May trucking

Hey big ray are you headed north out of cali this evening, if you run by brooks tomarrow and say hey. I'll most likely be hanging out in the d lounge waiting on a trainer.

 

i'll be back in there in the morning, waiting on a piece of paper and a trainer. black cap and glasses, lt brown carhart

 

are they still talking about fuel increase on Tues?

 

Big Ray....at the house hanging with the wife and kids. Ginger says hello. Where are you headed? Ill be going out Fri or Sat. Your fuel mileage will go up if you are heading east. Mine sored back up over 7. Multi stops? Do you have a plant load? Ill catch up with you when I get out!

 

Well I've been out running since sat morning and have run over 2k mi so far, so hopefully i'll be ready to test out and get my own truck early next week.

 

I am a fellow May driver. There are some gripes, some praises, as with any company. They are pretty tight on safety, and I respect that. Sometimes though, it becomes too.. irritating. But what must be done, must be done. Would I recomend them for a starter company? Absolutely. My complaint would be that I only see 2100-2400 miles a week. The truck will run 65, 05 379 and all.. getting 5.9 mpg. It has the tell-tale green sticker and all, but I won't complain that it's going too fast. I do agree that I wish they didn't cut the balls off so bad that it doesn't like climbing hills.

For the new guys, eager as ever to get out of training and in that truck of your own..

I was there. I wanted nothing more than to get that truck of my own. Now that I have been driving, I find that I needed more/better training. And talking with some fellow May drivers, they concur. My personal dealings was with a religious zealot whom insisted I recieve a bible lesson or three a day. Not my style. He was there to convert, not to train. But as I said, when others beyond me lack, it says something. Do the most amount of backing possible. Ask every question you can think of, regardless of how stupid you deem it to be. I think I'd even be willing to go back a few days for some hard core training myself.

As is, if you see me around, C.B. handle of K.C., and I always have a KC Chiefs mini-helmet on the dash of my 379, 4131.

Take care, be safe
