Recently completed orientation @ Con - Way Truckload

The orientation was four days in Joplin , MO. They paid for the bus pass there and for the stay at the hotel. We staid at the La Quinta with a roommate. The first day was basic introduction with two drug screens, hair and urine. The second day was road test and a backing test. The rest of the week was basically company info and policy. They covered safety, permits, pay ,detention, pet and rider policy. They supplied us with a lot of information throughout the week. On Thursday they gave us our I'd badges and Comdata cards and fleet cards along with a welcome pack. Some people were paired up immediately , I had to wait until the following tuesday. Training is going well right now. I'm trying to learn and progress as much as possible!! Powder

Recently completed orientation @ Con - Way Truckload

I am a recent CDL graduate. I obtained my CDL from Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona. I just finished Con - Way's Orientation on 8/20/2015, in Joplin , MO. I am currently waiting on my finisher to begin my 7,500 miles of training. This is my first trucking company, so I am still brand new. So far Con-way seems like a great company to work for. They are very organized and professional oriented. They have already supplied me with a wealth of knowledge and information to help me with my transition. I will update when I begin my OTR training. If anyone has any questions about the Joplin facility or the orientation process, I will gladly help out. I will help with more information with driving experience as time goes on. I am excited to begin new career with a great company. If you have any questions, please let me know!!!

Thanks, Powder
