This Western based Trucking outfit has a terminal down in Pensacola, FL, just curious if anyone has some insightful info about their reefer division out of Pensacola or about the company in general. I've got some info from some drivers on another website, I've yet to meet any drivers while on the road to question them about the co. though...Judging from their website they are more visible out West, where they have a dry van division as well, seem to have some decent equipment too. Appreciate the info, trying to get some opinions before speaking to recruiting...

I overheard a CB conversation where a May driver was saying he'd been out 6 weeks without going home and he was heading in that direction. He had just spent 2 days sitting in NJ waiting for a load. He wasn't complaining and some people like that (staying "out"). Just my 2 cents.

Department of Labor. Well May slowly Cut my hours back to zero, I would call in every day and was told I was the last driver to get any work. After a month took my truck away and tryed to take my unemployment away.Nice doing that to a driver with 12 years with the company. May fired me said i refused work. Really May Broke the law doing that its called ( wrongfull Termmanation) should have done a law suit but waited to long only have 180 days well life sucks and so did this Company Remember MAY TRUCKING Company

Appreciate the info, I've got a friend out West in LA looking for a driving job, and at one point I was thinking of going with them running reefer out of Pensacola, FL. I've since decided to stick around with my pay cut and cut in hours at my current employer...
