Ask A May Trainer

Nobrand welcome to.it, everyone has a different experience no one has the same exact situation. Could be worse, I could be a wiener riding w joker.

 

Got my call from Opal yesterday... did my DAC and Background and I was approved ,,, doing job verification now,,, pushing for beginning of Oct for orientation < do they do it in Phoenix? > ...as the Mrs and I have some stuff to take care of,,,,,

 

You and the Mrs.? Are you going to team drive?

Here's a couple's blog regarding their travels on the road together. Husband works for May Trucking, she rides along.

Pretty interesting blog entries, especially if you go back and read the progression from the start about 6 mos. ago

no,,, the Mrs isn't coming with me,,, I would lose my mind if that happened,,,I love her to death but not 24/7..lol..... we have some stuff to take care of here at homne BEFORE I leave,,,,,

 

Leaving Brooks tomorrow with my trainer, headed for Layton to pick up a brand new 587.

 

Wow trainees get brand new ones?? Depends on where your based out.of.

 

I wish! No, the new truck is for my trainer. But hey, at least I'll get to drive one for a couple weeks. A fellow I went through school with came up with me, but failed the skills test. Was sorry to see him head home.

When all you've trained with are 28 footers, #### those 53's look loonngg in the mirrors!

 

Actually one time a trainee of mine did get a new ProStar after he solo(ed) out. I was driving a Pete with 400k miles

 

I met a driver from Denver older guy soloed in may or June got a brand new prostar. Met him in Salinas Kansas, nice guy.

 

Well i got the call that i have been waiting for.Opal made my day by telling me to be in Layton for orientation on the 13th. I am some what nervous and a whole lotta excited. Even though i have drove in the past and in the last year still a little nervous about the road test (why i dont know) and being with a trainer. However being with a trainer and learning the May way can only better my chances at succeding. Any ways hope to meet all of you and once again thanks for all of the information. I am gonna keep posting on here about my experiences with May or here somewheres lol.Drive safe
