Info on May

Ok, first off my story, I've been looking into trucking recently as a good recession proof career and I love to drive there were other factors that brought me to this decision. I have decided my school, now comes the other half of my career choice: What company to go with? My first choice was Swift, they seemed decent enough and I was following a diary on here this got me interested in flatbedding, I've heard good things about May and wanted everyone's opinion on them the good with the bad. Do not get me wrong I am not looking to glamor up this company and get it in my head that this is the best one out there with no bad drivers which have been factored in, on the other side of the scale I'm not trying to get it in my head that this company is full of moronic drivers either I just want honest results. So a little about me, I am currently 21 13days from 22 that's how I got shot down from swift, they ran me through half of the application process then informed me that I needed to be 23 at least so I'm exercising my other options I was looking at Gordon but I haven't heard much about May's benefits, cpm, miles ect so can anyone give me their own honest opinion/experience with this company?

 

Sweet, and thanks for the info I was actually just reading through a forum you were involved in over idling charges have they considered APU's recently? Aswell, I'm young and my work history is kind of jumpy ranging from 2 months at a job to a year and a half, do they look hard at your employment history? Also does May do flatbed?

 

OK so I have a new concern that I need to deal with before I progress any further with my schooling (I don't want to spend the money if it isn't going to get me anywhere) you say they look at your previous employment history so I have almost a year (11 months) of running my own business but it was illegitimate didn't get it registered and what not but I held onto all of my receipts from my customers I even have positive references from most of them (didn't grab the numbers of them all) how will this impact my hire-ability if this does not count I have 4 months of schooling and like 24 months of work experience.

 

Thank you for the input, it was not my last job but my last one was only 2 months, and I only worked about 2 weeks because I was doing disaster relief in North Dakota (The Minot flood) they pulled me out 2 days before they pulled the rest and I sat around on standby till I started looking at other careers.
