Ask A May Trainer

My 2 MTC trucks, Pete 387s, were governed at 62mph

 

61 cruise control

 

Of course Tractor has ABS .. what does that have to do with anything? ABS is not Magic.

 

61 going down hill with 80,000 lbs haha thats the only problem i have with may I've been doing this for 3 months and now that im a super trucker i want to go faster faster faster lol

 

Just askin'. If the ABS is doing what it's designed to do, wheels shouldn't lock up.

 

And they expect 640-650 miles a day? I'm not sure I can go back to that!

 

May does NOT expect 640-650 miles a day. They plan routes based on 50mph.

 

Oh OK! Thanks. That is better!

 

They give you a pre plan it is up to you weather you can do it or not. They told me base on 50 mph and add an hour for every 10 this covers you for traffic and weather and we have to know we can do it they send us the plan and we accept it if we can if you cant you tell them your eta and they may give it to you anyway or if its high priority they may have you only take part of way. The trainer told me this is how short runs are made people take loads they know.they dont have hours for.then they have to be repowered.
PS. Im very new and only post what I have learned so.far please. Im just an ELD I could be wrong about things

 

What's May's training practice straight out of driving school?
