I've been with May for a year now. They are hiring and they also have drivers waiting on trucks depending on the city you will be based out of. If they feel you will be a good driver they will get you out quickly if not immediately, if you are waiting, move on, they've made the decision you just haven't accepted it yet.
Good company all around, have reduced layover to $52 after the first 24 hours but they are seriously cracking down on what qualifies. If you are dispatched a pre-plan load but it doesn't load for two days, no layover!!! That is how they beat you, you technically are under a load if you have a preplan load.
Biggest problem right now, avg 2000 miles weekly. How?:
(day 1) Load at shipper - loading takes 4 hours - trip is 700 miles, takes one day (600 miles - governed at 60 mph) (day 2) and approx two hours the next day - unloading takes 4 hours, dispatched next morning for load (day 3) at 14:00 (2:00 pm), loading takes 4 hours - trip is another 900 miles, (days 4 & 5) one day at 600 miles and another day at 300 miles, (day 6) unloads next morning - takes 4 hours unload - dispatched load for (day 7) loading next morning at 10:00 am - loading takes 2 hours - trip is 400 miles (which you get some or all in that day) - (dayunloads 17:00 (5:00 pm) next day -
This has been a variation of my schedule for the last 3 months. So it SEEMS that you always have a load and are continually moving with no layover but you see how the days dissolve and then by the end of the week somewhere around 2000 miles give or take 150 depending on the week.
Is the same for 30 or s0 drivers I communicate with regularly at May and has been for the same time frame.
