Flatbeds Carrier ---Poll
 

Wanting to know which would be a better Choice?

Very similar companies I think. TMC has nicer equipment Maverick will probably pay a little more. TMC seems to have a reputation for excellent training (their tie down and tarp classes are supposed to be excellent).

Training to tarp at TMC consisted of unfolding a lumber tarp and then having two students fold it up while the rest of us watched. The only training received on actual tarping is given by the trainer during the six weeks with him. At the end of that time you will know how to tarp the trainers way, not necessarily TMC's way. TMC only pays $10 to tarp a load while Maverick pays considerably more.

If I lived in Michigan I would check out www.modulartransportation.com

Sorry it's www.modulartrans .com. I made good money there,I was home every weekend and a few times during the week, benefits are provided by the company. When you are with your trainer you stay in a motel every night. The only reason I left was because I found a local gig

Thanks for the tip i will looking into that company also.....

Maverick and TMC are waiting on one company to respond to their requests for my info and that company is taking its time...i don't uderstand it myself this is the aged of technology!

I was packed and reay to go as of wednesday of last week just waiting for one of them to call and say lets go...Maverick has had a week i applied on oct 5th day after graduation....this is the 8th day!!! :evil:

Now TMC is a different story ...when i first heard of them i applied and was denied i was like wtf....but said ok wasn't meant to be then and moved on now last week i was talking to Transport America and the recuiter used to work for TMC and wasn't because he had a bum knee.
He was saying here call a friend of mine another recuiter and i said why not and called well it turned out to be the recuiter that came to career day and she was why did they denie you i said it had to be that i was off for a yr of work and it was due to helping family we had 4 deaths and i flipped thwe houses to get ready for market and i was paid under the table and went to college in the evening...well she had me write a letter stating this and fax it over and talk to a certain person which i did and she said call her back friday and i was told same waiting on one company ...so now i had TMC back in my sights but i got everyone saying GO MAVERICK! lol'
My brain is fried and all i want to do is get going....idk anymore...not giving up justs a lil discouraged.....any advice might help haha

be safe!

Personally I would go with Maverick. You'll make more money while training with Maverick and you'll make the same once you're done.

well i'm waiting and would go with either at this point....maverick is the best choise from what most are saying...doesn't mean i don't like TMC...

my luck both will call same day at the same time haha
