    just finished first day at may so far so good. They seem like a stand up company. Mostly paperwork and road test. so far so good.

    well i got my truck on friday its a 379 pete. I like it!! Very smooth drive I had never driven a pete longnose before just a kenworth and i gotta say I like the pete better. Anyways they got me a load home so i could get my stuff for the truck. I will go back on monday morning. I already been to two of their shippers and their directions were good and they were easy to find. One other good thing is that May uses transflow which is way better than trippack! They have your bols immediately. The equiptment here is very well maintained, I had to recover my truck and it was in better shape than the "detailed" trucks Ive gotten from other companies! If you are interested in may be forewarned logs logs logs they are very strict on logs and you will get canned if you are cooking them so if you dont know how to log legally you better learn real quick. If you have any questions let me know Ill let you know how my first full week goes as far as mile downtime etc. Talk to you later.:biggrin_255:

    Wow it's nice to read something good. I have been thinking about working for May but have read so many bad things, not just about May. I have been trying to make up my mind about where to go. I think May just will be right for me.

    Teardrop keep up the posts. From what I read from this site, May maybe. I'd be curious how much they freight they move thru San Diego. I'll follow your thread to make sure you stay pleased with them. BOL
