Maybe so, but I've never been at a truck stop and it be completely silent. I appreciate your reply but it doesn't answer my question about May Trucking.

Newbie..NO you will not be charged if you have a pet. I have a dog and never have been..I still do not idle needlessly.
newbie73 Thanks this. -
Miles are Zip code to Zip code. You will be paid about 5 to 9% below real miles driven
Idle: 10% most of the year. 45% May-August. Exceptions given if you request them via Qualcomm
I am a current driver with May. -

I don't really do anything magical. I just try to stay 3 steps ahead with my planning.
- I don't do like some guys and try to run 10 - 11 hours a day. All they accomplish is running out of hours and having to do a 34 reset. I run on recaps for weeks at a time.
In fact, I make sure I average 10 or less total on duty time every day. Of course there are times I might have to run longer, but that's why I said "average". That way I never run out of hours.
- Communicate, communicate, communicate. I keep my DM up to date with ETAs and if there's too much time on a load, I get the appointment changed or try to drop it.
I dropped one today that had too much time on it and grabbed another that delivers a day earlier for the same miles.
And I generally stay preplanned because I keep my DM informed of my ETAs.
Those are the main keys to my success at May.
And, I have a great DM.born&raisedintheusa and 207nomad Thank this. -
Call_Me_The_Breeze Thanks this.

My experience is the same as yours with the 5-9% on the paid miles, and also with the exceptions on idle. I've never been charged. But, I don't idle much. I happen to be pretty cold natured. In fact, I banked almost $300 in idle bonus during the summer. LolLast edited: Nov 18, 2017
