm sure you will see that they are a great company to work for.
