MAY Truckng or Earl Henderson??? Somebody, please help me decide!!!

Earl Henderson is pulling Prime trailers and freight, but you'd be working for Earl Henderson. There is a May forum on TTR.

 

The kid that wants to be in trucking had to buy out the two that don't.

 

If u like being "under the microscope" --- told what to do when to do it and how to do, with starvation miles given
then May is your choice.

 

I work for Henderson. The Prime deal has it's pros and cons so far, but the whole thing is still fairly recent and there are some kinks to work out. Overall, I'm still happy here and like the company. We got a four cent pay raise with the deal, but so far miles have really dropped. I'm really hoping that gets worked out soon. The people at Henderson are great to work with though and you're not treated like a number.

 

I just left May after 6 months to take the winter off. They were really good for me. I got tons of miles as a 48 states driver. And, yes, if you are a new driver they will be trying to keep a close relationship with you to help you and make sure you don't mess up too badly. As an experienced driver I pretty much ignored that and my DM left me alone. Live load calls with your DM by phone are the only real difference than any other company in that respect.

May is a fine company with a good rep. Don't let one person's negative review make you think otherwise.

You should also get a retention bonus of $4000 if you finish your first year with May, and also a nice bump up in pay per mile after that first year too.

 

I would go the Henderson route, They are now in bed with Prime, this should give you more freight options. May is not bad but I suggest Henderson.
