Conway Truck Load

Any current or recent TL drivers? I have been talking to a recruiter. I know forced dispatch. It is more per mile than I get know. Less drop and hook. That may change how many miles you get?

Give us the good and the bad!

Seeya in a week or 2!

 

Thanks Twizzler. I am surprized there isn't that many drivers on here talking about ConWay. They must be pretty happy.

 

If I can get on with the LTL side I am going to try that. The recruiter called me and we talked. He is a driver named Bob G. His partner called me twice and I haven't returned the calls yet. I told him I was more inclined to go local as my GF and I came to the conclusion that she doesn't want to drive OTR and giive up her teaching job. Plus she really missed the grand kids for the 2 and 1 weeks she rode with me.

Bob told me if I went with TL that if I applied to the LTL side that I would be but not guaranteed to be first in line.

AFA the tax man (back taxes) OTR is better as lots of deductions being OTR.

If I have to stay OTR for a year I will probably quit my present job. I am getting the miles, getting along pretty good, good equipment. Lots of drop and hook.

I might be better off going with the TL if the LTL doesn't hire me right away.

 

Well I have always enjoyed driving truck. Just don't want to be OTR any longer than I have to be.

If the pay is better than where I am at now? I think it might be significantly better.

And no ######## about idle because you have a APU? I am OK with that.

 

When is this info you got dated? You talk like it has been quite a while since you have been there.


Seems like I never see a Conway guy walking around to get to talk to them. I did talk to one ex Conway guy. He said he got fired "violating company policy." they told him to reapply in 6 months. He did. They rejected him because of new hiring standards. He had a felony in the distant past. Still said he would go back there in a heart beat.

 

How many drivers do they employ? What's the attrition rate? They have what, 2 terminals? JAX and Joplin?

My present employer has that every week at multiple locations, 10,000+ drivers

When did you leave there? Howw long were you there? Why did you leave?
