conway freight review

The honeymoon phase....
Let's reconvene here in another year.

Good to hear someone enjoying their work.
What terminal are u out of?

Big one little one?

 

I feel the same as whit2, I have a road bid and have had one for 2 years. I haven't driven a sterling in ages, but that comes around to all the drivers from time to time.

I'm in a class 4 barn that is very top heavy with senior drivers, everyone talking about retirement but no one making a move.

The honeymoon is long in the rear view, Con-way will keep your pockets stuffed full!!

 

Oh yeah I remember you!

I never said it was bad just give it some more time . those nice ppl might not be so nice after all ya know

They ever stick a doorknob on the toilet door peephole? Haven't been there in awhile.

 

Alright

Okc made the big time!

Hope yall get a bigger breakroom.

Things like the size of a tsc training room.

What if someone farts? You're screwed that's what!

 

Don't get too excited about getting a new terminal. I'm from Stl. Louis (XSL) and we had a "temporary" patio that was used for almost 13 years. It was a bunch of flat bed trailers together with 4x8 sheets of steal welded on top LOL. Then again our terminal is located right near the ghetto so we blended in. I graduated from the drivers program almost 4 years ago. It's not a bad place to work. Working the cold dock sucks but at nearly 25/hr its not bad. I drove nothing but 1million+ mile sterlings for the first year. Now I drive my assigned freightliner and have a 454 mile run every night. Some nights get a XKC run (514 miles). I'd say it's a fairly laid back place with nice drivers to work with. We had around 20 drivers quit so far this year because of how this company treats them. Ever since the word union got tossed around and Laredo voted it in this changed. Not saying I'm pro union but we got bumped from 62 to 65, pay increase, changes to the point/strike system, and I also think you still get paid for a miss pull. Could be better but it's not bad. 25 and making almost 90k a year for holding a wheel... I can't complain.

 

As a retired driver from Con-Way Freight I can attest that they are a fine company. I helped open the Orlando, Fl terminal when Con-Way expanded into Florida and was with them until 2004 when I retired from them and moved to Delaware. I was a city P&D and a linehaul driver at different times and a driver trainer for most of my time there. They have a top notch safety department, a great group of employees and yes like any other company a few not so likable managers. I receive my pension check every month, visit the old home terminal on occasion and my son has started his career with Con-Way Truckload and they are just as fair and great to work for. I sometimes wish that I had stayed with them instead of going back north for my wife's desire to be back home. They are among the best out there. Navypoppop
