Ask A May Trainer

As long as you did not let your cdl expire you might be ok. Just like pjw044 said, call and ask. The number for the Layton, UT terminal is 1-800-251-8846.

I had a student that drove for May back in '08 that let his cdl expire. He was told he had to go back to a school. He could not take a refresher either. I thought that was a bit much, but I don't make the rules either.

 

May has a lot of freight go through the Layton yard, dry and refer. Since it is on the 15, you will stop there quite a bit. They train out of Layton as well.

 

Unfortunately we do not have apu's. If I am stopped somewhere in the summer that is excessively hot or humid, I idle. Then in the morning I submit an idle request. Most of the time it gets approved. In the winter May has their trucks equipped with bunk heaters. The heater I had in my Pete 387, just barely turned on, put out plenty of heat to be comfortable.

I have a 1500 watt inverter with a fridge/freezer combo that has a separate door for the freezer. Got it at target. I also have a microwave and my laptop. The batteries stay charged enough over night and into the next day without having to idle or turn off/unplug the fridge.

 

I am on the refer side and I have occasionaly taken a dry load. Just all depends on the area you are in and what freight there is. It doesn't bother me much honestly. Sometimes it is nice to not have a refer running at night.
