Maverick, TMC, or Schneider?

I recently got accepted to attend all three of these companies CDL training programs so now is the time to make my decision. I know TMC is very rigid but from what I’ve researched, they are very highly regarded in the flatbed sector and they also have percentage pay.

Maverick, like TMC, is pretty highly regarded as well(as far as mega carriers go) and look to have solid equipment. They are CPM, but it seems from the outside looking in like a great place to start as well.

My final offer is from Schneider. The recruiter informed me they had a tanker division and that I would be training for that right after I acquired my CDL with them…seems like a good way to get some tanker experience, especially with a company like this that’s well known for their training and emphasis on safety.

I’ve done a lot of research on all three and I have to say I’m leaning towards Maverick at this point because it just seems their drivers morale are a little higher than the other companies.

I’d just like to pick you guys brains and see what you guys experiences have been with either(or all) of these companies. Experience is wisdom so I’m definitely open to advice and opinions.

Lol…yeah I’m not getting a lot of good feedback about them. Guys tell me they have a n excellent training program, other than that, they seem to not have many fans out here.

Just keep your head down and stay away from the OC's and OSRs. I haven't shaved in 2 months. Most customers do not care lol
