Ask A May Trainer

Any drivers for May using a cpap? If so how do you run them without an apu, was told that if you run it through an inverter it would burn up the modules in it.

 

My husband works for may and uses a cpap with his inverter , idles 1/2 hr each night and it runs fine all night. No idle charges now.

 

I had no problems with mine, either.............ran all night..

 

I am a new May Driver....I am Thinking of moving from 11 Western to Refer 48. I wanted to know what kind of weekly mileage you might getting and I do realize it can be different for each driver.

Thanks for you assistance in advance!

 

3700 last week
3200 the week before
On a 2270 trip right now...I have no idea why anyone would ever limit themselves with dry only. Half my loads in my reefer trailers are dry...let's see you put a reefer load in your dry van lol
But my wheels are always turning...
Hell, I had an 11 driver behind me at Americold yesterday, because they have too many reefer loads rght now..

 

Thank you very much!!! I had thought that was the case which makes my decision real simple.

Have a Safe trip!

 

Been busy fellas with my trainer, cool guy we get along well, struggling a little trying to shift smoother in this pete, i felt easier with the freight shaker, We drove through 81 exit 29 in VA Tornado blew out the whole petro and every truck parked in it some scattered across the highway and down the hill. pretty nasty 5 miles of destruction from what we can see, good thing are truck is so slow~ 61mph. Be safe fellas!

 

Waiting to find out if I can start school on Monday (crossing fingers) This thread has been great. 2 questions I haven't seen come up is...

how is mileage calculated:
Hub miles?
Computer program such as PCMiler, HHG, etc..?
Dispatched miles?
Loaded miles?
(I'm unclear of what the last 2 actually mean?)
Does the company pay for:
Layovers? Detention time? Canceled loads? Multiple drops and picks?

Thank you!!
