Would like to get into Con-Way

have a question. I graduated school in Feb. 2010 and have been hauling steel since March.

Had I known Con-Way hired students, providing they pass all the tests, I would have applied then. They were hiring like mad up until the week I contacted them. I had talked to the terminal manager a couple of times, he seemed interested, then the hiring freeze was put into effect that week.

I have called a few times since then and been told they are looking to start hiring again February to March or so.

I was hurt and put on workers comp for 6 months.

I wonder if that will hurt me when going for a job at Con-Way when the time comes. I have a feeling that's why I was sent for the drug test and physical for one company and passed....then was told by HR that my app was pending. They didn't hire me. I know that workers comp is put on your DAC.

Anyone know Con-Way's policy on the matter? And anyone know when they will actually start hiring again?

P.S. I posted this elsewhere but thought I'd get a few more views here.

Anybody have an answer?

 

Well, I had an interview and it went well. I didn't bring up the workers comp issue but I'm sure my current employer will when Con-Way calls to verify employment.

Sounds like a hard job, at least for a while, as you sit by the phone and they can call you anytime. Lots of dock work, no set schedule, etc. But I know down the road, it will pay off.

I hope I get the job...
