@@LA2XXtharapper they do, it depends on which area you are located. For the west coast I believe when I got hired, they were only looking for OTR. But it could be different now. Never hurts to apply on their website (just google may trucking)

@@LA2XXtharapper that's cool You doing orientation in Gary?

@ yeah it’s a terminal there in Gary Indiana

@@LA2XXtharapper dope! Good luck man. You'll be good as long as you have a little common sense

@@rqgerthatthanks brother can you pick between like 5 days out instead of having a OTR runs ??

@@LA2XXtharapper idk really. Regional is different than OTR. I'm out for 4 weeks before I can take a week off. So I'm not sure

@@fastlifeadam early congrats! And yes just download it around wifi. And steam will start in offline mode, and then you can play

@@WanderingWolf365 appreciate it dude!

@@ryanadams3115 deserve what? 😆

@@Rustynuckles1 the 4th one wasn't so bad. It had good tread and was in decent condition. The company opt'd to do just the other 3

@@blazingjohnny9577 yea man, got my CDL earlier this year, and just started with this company about a month ago

@@robertpiet3372 it was a Love's I had to stop at on I40 in Williams, AZ

@@robertpiet3372 how was your orientation?!

@@rqgerthat oh yeah there’s some good views I’m in AZ right now with my mentor. Orientation was good I gotta go with a mentor for 5-7 days and then solo out. Not sure if your process was the same

@@robertpiet3372 dope! How you liking it? And yes, pretty much the same process. I was only out for 2 days with my mentor though

@@rqgerthat not bad I’m not to keen on sleeping in the truck with someone else though I definitely couldn’t do teams. I need my own truck. I’m jealous of 2 days with a mentor

@@robertpiet3372 well they give you fueling locations, but as far as for your 30 minute break, or 10 hour reset, they don't care. As long as you make it to where you gotta be, when you gotta be there, they're cool

@@rqgerthat what about personal conveyance do they allow it at all? Do you have a chance to get to Walmart or something similar during training and how about while you’re on the road can you make a stop at a Walmart ?

@@robertpiet3372 so PC is a no no. They allow it under 2 circumstances, if you are at shipper/receiver, and out of hours, and they don't allow you to stay there. Or if you are out of hours and law enforcement tells you to move. They have vehicles that we're allowed to use at the major operating centers for Walmart runs and other necessary runs .I stocked up with a few weeks of groceries myself, but I'd imagine if I run out, I'll get some from Instacart 😂

@@rqgerthat that’s kind of shitty honestly, they tell you where to go to you said so you couldn’t park overnight at a Walmart ? That’s kind of bogus lol

@@robertpiet3372 I don't mind it really, some Walmarts you can't park at, so I'd imagine someone along the lines has been towed for being there which is why they don't like us going there. Plus maneuvering a truck into some Walmarts would be a pain. But you'll be at May yard at least once a week so you can just snag a van

@@robertpiet3372 I'll respond in a bit. Getting some dinner rq. Gimme an hour or two, I got you

@@rqgerthat sounds good man I appreciate you. Still watching this long ass vlog right now haha while I’m doing my “may content” training videos

@@rqgerthat I lied I got one more question, I just saw you say the receiver took 4 hours to unload, do we get paid extra after 2 hours for that ?

@@robertpiet3372 alright just got back to the truck. So yea, you get a rewards card at pilot or flying j, and you can get all the points from fueling. They send you routing/directions anywhere they're sending you, which is cool because you won't have to worry about being anywhere a truck shouldn't be. No inner facing cameras, just ones that record if there is an incident

@@robertpiet3372 so you get daily pay, so regardless of how much you drive/wait, you're getting paid.

@@malcolmmalcolm2934I'm not sure if there's a differnce from new driver, or experienced. But they have a daily pay, starting at $120 (with plenty of room to make more with time put in), and a CPM safety bonus. Both can, and will increase over time.

@@IrishMan-7170 I think it was somewhere around 240. I used to have a 200 average, but I'd hate to see my average now days 😂

How soon after orientation do you get your first check? I’m going to orientation for may on Monday

@@robertpiet3372 you'll get it the following week on Thursday! Good luck with Orientation. Tell Kurt, that Roger That says hey! 👋

@@rqgerthat so I need to bring enough money to eat on for about 10 days ?

@@robertpiet3372 yea, the hotel you'll stay at has a decent breakfast, then you get free lunch during orientation. The hotel rooms have a microwave, and I think a fridge too. There's also a Fred Myers right up the street so if you wanna get some stuff for dinners for the week that's an option also

@@brianhoppenrath8379 I'm confused by your comment 😆

@@harryknutts8428 yea I'm looking forward to those scenarios. I'm a decent backer as is, but there is always room for improvement.

@@rqgerthat The other drivers are very impatient especially when they smell a rookie I don’t know how they know, but they know when you don’t know shit and they seem to rush you even more all you can do is stay focused and do what you do or give up the maneuver and take another spin around the lot and let it clear out a little bit

@@harryknutts8428 for sure! I appreciate the advice

@@rqgerthat just curious why you chose trucking and what are your goals you hope to reach?

@@harryknutts8428 I grew up around truckers, my family founded a trucking company back in the 50's in Wyoming that's still around and kickin'. My pops was a trucker, my grandpa was. As for goals I'm just looking to travel and make a little money and film it all. I'd like to get my own truck in the future at some point as well

@@harryknutts8428 that's a great analogy 👍

@@rqgerthat i will say to you what was said to me when i started , i hope it works out for you , as u get more time on the job u see that it dont for many and there are many ways it can go wrong even ways that are not your fault,

@@fredstrehlow511 yup 👍

@@Michael-ud5og that's a fair assessment

A lot of companies don't allow drivers making videos

@@fredstrehlow511 good reason for a different company. That and the in cab facing cameras. It's disgusting americans give in to these intrusions on personal libertys

I remember soloing out in SLC back in 2003. I already had experience driving doubles but not OTR. pretty easy at the SLC yard. Not sure if that yard is still active. Had some decent trucks back then. I later moved to Knight and got a new truck every year on my anniversary.

@Michael-ud5og keep it up. I drive 15 years. Most of my years were with Knight Refrigerated and Amerigas. It will pay off. If you want to be a professional tourist and see the country, it's worth it unless you have a family. That's why I stopped. That and my health. Keep going. I believe in you. Don't listen to the negative people here. You're gonna do great. If you wanna reach out to me let me know. You got what it takes. May is a good company.

@@IrishMan-7170 🤣

@@IrishMan-7170 May Trucking Co.

@rqgerthat $120/day for your 1st 3 months is insane. Then, when you hit 6 months, they only pay $135 a day. That's abject poverty.

@@IrishMan-7170 yea so the way it works is you get a daily pay of 120 and mileage. So the daily pay is guaranteed, so say you only make $60 for mileage, you at least get the $120. But anything over $120 in mileage pay, you'll get that. They essentially take out $120 from mileage, and add the difference to the daily pay. But for all the mileage money, you'll get that all in a check, once a month. It seems weird I know. Hopefully I explained that right 😆

@rqgerthat Basically they can control your miles depending on your DM. Which means they probably won't give you enough to be over the $120/day.

@@IrishMan-7170 yea that's what we're going to be finding out soon enough 😂

@@IrishMan-7170 appreciate it bro!

Noted ❤

Thanks bro!! That means a lot ❤
