May fueling question

from what an ex-may driver(my curent co-worker) they tell you were to fuel, they use them all. so go ahead and just get all the cards

 

May tells you where to fuel till they get to know you. There no idle is a bigger pain than fuel, When I was there it was paperlogs and as long as the fuel times matched they allowed you to lie your ### off without question.

Always check your equipment well before hooking to it or moving into it. Take photos of all damage, check tread depth on tires, cover your butt.

 

Whenever possible, you fuel at May terminals that have fuel. The rest of the time, they tell you when and where to fuel. It's usually (but not always) at Pilots.

Shower credits are not a problem for me, having the time to use them is another matter.

 

The delivery times are almost always too tight. They'll let a loaded trailer sit until the very last minute before assigning it to a driver. The problem is that it will look good on paper, but not be practical. (I understand maximizing the use of the equipment, but gee whiz guys...)

If I want to deliver on time, I need to run out the clock, and so I end up stopping at a Rest Area, not a Pilot, since by the time I can stop it is too late to get a spot at one. I rarely sleep at Pilots, so if I want to shower it needs to be en route, in the middle of the day. (Their lots are usually completely filled by 1600 and they don't seem to ever have any empty spaces until after 0800)

Yeah, I know all that is on me (everything is the driver's fault) but that is why my Pilot shower credits expire so often.

 

I see advertisements about a new pay package at May trucking. Last I checked one year experience paid 35 cents a mile. Did they raise the pay?
