What Maverick USA does

Maverick USA is a privately held open-deck trucking company founded in 1980 and headquartered in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The company operates three core transportation divisions — Flatbed, Glass, and Marine — and claims to be the largest architectural glass carrier and the largest recreational boat hauler in North America. It runs a fleet of 1,600+ tractors across 8 U.S. terminal locations, completing more than 3 million safe miles per year, with service coverage in the eastern two-thirds of the United States, Canada, and select Mexico cross-border lanes.

The company's service portfolio includes over-the-road flatbed hauling (300+ mile loads), regional short haul (1–350 miles with 99% on-time delivery), dedicated fleet solutions (approximately one-third of revenue) with multi-year enterprise contracts, final mile delivery for building materials, and specialized chip hauling for biomass. Revenue is generated through transactional freight contracts and dedicated service agreements with enterprise shippers in building materials, glass manufacturing, marine/boat distribution, and wood/biomass verticals. Home Depot is a publicly named anchor customer (Dedicated Flatbed Carrier of the Year). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a dedicated sales organization; the company also runs an in-house CDL training program (GI Bill-approved, with 17% veteran representation in the fleet).

The technology stack reflects 30+ years of progressive safety and telematics investment: satellite communications and in-cab telematics (1992), collision warning (2002), lane departure and roll stability controls (2004/2007), active braking with adaptive cruise control (2008), predictive analytics (2009), full ELD compliance (2010), forward- and driver-facing cameras (2014/2020), blind spot monitoring and lane keep assist (2019/2020), in-cab mirror cameras, smart trailer telematics on all new trailers retrofitted by 2022, and 2026 Freightliner Cascadia Gen V tractor adoption in 2025. The operating philosophy is codified in the proprietary "Maverick Way" program, supported by consecutive Platinum National Safety Awards from Great West Casualty (2018–2022) and the 2025 TCA Elite Fleet designation.
