    Just for the record I do not believe there is any difference between May and Gordon, well Gordo maybe better, but that is not saying much. Any driver worth his weight can do better than May almost anywhere. I believe May out right steals from there drivers, they take safety bonuses away for issues that driver may have happen from simply following Mays rules, like those stupid tire tags.

    And people can do alot worse. If you're happy why leave? Some people enjoy may. Some hate them some think its alright. That's every company in every industry!

    Yep i just left may last month, I knew i would do my full year before heading off. But when I have to beg for fuel, beg for DEF, and have money taken out of my paycheck (which is illegal no matter what they tell you in orientation) for breaking down twice in 2 weeks because of it, when even after just getting the truck from the shop and all I get is 2 gallons of def.. when that becomes the industry standard, I'll go fill out an application at McDonalds.

    as its been said before, your DM can make you or break you. my first 2 dms i loved, i never had any issues. Efron knows, cause my first dm is now where he works lol but these new DM's that have come in, they dont know anything, or i should say, the ones I had. all of the denver office, besides the head DM, are all new. two of them are prior drivers, i never had them as my DM but they seem like they get along well with the drivers. the others, it just seems like they hired, spent 2 days next to one of the other DM's and that was it, they know how to send a message every morning but try to send a free form with a question and I never got a response, how do you change a drivers load, take it off of him and make it a repower and not even tell him. I got to the yard and the local guy was like sooo yeah you gonna drop that? um, maybe at 5am after I deliver it, then find out hes the one delivering it. go upstairs and say whats going on and ask the head DM whats up and she then tells him ooops lol, nice. Like i said at first, my MAIN reason for leaving May was to move east, but there are lots of other reasons that were popping up, new rules, new people, that made things pretty ridiculous and so for ME it was time to go.

    I'm not so sure May is enforcing a 55 mph speed limit in States limited to 55 mph like California and Oregon. I drive the I-5 corridor and many May drivers are doing 60 to 61 mph in Oregon and California.
