Conway looking to raise pay rates, layover and benefits?

I'm out 5-6 weeks at a time, after that I take 4-5 days off. I dare anyone to find a company that's OTR and does more than one day off for every seven out out at best six out. Who can honestly afford to take more than that off with it being unpaid.

 

Both Marten and Sneider have fleets w/ more time off, not that I would work for them. And honestly alot of guys at CWTL can afford the xtra time off, I can think of 5 off the top of my head that are OTR and most of the NE guys as well. Alot of people out this way do it for insurance. I see the NE fleet losing many if obamacare stays because most self employed won't need to pay$1500 mo for insurance then since we would be eligible for federally created insurance pools

 

Sorry I ment days out....so prob 11 days and well go home this weekend (hoping) for 5 days

 

Yeah right there with ya...been gone 5 weeks and would like to take 7 but I'll do 5 cause that will leave u with two-three days for make alittle $$$

 

thats what i do too normal 3-4 days off and back out on road.

 

Highlighted for 5 off...might change it to 4 depending his this weekends up & how fast we make it back to FL

 

I'm hl on the 6th sweet home 6 weeks out rdy for break

 

Tell you what, if our company drivers keep getting into 200+ accidents a month, we will get NO Raises, pay will drop, and conway will go bankrupt in the next 2 yrs.

 

Hey we AREN'T getting raises, pay HAS gone down, and health insurance IS going up. We are now like every other ATA member company, no need to wait 2 years
