Con-way

Talked with recruiter and I'm thinking about going with them.

They're on my list of companies to consider as well.

lets us know what info you find out, it can really help those of us still trying to decide on what company to go with.

I have also talked to a recruiter and driver. Got some info from them as far as starting rate and cpm. They talked to me about a position in which you drive to another company dock and then work the dock and then return back. Cpm while driving then hourly pay while working docks. I didn't even start school yet but they are interested in me and that is always a good thing.

In general, they're a solid company. I worked for them after I'd obtained my CDL , as a driver-in-training for 5 weeks. It didn't work out for me. That's not to say it won't work out for either of you and one should note that regarding my previous posts about them, that the people who treated me unfairly have since been fired or removed from their previous positions. That's very telling news. They are a very solid company with some very high standards. That's a good thing. They're very big on integrity and even the appearance you project as an honest and trustworthy employee.

I was told very early on by my recruiter, that if you can make it through your first year with them, you'll be pretty solid. They are tough and they will work you hard in your first year but that's to be expected anywhere.

Good luck!

Con-way trucks have been my biggest safety hazard pain since I have started driving. They top Fed-Ex and UPS in my experience. If they are that demanding of their drivers without consideration of the safety of all other vehicles on the road, well, I would pass on driving for them. That is just my experience and opinion.

While the company , like almost all LTL companies, have a very strict schedule they have to keep it boils down to personal responsibility of the driver to do his job in a safe and responsible manner. Companies don't make drivers cut people off and stay in the wrong lane or even wreck the truck and trailer. That is the poor decision making process they driver has.

I pulled doubles well over a year, all while keeping to an LTL schedule , and I never once had any trouble with accidents.

I understand now why fed ex and ups are constantly trying to run me out of the lane.

And why I see so many of their trucks broke down on the side of the road or at rest stops with a guy out scratchin his head .

I'm governed to 65. It gets me there I'm pretty content unless I'm in Alabama in front of a flatbed or anywhere in Texas POS over the radio has made me turn the brand new cb I bought with my orientation pay off.

I'm sittin at a QT in waxahachi tx at the moment and poppa joe seems to have a nice newer truck and trailer. Most of the rigs I have seen from Conway have been doubles.

You ready to ride that wip down the expressway?
