May Trucking
Topic 16060 | Page 1
We've had some drivers start with May in the past. If you put May Trucking in the search bar at the top of the page, I'm pretty sure you'll find some info.
They would be a great place to make a start.
I'm with May. Got my truck august 16 and just repo were dropped my 3rd load earlier today at the Denver yard. I've been driving non stop since August 16. In that time frame I've got 5600 miles. I'm at a freightliner right nown due to a 'recall' that is only for may trucks. Wouldnt tell me exactly what it was though when I asked them. My dm is great and everyone I've met in the company are great. I've had a good experience so far with them and really happy I chose them. I'm very new but if you got any questions you'd like me to answer I'd be happy to. If I can't answer I will contact someone to get answer for you.
Dm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
I decided to take their flat rate pay for now until I get some more experience out on road and find out what type of driver I am. I'd really like to go cpm but I'm a bit hesitant with being new and the winter right around the corner. If you do the flat rate you will get paid a bonus of the extra miles you drove every 3 months.
CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
Here's our review of May Trucking which has loads of information on the company.
Thanks, the comparison tool is nifty. So yah Freebird, I will probably do flat rate as well to start. Do you do all refrigerated? also, are you western 11 or all 48? thanks!

I do all 48. I'll mostly run refrigerated but you'll get dry loads once in awhile as well. The load I picked up in Dover, DE and repowered to Denver Terminal on Monday was a dry load.
While truck getting fixed company put me in hotel with breakfast and shuttle. All paid. Thank God. Didn't wanna sit there at the freightliner like some guys were. There were guys there for 4-5 days.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

So pretty decided on May Trucking. Haven't heard mention of it here. Anyone drive for them? They are 35 cpm to start. Schneider was 38 cpm. So sad for me, but I'm a noob so just glad for an opportunity . Cheers!
