We've added major advantages to our experienced drivers' welcome package. For starters, we'll help transition you from your former driving job by granting higher starting pay and greater PTO time based on your verifiable OTR experience. This PTO time is earned monthly rather than yearly. Your benefits will also go into effect much faster. (First of the month following 30 days of employment versus the industry average of 60+ days.)

What speed are your trucks set at?

Maverick trucks are governed at 65 mph. We also provide a new technology called PasSmart that is available on each Maverick truck. This technology allows you to drive up to 70 mph for 1 hour during an 8-hour driving period.

*(Divisions that go to Canada will not have the PasSmart option at this time.)

How much home time do Maverick Marine drivers get?

Depending upon where you live, as a Maverick marine driver you could get home weekly or stay out 2-3 weeks at a time. Keep in mind that this is the trucking industry and things will come up. Family is important to Maverick and this is of the highest priority. And, new for 2022, you earn your PTO on a monthly basis! You can use this in half day or full day increments. 

What are the requirements to be a Maverick driver?

You must be at least 21 years old and live within the hiring area. Your driving record and hiring criteria must match up with Maverick's requirements and will be evaluated when you apply with us.

What is the best way to fill out an application?

You have several options. You can apply directly online, download an application by clicking on the printable application link or call us at 800-289-1100 and a recruiter can mail, email or fax you an application. 

What if I don't have marine experience?

We offer marine and flatbed business unit training. During training, we will teach you the proper securement techniques required of a marine driver. Our extended training program is available to those without experience or to those who might need extra training.

How long is the training for the Marine Division?

If you have at least six months over the road in the last three years, you will complete 5 days of paid PRE (Pre-Employment Evaluation) and one week of paid Business Unit Training. If you have less than six months of over the road experience, you will need to complete our student training program

How does the application process work?

When you submit your application, it will be evaluated and we will contact you to review your application and begin processing. We will then order your background reports and verify past employment. Once this process is complete, we will send your application to our hiring committee for final approval.

What is your policy on traffic tickets and criminal background?

At Maverick we have our own point system we use to evaluate your Motor Vehicle Report. We also have a policy regarding criminal convictions and evaluate each applicant on a case-by-case basis.

Can my significant other ride with me? What about animals?

Maverick's passenger authorization program allows one rider at a time, 13 years of age & older and is no cost to you. We do not allow animals in our trucks.

Do I need a Hazmat endorsement?

No, Maverick only requires a Class A CDL issued in the state that you reside in.

Maverick's home office is located in Little Rock, AR. We have facilities in Portage, IN; Madison, IL; Green Bay, WI; Laurinburg, NC; Fort Smith, AR; Church Hill, TN and Burkburnett, TX.
