License suspension for non payment!!
I had a suspension from 2012-2017 for some insurance issue I don’t even remember. I didn’t know about it until 2017 and got it fixed the next day. I have a clean record other than that. It has caused a couple companies to turn me down but most of them look past it.

Hey guys! I’m brand new here and just got my cdl. I’d like to be a flatbedder. I am hoping to go to maverick, I have been approved by their hiring committee I’m just waiting on a start date. The issue is, I’ve been out of work for about 8 weeks now since starting school and now this delay so, it’s becoming hard to wait. Thankfully I have some side work to keep the lights on. To the point: I’ve been looking into some other companies while I wait for maverick to bring me in. Werner is one. My recruiter is telling me that the Goodman account pays 47 cpm, ~2500 miles per week which Sounds good. Too good. It contradicts everything I’ve seen and heard about the pay at Werner. But, they can start me next week. Any insights? Thanks!

Can recruiters be trusted?
I really appreciate all of the replies! I know I’m new to this so, I have a lot to learn. I also know that, as in any industry, the big guys take the punches and bad reviews. I’m still leaning toward flatbed, seems more my style but, I’m glad to see that my reservations about Werner seem to be unfounded. The wife and I are going the beach this weekend so, we’ll take that time to make the decision. I applied to Melton yesterday just waiting for approval. TMC was actually my first choice but they turned me down because of a blemish on my mvr. I am looking forward to getting on the road and learning a new trade!
