Well i dont really like to say bad things about anyone but drivers looking to work at May trucking be warned!!!!
first off they tell you just what you want to hear so you will work for them well dont they all do that?? And like most companies they say there turn over rate is lower then any other company!!! well that is not true they lost 40+ driver in one week!!! why? no freight = no miles you get between
1600 and 2600 miles a week!!!! well with the cost of things today for me with a family that is not enough further on most every load you are forced to do a restart on your log book meaning once you deliver your load you do not get your next load till about 24 to 30 hours have past!!!! when you ask were your load out of there is your osl that is what they call a DM
all you get is there is no freight or freight is slow or my best one is they are working on it!!! well you ask nicely for a load then ya beg for a load and after a while you have to get mean and complain!!! the farther east and south they send you the worst it gets!!!! this is a cold hearted fact!!!
dont idle your truck over 10 percent you will have to pay for the fuel oh and that is at the highest pump price!!!! they also say they are the truckers company bull crap you know the runny stuff that comes squrting out of a bull haulers trailer!!!!! try to get help when the check engine light come on they say take it to the dealer when you go on your home time!!!
get a fix it tickit at a dot inspection you best fix it your self!!!!! same as the check engine light!!! it took 2 weeks to get a exhaust manifold gasket
replaced and that is after you scrape the dot sticker off the windshield and tell them you will ask for an inspection the next time you go over a super coop!!!!! then when you get totaly mad and want no more of them
and tell them to send you home so you can turn there truck in they send you to one of there terminals and then tell you to turn there truck in there
and tell you to get your own way home!!!!!!! that is the GODS HONEST TRUTH!!!!!!!! so get home first before you tell them to take a hike!!
i know also for a fact that they have lost alot of there customers and are about to lose a few more!!!! and as for any bounus pay you are ALWAYS short of the milage limit they do there best to keep you below that mark
as for there lease to own trucks beware there maintenance of there trucks is very bad 4 to 6 thousand miles over the scheduled milage before they do the pm on the trucks and they are all b services!!!!
i have seen comanies cut corners short change on your payroll but may trucking take the cake on all fronts they do have some drivers that have been with them a long time and they keep them moving and making money
so they will put out a good word for driver out there on the road but dont all trucking companies have guy like that????
yes you can say it sounds like this guy is mad at this company!!
to tell you the truth yes i am i am very mad at may trucking but i do not need to lie to state the truth six days to do a 2600 mile run you do the math!!!!thanks to this company i am looking at a bankrupty that is the fact you will be looking at if you have a family to support if you work for may trucking!!! i could keep going on but the truth is i feel post this thread is a waist of my time but you all need to know most of the driver that i know that have left may trucking wish they could forget that they even worked for them you will not like this comany they are worse the CrEngland and Swift!!!!!!!!!!

WOW !!! Thanks for THAT warning...

May trucking certainly does not sound too good to me.Their maint.upkeep sounds a whole lot like Swifts.However when you quit a job,I think it is a good idea to turn the truck in at a terminal.In fact with some new laws on terrorism,you could be held liable if that truck is used in an act of terrorism.Never just abandon a truck,and quit.I imagine you picked your truck up at a terminal,so it would make sense to turn it in there.Whether or not they furnish you a ride home is strictly up to them.After all you are the one quitting.If I quit a job,I feel it is my responsibilkity to find a way home.If they are a bad company to work for,just quit,but do it responsibly.

Road Dog is 100% correct- the ultimate insult would be that you don't turn the truck into a terminal, they then put an abandonment on your DAC, and you get stuck going to some shady company because they are the only one that will hire you with your DAC.

well i was at one of there terminals in layton utah they said they would get me home but when i unloaded in utah they said to turn the truck in at there layton yard and then i could find my own way home!!!!!!
i guess when you serpass the 140% turn over rate or what ever it is now
and may hits you to deep in your pocketbook and they know your mad about it they just dump ya like garbage

I am going to School at BSU's Truck school and last week three of May's drivers dropped by the yard on the way through. They are VERY pleased with May and are getting all the miles they can handle, so I am sorry to hear your experiance with May did not work out. I find it intriguing that you joined this forum and your first post is a slam job...........My instructer says all he hears is, good coming down May pipeline. Good equiptment, good miles and no asking to log illegal.

For the record. There are allot of smaller companies/ Owner Operators who do not use DAC/USIS
Services. Most of them are good
.
In fact I refused to work for a company that used DAC/USIS.

Use of these services does not indicate a good company any more then a company who does not use them is shady.

DAC/USIS is a blight on this industry.

Those guys were paid to come to that school. But go ahead and go to work for MAY. LOL Your a funny guy.

They pay ex students to come by the school and lie to their instructor..............if you think so alright, I guess freight REALLY is slow. It's funny how this forum seems to be the only one where May is being slammed. I guess the other drivers on the other forums giving positive feedback are getting paid also, including the one's who no longer work for May. BTW May is third on my list.

Right behind Swift and Covenant right? LOL!

I was on the road for a very long time and MAY was never considered a good company by anybody I know.
