Why I left May Trucking...

Hey Triple, hang in there buddy. Something will work out for you. This industry is brutal on families.

 

Hang in there Triple.

 

Awesome! Congrats man.

 

A little update. Things are going so well for me at Market Transport, I absolutely love it!

Consistent miles, lots of drop and hooks and home 3 to 4 times a week on average. Averaging over 11,000 miles a month just running the I-5 corridor.

I especially like the fact that my DM is also the person that plans my loads, not just an intermediary, so there's always the opportunity for flexibility on loads for me, etc. Running paper-logs is great too.

Decent insurance plan & pension contribution just kicked in, I'm as happy as a Lark

Feel free to private message me if you have any questions.

 

platinum, there a lots regional driving positions available in the Atlanta area. I have a good friend there (with only 6 mos. exp) who got a job hauling Kimberly Clark product from Atlanta to Dallas and makes decent money. He's home every weekend.

I have another good friend who just left May for a local position in Ft. Collins delivering beer for New Belgium. He also only had 6 mos. experience.

The employment market is opening for drivers now with even minimal experience. My belief is that a lot of it is due to CSA2010 and companies have to shed bad drivers from their payrolls, etc.
