Maverick, MCT, Or Transport America?
Topic 5588 | Page 1
I cant say to much for Transport... However I can tell you a thing or two about Maverick and MCT.
Maverick is flatbed only... You must live in their hiring area or they will not even look at you. Its a solid company, good pay package and they beleive in your hometime (home most weekend) IF you want it. They offer several packages for regional , OTR and Preferred regional runs that limit to where you go. Rest assured though you will get your miles, which are about 2500 weekly! All trucks are Auto, all have APU's and Inverters
MCT is a family run business. They fall under the comcar umbrella. They do van and reefer only! They really go over your driving and background report (very thoroughly). There runs are 14 to 18 days with a two day reset. They will literally drive you in all 48 states!!! All trucks are Auto, all have APU's and Inverters.
Hope this helps!
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Reefer:
A refrigerated trailer.
APU:
Auxiliary Power Unit
On tractor trailers, and APU is a small diesel engine that powers a heat and air conditioning unit while charging the truck's main batteries at the same time. This allows the driver to remain comfortable in the cab and have access to electric power without running the main truck engine.
Having an APU helps save money in fuel costs and saves wear and tear on the main engine, though they tend to be expensive to install and maintain. Therefore only a very small percentage of the trucks on the road today come equipped with an APU.
