Which company to Choose Werner, May Trucking Company, Freymiller

I didn't know May had so many fanboys.

Isn't that the company that sued for their ability to charge driver for fuel for idling?

They were famous for firing drivers for having GPS>

 

Haven't heard or read any of that.

 

I watched the video. It's almost 6 years old. The guy said they no longer charge drivers for fuel for idling.
The trucks have optimized idle now.

 

Yeh you're right.

It is just the attitude of a trucking company would sue a driver for idle costs that steer me away from them.

 

Before opti-idle many companies would fire drivers for too much idle time which burns diesel. Caused a lot of headaches for drivers and trucking company owners.

 

Lawsuit was first filed 2011, and later countersued by May in 2017, so long after opti-idle like technology have been in place.

I first heard about the system around 2000 from another mechanic. As he was talking, it had been in service for a while then.

I had the system first while driving in a 2007 truck. But, honestly don't know when it was first an option.

It is likely May did not purchase opt-idle and figured they could just get it off the driver.

 

Guess Swift is getting so many applications they had to do something to slow it down.

 

. swift says they wont have driver facing camera
