Day One Of Orientation !!
Topic 4425 | Page 1
Jimmy, every time I get a run out west I see May trucks all over the place. I love it on the west coast - it's wide open spaces with friendly people - completely opposite of the eastern parts of this great land.
Purdy trucks and logo. I love the baseball cap. Be sure to get one of those. They're good looking! Good luck. They were my first OTR choice, had I been able to go that route. Congrats, Man! Keep on given 'em your all.

Well I pulled the trigger and started orientation with May Trucking in Brooks OR. today . I was pretty nervous when the morning started and they wasted no time within 20 minutes we were out in the yard starting the skills test . There are only 5 in this group and 2 are experienced so it went pretty fast I did pretty good I almost hit one cone but the tester said no big deal . Then came the road test and mind you I have never driven a 53ft. or a 13 speed so it was all kind of new to me the only problem I had was on one shift when I was going into 5th and tried to put it into the spot where 5th was in the school truck , well it wasn't there needless to say but I recovered and overall it was good and everyone there are pretty laid back and seem to truly want you to succeed . So as of tomorrow morning I am on the payroll and I should get my trainer by the end of the week . The adventure continues !!!
