    May trucks are moving road blocks... I think they are governed at 61 mph... Used to be 55 I believe.

    I guess you would rarely have to worry about speeding inadvertently.

    I used to drive for them.

    Good:

    - They’re true long haul. I averaged around 1800 miles per load

    - They’ll leave you alone for the most part once you show you can do your job

    - They have good training

    - Their equipment is well maintained

    - The office folk are all pretty easy to deal with

    The Bad:

    - The trucks are governed at 61 mph

    - The breakdown department is staffed by former nazis

    - They don’t have direct deposit (pay goes on your fuel card)

    - Their yards (and driver facilities) are despicable. I’ve never seen one, but I envisioned a homeless shelter anytime I stepped onto a May yard.


    Overall, I got along fine at May. I drove out of the Pensacola terminal.

    They have their issues, but there are far worse places to go.

    Survive a year with no rollover, rear end collision or hot piss test and my company will hire you for 80-104k with a year of clean or semi clean experience. It’s flatbed. You will work hard. But you’ll be paid hard too.
