Ask A May Trainer

Try Swift then. They allow women with men trainers. Most entry level companies are 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

 

Im ok with the micro management while I'm new, because I do not know were the cheapest fuel is or any thing. I think it's good to have help on your side at first.

 

I am a student at US Trucking school in Denver. My top consideration for the company i'd like to work for is May. I just have a question regarding home time.

I have a son that lives in Windham, Connecticutt. Can I take my hometime there? Even though my residence is in Denver, CO? If I can take hometime in CT, where do I park truck? Or can I take it home if there is room?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Scott

 

Scottbrat - I would ask your DM. The closest terminal is Covington, KY. They may have a secure place they prefer you to park when in CT.

 

Very unlikely you would ever get to CT for time off, in one of their trucks anyways. May does run into CT from time to time. However, in the three years I drove for them I think I went into CT once.

Timing your days off away from your home terminal, which would be Denver most likely, can be a little tricky too.

So, I would not base your decision to work for May on them getting you to CT for home time. Also, May frowns on drivers taking the truck to their homes. Not saying it isn't ever done, it's just not done that often.

 

But they wouldn't get a DM until they get through orientation....and then it's too late!
Don't believe the recruiter, by the way. Mine didn't exactly lie, she just stretched the truth in impressive ways.

 

they finally got a place in KY?

 

Here's what they're showing for OCs - http://www.maytrucking.com/drivers_company_drivers_oc_locations.php

 

I get my own pete monday the def tank is on wrong side though wtf? I hope they let me buy def out of jugs cause I'm not going thru a fuel island backwards. Who was the genius who approved that design.

 

You won't be able to buy DEF out of jugs. The trucks need DEF so rarely, you will just fill up at a May yard anyway. This is nothing to fret about. Believe me!
