MAY Trucking Co.

Hey Rob......Sounds like your happy with May. I haven't herd much negative stuff about them on these forums. I've talked to some May drivers at Georgia Pacific in Woodland Ca. They all seem to like the co. I'm going to put in a pre hire app with them today and see what happens. I had a DUI 20 or 30 years ago so I'm not sure if that will come up ?? Do you know anything about their background checking ?? Well maybe I'll see ya .. Sal

 

Hey Rob that's an excellent thread. I'm sceduled to go to Brooks this week to start. Can you tell me what is involved in the first day of Orientation?

 

Not sure how many times I've posted on here about breakdown, but it has got out of hand finally & my s/o is waiting at a motel to get a new truck. Wait til he adds up all the missed hours he could have driven!!

I'm sure it's a couple thousand dollars worth at least. His dm seems to be pretty good, but this is bad. It is a 07 Peterbilt that started out with 3000 miles. I'm going to find out when the truck was issued, figure out the miles he's driven subtract his three days off, to get an average. It doesn't look good.

Quoting Breakdown: Did you check your coolant level etc?...

S/O - What do you think I'm doing during pretrip inspection? (that could have been told only to me)

Day one take a tour of the terminal have a phyical (unless you have a card less then 6months old) and pee in a cup. Find out about the company and go over log books and go eat at one of the local Buffets.
Good luck.

 

MMM Hometown Buffet has a tender steak with your name on it! Only a few miles away in Keizer, I believe. Good Luck doubledog!

 

Great Post I'm in 2682 and what you said is pretty much how it is. I've been with May for 5years now and yes life is not perfect but they are sure bending over backwards to work with you when you have a problem with the truck or if you have a strong need to get home. Just home for a couple of days and found your post, good luck maybe I'll see ya at brooks or Layton.

 

Glad To Have Read What You All Have To Say About May. I'm Going Through The Application Process Right Now. I Had Read A Few Negative Things About Them, Which You'll Find At Any Big Company. Sure Glad To Hear Something Positive Thanks

 

I've talked to the pensacola, florida branch. I have a pre hire out of school. But was told that it didn't mean i was going get hire. Thats what they told me.So I said when do you thank you going to be hiring. she replyed check back in 30 days. So I did. she said that they would not be doing anythang until the thanksgiving. But my son girl friend dad is a driver for may. He been driving for may many years. runs only east to west. When he came in we talked, he told me that there was 4 trucks just sitting there. He talk to his guy; who said there empty waiting on driver to fill them. We talk that night and was going to see if he could pull some strings for me. He came back with this story of how they are on a hiring freeze for florida. Said there weeden out drivers. I saw the branch manger at the store he driving may mimi van; I said hello Asked how the hiring going. He told me they are waiting on trucks to become empty to fill them with studens drivers. He said that may was going to buy more trucks; but were waiting on the economy. So called today and she told me they were unable to do any hiring around the hoildays be cause tring to get loads in for drivers coming home and loads going out when they go back out. So I asked when do thank you might me doing any hiring. She siad try back in 60 days or so. Yea right!! what going on!!
