May trucking idle policy

Watkins Shepard is LTL on the east coast. You deliver top multiple places unlike most companies where you have a couple stops.

Conway does hire students through the apprentice program.

UPS- Was told you have start on the docks at many of their locations.

Fed Ex Freight- one year recent experience per their website

As far as Flatbed and tanker companies go, many offer student programs.

SNI- Student program for tanker
Maverick- Student program for flatbed
BTC- Students program for flatbed
Boyd- student program for flatbed

Their are more out there.

AT,

Central Refrigerated use to charge.

Rockabilly,

I believe May does not hire south of I-4, JBS does not hire S. of I-20, and you will have check Knights hiring area for their Squire program.

W/S is watkins Shepard, if you can handle going solo without a trainer straight out of orientation and handle doing LTL (less then truck load "multi stop" loads, up to 25 stops per run) then in my opinion it would be better then may, BUT W/S does not hire from FL. Out of May, Knight, JBS i would say JBS would be my first choice and may would be 2nd, and i would drive a trash truck (straight truck) before i would even consider Knight.

I served 5 years in the USAF Auxillary, and i did apply to may as well as about 40 other companies as backups if i didnt get hired by W/S. And if you look back in the tread you'll see i NEVER said i hate may or that may is a bad company, its just another BFI, with 1 rule i find stupid. I would go to may before allot of other BFI's, but at the same time i feel there are lots of better options.

W/S, as well as most Newbie companies have tuition reinbursement

W/S does LTL in all 48 states and Canada. And ya i forgot about Central i remember reading that somewhere on here.

All also hire new student/drivers, as I've heard from all of them.

 

Scooter... my cousin in OR just finished up his first three weeks with May and seems to like them fine. Likes his trainer. He wants to team with me but I'm not ready to start till mid April and I'm in NY. So, I'm keeping options open and seeing what's available in this area as well.

 

Just an FYI to all interested parties, according to their website May offers tuition reimbursement.

 

Yes, they do.

 

Maybe that will help make up for the idling policy for some.
