May Trucking
Topic 20568 | Page 1
Looks like they have nice equipment (it would be cool if you could drive one of the new 2018 Cascadias they have!), good home time (from their website: "You can expect 2-3 weeks out for 11 Western Division & 3-4 weeks out for the 48 State Refrigerated Division."), and they look like an overall great company.
This is all going by their website, I have honestly never heard of them before.
We've had a few drivers in here who started their careers at May. If you'll put "May Trucking Company" in the search bar at the top of this page you'll see a lot of our past conversations where they were discussed.

Thanks for all the info on May. I did look at their web site tons of times. I just wanted to hear info from first hand exp. This page is great and i got what i asked for. Many thanks to all
Hey Daniel, I to plan on working for May. I should be starting CDL school in a few weeks. My nephew works for them and he really likes them. Good home time, decent pay. And most important to him, his DM treats him very well. As a military retiree, I value a good manager/supervisor that treats their people well. Of course there are a lot more we talked about at family functions that would be to much to list here, I think you made the right choice. One thing I would say to research upon your employment with them is to ask a lot of questions about their flat rate pay for your first year of working with them. It just may be a better option than cpm pay until you start getting the miles under your belt. Good luck!
