    I was told over a year ago that turning the trucks badk to 57-58 was being considered.
    Joker, why are you still there? May USED to be a great company to work for, but clearly their interests/goals have shifted, and they are looking to just be another BFI
     
    Paloma Thanks this.

    LOL and don't forget the new rpm shifting guidelines....... Yes you will drive correctly and shift correctly at the right rpm or you can hit the road they don't care what type of driver or trainer you are..... Look in the mirror your just a piece of equipment and May owns ya and if as an employee you refuse to do as mandated yes you will be out the door....... MAY has people sitting at home that just completed training waiting for a truck to be assigned so none of us drivers are safe at any time..... Really is better pay and benefits at other carriers Interstate and Crete and Kb Transport to name the top three I am aware of........

    safety? What? How is going 20 miles an hour slower than other vehicle safe? Swift had to turn their trucks up cause Arizona was going to pull their Authority to drive in that State cause they were driving 55 .. And Swift is based out of there.

    May is looking so save fuel, but limiting to 55 is NOT the answer. I know more about fuel than any moron in any office at May, that includes my friend Kermit.

    I own and drive a 2008 Long Nose Peterbilt .. i average 7.5 mpg ... Driving at 63-65. When I drive 55, my fuel milage drops..why? The engine is working too hard to pull the loads.

    I run the same set up at May trucks, cummins ISX with a 13 speed.

    What the hell does a newbie DM know about trucking? The only real Dispatchers are former truck drivers that know and understand the life, the conditions and the business. You dont learn that behind a screen in a partitioned office ...
