May Trucking Company Data Breach Lawsuit Investigation
Received an August 2026 breach notice from May Trucking?
Dapeer Law, P.A. is investigating a potential class action against May Trucking Company, an Oregon-based long-haul and regional trucking carrier, on behalf of individuals whose names and Social Security numbers may have been exposed in the June 2026 network intrusion.
Who may qualify
You may be eligible to participate in a class action if any of the following applies:
- You received a data breach notification letter from May Trucking dated August 2026.
- Your letter offered enrollment in 12 months of IDX credit monitoring and dark web monitoring, up to $1 million in identity fraud loss reimbursement, and fully managed identity theft recovery services, with a November 13, 2026 enrollment deadline.
- You had personal information held by May Trucking, for example as a current or former employee, driver, or applicant. The regulatory filing does not state which categories of individuals were affected, so any notice recipient should have their letter reviewed.
- No proof of harm required to consult with counsel. You do not need to have already suffered identity theft to explore your legal options.
- Excluded: individuals who did not receive a breach notice and whose information was not involved in the incident.

What happened
On June 21, 2026, May Trucking Company ("May Trucking") detected suspicious activity on its network. According to the regulatory report letter the company filed with the California Attorney General, the ensuing investigation determined that certain files were acquired without authorization. May Trucking states that it launched an investigation the same day with the assistance of independent cybersecurity specialists, implemented additional security measures, and notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The company has not publicly disclosed the cause of the incident or how long the unauthorized party had access to its systems.
On July 23, 2026, May Trucking confirmed that the acquired files contained personal information, and it began mailing notice letters to affected individuals on August 13, 2026, roughly seven weeks after detection. The filing states that the information involved was first and last name and Social Security number. May Trucking is offering 12 months of credit monitoring and dark web monitoring through IDX, up to $1 million in identity fraud loss reimbursement, and fully managed identity theft recovery services, with a November 13, 2026 enrollment deadline. The total number of individuals affected was not disclosed in the filing.
Because Social Security numbers were reportedly involved, the risk of identity theft, fraudulent credit applications, and tax-refund fraud can persist long after the 12-month monitoring period ends. Whether May Trucking's data security practices before the incident met the standards required under applicable state and federal laws, and whether the company retained Social Security numbers longer than necessary, are among the issues being evaluated.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard it. Your letter contains the enrollment code for the free 12-month IDX identity-protection services and is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit.
Enroll in the free 12-month credit monitoring
Enroll in the IDX credit monitoring, dark web monitoring, $1 million identity fraud loss reimbursement, and managed identity theft recovery services offered in your letter before the November 13, 2026 deadline, using the enrollment code printed in your notice. Accepting these benefits does not waive your right to pursue legal action.
Place a fraud alert or credit freeze
Contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to place a fraud alert or freeze on your file. Request a free weekly credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, and use the FTC's IdentityTheft.gov recovery guide.
Because Social Security numbers were reportedly involved, consider placing a fraud alert or a security freeze on your credit file with each of the three major credit bureaus, requesting an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) from the IRS to guard against tax-refund fraud, and watching for credit accounts, loans, or benefit claims opened in your name.

Common questions
I received a data breach letter from May Trucking. What should I do? +
Keep the letter. Enroll in the free 12-month IDX credit monitoring and identity-protection services before the November 13, 2026 deadline using the code in your notice, review your bank and credit card statements for unfamiliar activity, request your credit reports and consider a fraud alert or security freeze with all three bureaus, and consider requesting an IRS Identity Protection PIN because Social Security numbers were reportedly involved. You can also contact a data breach attorney for a free consultation. Enrolling in the monitoring does not waive your right to sue.
Am I eligible to join a class action against May Trucking? +
If you received an August 13, 2026 breach notice from May Trucking, you are likely eligible for a free case evaluation. Eligibility is not limited to California residents and depends on your state of residence, the categories of your data that were involved, and any losses you have suffered. Dapeer Law will review your notice at no cost.
How much money could I receive from a class action lawsuit? +
Data breach class action recoveries vary significantly. Settlements typically range from a few hundred dollars for basic out-of-pocket losses to several thousand dollars for documented identity theft, with class size, damages, and negotiation all affecting the final amount. No payout is guaranteed, and this investigation has not yet resulted in a settlement.
What personal information was exposed in the breach? +
The regulatory report letter May Trucking filed with the California Attorney General states that the affected files contained first and last name and Social Security number. The company has not described any additional categories of data, and the filing does not detail the full contents of the acquired file set. Your individual notice letter should specify the categories of your information that were involved.
Did May Trucking offer free credit monitoring? +
Yes. May Trucking is offering 12 months of credit monitoring and dark web monitoring through IDX, up to $1 million in identity fraud loss reimbursement, and fully managed identity theft recovery services at no cost. The enrollment deadline stated in the filing is November 13, 2026. Enrollment is separate from, and does not waive, your right to pursue a claim.

May Trucking has not publicly disclosed the total number of impacted individuals as of August 20, 2026. This page will be updated as additional information becomes available through the California Attorney General filing or other regulator disclosures.
