    Mje might want to work on his vertical jump, shot put and javelin throws.

    At least a 4.5 40 yard speed would be useful too in the event he gets hired by the wrong company, that way he can run away as fast as he can.

    Two types of people on this earth. Drivers, and people who wanna be drivers. Gawd this Mickey's tall boy tastes good.

    I have been driving for May for over a year and if you want to make money you need to do the 48 states. 11 westerns just don't pay the best. And on the days off it is the terminal theft you are out of to get your days off. Brooks is the hardest to get days off 6 weeks out 3 days off. Others terminals are better to work with. May pays the bills yes but you have your days of sitting and days of driving hopefully more days of driving. You have to take the good with the bad and the bad with the good.

    If you are out for 6 weeks and then home for only 3 days then thats on you! You have to be more forcefull and DEMAND the time off after 3-4 weeks on the road. Talk to the Terminal Manager (Kyle). Talk to the V.P (Scott Smith).... (Brooks, OR)

    I have no problems with getting time off. My DM is great and gives me the time I want BUT I am not out of brooks. I have talked and seen drivers out of Brooks that have nothing but problems with the DMs in Brooks on getting there off time. Never get home on time and always have to argue and negotiate with certain DMs.

    I NEVER had ANY problem making money OR getting home while with May.
    But, making money AND getting home time? lol
    Great company to start out, Brook is the worst terminal, P-Cola the best.
    I'm glad I started with them, but that being said, I'm now home 2-3 days/wk AND making $5k+/mo...
