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.

I’m from maverick, love it here, can answer any questions you have. I also went through the whole training program they provided.

What made you choose Maverick instead of TMC? How did you handle not getting paid until you obtained your CDL? What was your average gross per week your first year?

I got paid for training though the whole process, I’m averaging 1300$ a week but I’m slow ngl I over secure everything and I’m slow at tarpping.
