Ask A May Trainer

Yes, a very good first impression indeed. Here's a question for ya, that I didn't think to ask Leona last we talked . What kinda benefits does May provide for 401K if any? Do they match your contribution?

 

They match up to 4% I believe, as I elected 6%, to get a total of 10% and I believe it kicks in after 6 months
But, like most all trucking companies, I hope your wife works and has good health insurance!
It's $62(64?)/wk for family with a $1k ded EACH person, and not much paid after that is met lol

 

and only a lifetime max of 50,000 which i met already in one overnight visit to the hospital.

 

Just over half way through school at Western Pacific in Sacramento, and considering May Trucking. I've talked to a recuiter in Oregon and submitted an application, just wondering if they're the right company for me as I also have pre-hire letters from 3 other companies. Would like to stay western regional if possible. Is it true they on;y pay zipcode to zipcode? Forgot to ask the recruiter that question.

 

Thanks for the quick reply Efon, Thanks.
One concern I have is the apparent lack of any security at the Yolo drop yard. Checked it out on google earth and definitely not a place I'd want to leave a private vehicle for 2-3 weeks at a time. Will need to have wife drop me off and pick me up.

Just finished week 4 of 7 at school, 3 weeks behind the wheel. Class is 4 hr/day and 3 students in the truck, every other day in the yard, so not a lot of miles on the road yet. It's ok as it took a bit to start to get the hang of backing up something that bends in the middle. Dang, those 28' trailers react fast! Have C.O.L.A. and pre-trip down, as well as all endorsements. Does May haul any hazmat?

Thanks Again.

 

no you do not need your hazmat with may...... I absolutely refuse to get it.. I didn't have it last time either.. and I rolled with May trucking and Knight transportation.

if you think the 28' turn quick... wait til you get the 53' lol

good luck with everything

 

Interesting, I would have thought with the longer wheel base the 53 would react slower. We've pulled a 47, but haven't had the opportunity to try backing it yet.
