I'll graduate from CDL school next Friday, and I'm torn between two pre-hires. Looking at the numbers, Gordon has a slight edge over May in pretty much every catagory. Mostly, I'm still considering May because their main terminal is 20 minutes from my home. Gordon's nearest is 90 minutes away, but they do have a dropyard (Target DC) that's about 30 minutes away. Should terminal/dropyard proximity even factor into my decision?
If not, the one thing that would really tilt the scales in May's favor would be the working environment. My instinct is that they might be better in this department since they're a smaller company than Gordon. Could you give me some opinions on how these two companies treat their drivers and their equipment?
