May Approved My Application

Not any more..Main office is Brooks, Or..where all the big wigs hang
out..

 

yep hq and the dry division is in Brooks, layton houses the reefer division, and then theres various terminals around...payette, denver, fontana, phoenix, and pensacola.

 

You're welcome, and it sounds like you'll do OK - just remember: don't think of May as a training company and all the negative connotations that term presents. A better phrase would be: A trucking company that will provide instruction and guidance. (It sounds strange, I know, but it does work positively if you think of it that way....)

I have a lifelong friend who's driven for all the northwest trucking companies, May included. He said he had a run in with Marvin, the owner one time, but other than that, it was a good experience.

 

Just curious: How long have they been in Brooks?

 

Dont know for sure, but awhile....not a bad yard per say ---
truck parking is in a rocked lot. just across the street is a Pilot T/S
and a Diner(mho-not that good), 2 showers and a drivers lounge.

 

I drove for may for 6 months, they treated my very well, kept me running good miles and got me home when i requested.i hated to leave them but my son got really sick so i had to take a local driving job to stay close to home.

 

I hope it goes well for you. I have also decided to try to get on with May. The Payette office is fairly close to me. I have been pre-hired and have the option of 11 western and 48. I am thinking about doing the 48. 11 western sounds best because I have a family, but I am thinking that 48 will pay better and give May the impression I am flexible. I am going into this with the frame of mind that if I give my best, I will hopefully have a good time and the company will value me.

On another note, I love driving trucks so far, Ive always wanted to drive a big rig since I was a young kid. I am finishing up at Sage this coming week, and its been an absolute blast, I highly recommend that school. Ive conquered the range driving, and have mastered the 10 speed Freightliner we have, today though the Short nosed Pete taught me who was boss. I finally got the hang of the 13 speed after a couple hours. But not entirely lol

I am an avid Drag Racer and race with a manual, so I have some bad habits. I'm great at shifting my car, but it doesn't help with driving the trucks.... I must learn that the trucks do not like to be powershifted...

 

Ooops double post..

Good luck finishing up school cudascious. Hopefully we'll see ya on the road soon.
