Both have good points and bad points, it all depends on your background, attitude, work ethic and willingness to follow the rules. Many say TMC is too strict, but their ethic fits in fine with mine. TMC has some growing pains that are being worked out, and they have a master plan in the works, that from the drivers seat, when fully implemented should work well. I personally feel TMC has a better options on the pay side, with both a mileage and performance based percentage plan. New drivers just coming into the industry and have a good work ethic, can and do make as much as an experienced driver in a matter of months, instead of years.
Cannot speak directly for Maverick, have not worked for them! But their drivers that I have spoken with on OTR or Linehaul teams have about the same praises and gripes as TMC drivers. So it seems the field may be fairly level.
Rhode Island may be an issue, you would have to speak with a staff recruiter to verify how often you would get home. With TMC I believe you fall outside of the Linehaul boundaries, so Longhual would probabaly be where you would fall, out a minimum of 2 weeks, with 2 days at home. Or one day home for each week out.
Good luck in your choices!
