@@getrightentertainmentaz6409 they do one wherever you're doing orientation at. Then they send it off for testing

@@fastlifeadam I hope orientation goes well for you bro. And most of the shops have antennas and what they call the "pirch" for them. You just need the CB and a cable for the antenna. But if you talk to anyone at the body shop they can tell you the specifics of the cable for the antenna

@@rqgerthat right on

Thank you man!

@@Zooka208 thanks man!

@@Zooka208 yea it’s a looong one 😆

@@davidnoonan7893 thank you! And they most definitely do!

@ awesome, thanks for the quick response. I was thinking that was the case, but forgot to ask the recruiter that question.

@ no worries man, any time!

@@CucamongaRob what were you averaging? I hit 9k my first month and just hit 10k for my 2nd month

@@Zooka208 I'm gonna be moving to Wyoming sometime around February/March

@@Zooka208 nahhh there's way better channels out there. I'm just doing me and I'm glad you're enjoying it dude. Thank you!

@@JacksonWood-b4v appreciate you brother

@@Zooka208 thank you bro

haha that would be cool indeed. and Nah, they just do UA's

Which truck stop? I've been to that little Mexican restaurant right next to the Pilot/Flying J

@rqgerthat across from that is a restaurant called cowboys BAR and grill. Hopefully it'd still good

@@Zooka208 I'll have to check it out when I'm back out that way

And that's the best mindset to have!

@@fastlifeadam I would think so, but I'm not 100% sure.

@@fastlifeadam yea that's a good way to look at it. Everything else about May is good, just the pay could be a little better. And honestly, compared to other companies the pay is great 😆

@@baldfoo4589 congrats bro! Welcome to the family! If you're still out that way , tell Kurt in orientation I said what's up

@@JacksonWood-b4v appreciate you dude. And congratulations on getting your CDL. If you got any questions about May feel free to ask 👌

@@marcingram9402thank you man! I really appreciate you!!

@@davidnoonan7893 for sure dude. I used to love sales, door to door was my favorite. (I also sold cutco as well 😂) Now as I'm getting older I have less, and less patience for dumb people so I had to get out of it as well. But with that said, if you like to be by yourself, you'll love OTR

@ lol, that’s funny… Cutco taught me a lot, and door-to-door use to be my favorite way to sell, especially in solar. But you’re right, it’s difficult dealing with dumb people, and the older I get the more introverted I become… so trucking makes perfect sense to me. Maybe I’ll see ya on the road, bro👊🏼

@@davidnoonan7893 yessir brotha! I look forward to jt

@@davidnoonan7893 that's awesome to hear dude! What is the reason you wanna come to May? Not saying it's a bad choice, just curious though. And thanks for the condolences, but I don't know if I'll ever get another pet. The memories are great, but that goodbye suuucks

@ the main reasons I’m thinking May is bc I have a dog, and it’s hard to find a company that will hire a new driver and allow a 60 lb dog. I don’t have a wife or kids to leave him with. Second, they have new equipment, with double bunks, so more room. Also, they have a terminal in Phx which is where I’m from. Lastly, I’ve heard many people say it’s a great company for new drivers. I don’t expect to break the bank my first year, but the experience is most important to me.

@davidnoonan7893 that's a good mindset to have! A lot of people get into trucking and think their first year is gonna be record breaking numbers financially 😆 But that's awesome man, hopefully we'll meet at a terminal or on the road !

@@rqgerthat 😅 Absolutely, see ya out there!

@@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.
