Con-way/LTL loads

Maybe it's time for a "vote"??????

 

I told you they were the Swift of LTL
But did you listen?
Nooooo....
Actually, I was wrong.
They aren't the Swift of LTL.
They're the AD Express, Werner, CR England, Celadon, AND Swift of LTL.
Conway is a ###### joke...no way would I pull for that cut-rate low-ball #### outfit.
They're using that 5% wage cut you fools took to low-ball everybody.
So you're no better than the over-te-road drivers you mock.
So thanks for turning a $22.00/hr job into a $21.00/hr job.
We all appreciate it.
#######!!!

 

Considering most of the LTL that goes more than 600 miles one way is goign by rail, what difference does make. UPS and YRC are the biggest one's, but I've noticed in my area 80% of the Conway loads going Denver to Chicago, Dallas, L.A. are going via intermodal.


We used to run Brown Transfer between Denver and Cheyenne fro the BNSF. It was cake work, but they never paid on time. Same with UPS and Bullocks. We used to run UPS trailers for them in the winter, during the holidays if we were slow, usually betweem Denver and SLC or Denver and Casper. The only problem they took forever to pay their bills, sometimes we would get paid for Christmas loads in early Feb. BUllocks stiffed us on $8,500 worth of loads in '02, my Boss had to threaten them with court to get them to pay.

 

not here, im UPSF indianapolis....freight seems to be way down and since im still a casual i only get about 5 hours a day......5 hours x $10.50 an hour dont add up to much

as much as i really REALLY want to hold on to this job and drive for this company (have to wait til im 21 but got my CDL) im literally going BROKE and am gonna be out of money by the end of the month

ive been looking for a job and am having a lot of problems

i KNOW i will be layed off this winter, no doubt in my mind....only got 7 guys under me now

 

I would try to hang on,......Work another part time gig to make ends meet,........Once your 21 and have the cdl and are already working at upsf,....Things should get a lot better!!

 

im trying but its hard to live off $240 a week with no benefits at all, not even health insurance

 

Things may be tough right now,....But if you stick it out the day will come that you will be very glad you did,...
