    I am graduating from cdl school (chatt state) on july 28 and am looking to go with May trucking. I was wondering if there are any drivers from the nashville terminal that can give me any insight on how the like working for May trucking in the area. I.E. do you get the miles you want: what about home time? do you get to take your truck home. do they have good equipment? I have seen a lot of recruiters from many different companies and it is hard to tell what is real and what is over promised. The best way to tell is from the horses mouth so to speak.

    Is that Chinese restaurant still open in Monteagle? Lots of truck parking and good food. Good friend of mine lives in Monteagle; old Navy buddy.

    You live in a good spot for some good trucking jobs. Best wishes.

    Yeah Shan's is still open but not what it used to be. I live in the center of town and could not fit truck and trailer in the drive. I can leave the trailer at the truck stop and bobtail to the house but don't know if the company will allow it.

    Apply with Tyson Foods, those drivers make some good money and trucks run 70 mph. One Atlanta driver posted he bumped $60K his first 12 months as a solo driver. Check their website.

    If you decide on May, you will have the best terminal manager they have in Dan Boyd. After he leaves to open a new terminal or go back to the corporate office, all bets are off. He was great in Denver when I was with May. The Nashville terminal is new, but they do a lot of freight in and out of the Atlanta area.

    Congratulations!

    Get as much truck driving experience as possible over at May Trucking, while simultaneously trying to keep as CLEAN a work record and driving record as possible.

    After 1 to 2 years, you may want to take Chinatown's suggestion and apply at Tyson Foods.

    In addition to having some of the best pay & benefits package, Tyson Foods has a reputation of treating their drivers very well.

    Good luck to you!
