Safety Awards

Safety is our foundation and safety is a core value at Maverick. We take great pride in the fact that many carriers attempt to emulate our safety standards. Our philosophy of doing the right thing has resulted in numerous accolades. We believe it is a testament to the safety-conscious culture we have cultivated since our inception in 1980. Below you will find a sampling of the many safety awards we've received along the way.
