Retirement, 401 k match 3 percent after jan 01 2012, better benefits(cost) and better run company that will be around for the long haul, Don't go con-way there are a terrible company to work for just ask the drivers at the Joliet terminal. The place is a joke go find a better job, if you got a chance at fed ex you better go there. The best so far as pay to scale ratio as in years to scale and all around treatment of drivers is better. Con -way dont pay you anything 18.27 in the midwest to start and fed ex is 20.30 and raises over 3 years to 24.08 but going up every year. conway is terrible 23.55 after 5 years and no pay raises going on 3 years. 42 cents for line haul as fed ex 48 cents Go fed ex stay far away from con way as possible. If any con-way driver tells a different story there just looking for you to be as miserable as they are, They can't get a better job they like being abused and under paid. I didn't mention a 52 million dollar damaged freight claims and loss of customers or a system wide blow out hoping yellow went under dibockle by the top dogs. The place sucks go somewhere else or beware I told you so.

Wow that's pretty strong words about Conway, I mean I worked for them for almost a year and it. Depends on the terminal ur at but as far as pay. Yeah fedex does pay more but Conway is still a good company to work for but it's all about seniority.

It does take 5 years to top out at X terminals except the I95 ones -takes 3 there.. -
XJO reject- I work in the chicago land region and talk to the XJO drivers every day. They have about 1.2 million pounds of freight a day at a terminal thats about 30 doors. It will ease up soon when the changes of territory take place to even out the freight. The drivers that are moving with the freight are getting their choice of 3 terminals to go to. Not a bad deal. Yea its busy but still a good job. As for FedEx- I know a couple guys that went to FedEx freight running linehaul. They are running real short runs which seems to be the norm in Chicago region, and barely getting 40 hours a week. There are issues at every company in every business. Just matters what you are willing to accept and how much you think is fair for you to accept it.
