Ask A May Trainer

At the end of the day it doesn't matter what color your truck is, or what name is on the side of it. We're all on the same team, playing for the same reasons. To make money, see the sights, and get home safely to the ones we love. I don't care where you go Joker, you can put in your two cents anytime. Best of luck to you down that long white line.

Nope, you chime in anytime you want buddy.

 

Not sure how I overlooked this company. Have a few questions for May drivers and trainers:

Does May hire out of Georgia?
What kind of miles are you getting currently?
What kind of freight do you haul?
How long is the training for entry level drivers and what all is involved, ie., one week orientation then six weeks with a trainer?
How does May pay, practical, HHG? DO they force per diem?
How long do they prefer you stay out before you take home time?
Do they allow inverters in the trucks and if so how big?
Any Canada and/or NYC runs? I assume May runs all 48 from what I can tell.
E-logs or paper logs?
What kind of trucks does May have and are they governed?

Any other information anyone can throw in will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Awesome. Thanks. I did forget to ask about health insurance. What do they offer and do you by chance know what family coverage would cost?

Thanks again for all the other information!

 

That would be funny if we ended up at the same company Crusty! I finish in May too so like you said...

 

the health insurance sucks, they re self insured 50,000 max lifetime 1000 deuctible 38 a week single if you re a smoker i think 22 if you dont so prob like 70 but dont quote me on it idk for a family

 

okay what im trying say , i drove for usa truck back in 2000, i was headed north too pa with a load, they said i had a repower , fine i told em, head over too western pa, i was in the east pa, got there, o-crap, goes into canda, i told them on my app i did not have passport and i told them i dont have a passport in person to them and in there safety office i told em,and they told me thats fine , you dont need one, they told me , i mean my dispacther said i had too take this load, well we had colorful words over the phone , while i was still in pa, , then he told me i was fired then,they came with a wrecker and took the tractor, funny thing is , there was anthor driver there and he told me he was waiting for a load for two days, so he got my load and i got his , becuse he didnt want to go to canda ether, hum so im thinking it was a setup ether way, so that why my hire rite report say quit under dispacth, so that basicly thinks that they screwed me from ever driving a truck again, and i can drive too, i can drive anywere but up there, and get the load there on time too
