    I've been a driver for almost 2 years now and I now think maybe I can make some good money. Im with celadon now but. 31. Cents is kinda low I talked with one driver and he swore by them and had nothing. Negative to say about them ....so are the miles always good year round and how often will I get west of denver. I love to go out west but so far don't get there much. Once or twice every 2 months is what id like any feedback would be appreciated .....thanks

    Got into Con-way right out of school. Great company. No complaints at all so far. The recruiters give you the straight scoop right up front. Miles are good. Equipment is top-notch. The whole company is very professional top to bottom.

    Are you waiting on loads a lot or do they keep you moving pretty much, I had a friend that worked for Conway Truckload a few years ago and he actually suggested them to me and everybody seems to be happy from the stuff I read so far looks like when I finish school in a month Conway will be my 1st choice what are average miles for solo otr drivers in a week, I wanna drive coast to coast.

    My friend said the hometime policy was for every 7 out 1 day off and you could save up to 30days is this the same still.

    Passenger policy whats the age and limitations I wanna bring my 12 and my gf and my bother and what is the youngest I have a 7yr old I'm sure it will be at least 10yrs old I wouldn't want him with me for a few yrs anyways just curious.

    Thanks for any responces be safe out thier.
