New driver reefer questions.

May Trucking has opti-idle. The heat & air will operate automatically when the temp. reaches a certain temperature.[/QUOTE]
I worked for, I left there employment because of there taking of safety bonus, because I refude to pull a trailer that needed tires, they will also control your truck idle if you have not driven enough miles,I lived thru it, not hear say.
It has to be colder than 45 degrees or above 90 degrees for them to even consider idle. But idle time then was controled by mile driven, so if your stuck in Cheyenne in a snow storm, and you delivered in Denver, you may not have enough mile credits to idle.

I doubt you have worked for them. They also like shuttling drivers via greyhound, which also sucks.

No, I haven't worked for May. My information is from what other drivers have posted and what May has on the website.
Opti-idle, the truck decides when to idle. The company doesn't control that, the truck computer does. Many companies are now installing opti-idle to save fuel costs.
How recently did you drive for May?

You still drive for May? I thought you drive for a different company now.

 

You still drive for May?[/QUOTE]No, but the ownership of May is still the same.

 

Do you drive at all. Or have you driven commerically in this country

 

I've never driven in another country other than the USA. I live in Las Vegas. I now spend several months a year vacationing in Asia.

 

I know you live in Vegas, So you are no longer a Commerical driver.

 

I have a Nevada CDL with all endorsements and a current medical card. I don't have to work unless I want to. Enough about me; I want to help the guy find a job that meets his wants and needs.

 

Thank you answered my question,
