Mayday Mayday! Don't go to May Trucking or do I don't care Ha

If you're referring to the guy who killed the boy, no - the guy was a complete basket case when hired. I'm sure there were plenty of red flags to support a correct decision to not hire him. They did, and he dragged their already crappy name through the mud again.

 

The dude that trained me had some stories. He had one tranny with straw hair that cried for almost 3 weeks. Think he was going transgender.
He had another, this is back when we used trip paks, that pulled a knife on him and tossed two trips of trip paks out the window going down the highway. He got out at a Flying J and was subsequently arrested.

My stories of training are chronicalled on here. They are absolutely true, and so F weird you couldn't make the stuff up if you tried.
Tears to your eyes funny, but I actually lived them.

 

You meet the most well rounded folks at the bus terminal.

 

Oh I bet. Anyone who has been associated with trucking (42 years for me) have some stories to tell. My final employer really took the cake, amazing that I was able to hang on and succeed for 13 years before going out with a legal settlement and a bit of cash.

 

Well you know this trucking stuff. I mean like they just make such a big deal out of this on time thing. Why don't they just chill out man.

 

That’s what I was wondering. There’s nothing in that book that’s rocket science. Lol

All my students had to do was pass a trip planning test without using a calculator and a road test.

 

I worked for May for 6mos to the day. They had some real crappy runs, crappy equipment & a dispatch office with a locked door & a intercom to talk through. But they gave real road tests & would go above & beyond to try to get people qualified to drive.
IMO you would have to be an extra special tool to get sent home by them, because they had plenty of regular tools steering their trucks.

 

What terminal, Denver?
