    I've got my year in at Swift, and while I love my job, not my employer so much. A friend asked me if I had looked into May.

    Does it make sense to switch to another entry-level company?
    Does May actually communicate? Things like load changes, t-call cancellations?
    How are their truck maintenance/shops?
    Do you have to fight to get your detention or other non-mileage pay?

    Hey Blue quick question should I do the 90 and 90? I'm choosing to do 48 states. My orientation date is Oct 2 providing I pass my test on the 26th.
