Conway Freight Roadtest

seems like all night FOS arent liked, im not too crazy about mine either, i have some old grouch. I usually call in at 6am jus for them to say we will call u back, and the night FOS will call me at 345 or 4 and tell me b in jus for outbound work, then at 7 he will say ok now u might b goin on linehaul, ive had to cancell on this girl ive been hanging with multiple times cuz of last minute linehaul, although shes rele cool and understands, i didnt wanna lose her tho(which i havent and now is gettin better, might even ask her officially out this week)

I dont mind if they tell me at noon that u may be needed for overnight cuz then i can at least either get some sleep or do wut i gotta do. They even asked me if i had a second job to work at but with these crazy hours i cant even schedule it, and i might even be losing my truck as well due to no money. And one day i worked durin the day with my friends dad and when i told them i cant make it to outbound or linehaul they flipped out and told me i better b there for outbound. Ive been sick this week too and havent been in, and all week they keep harassin me wen im gonna b back, im not in a rush to work 15 hours a week

Dont believe that killing overtime thing lol its all BS. we have guys working 10-13 hour days every day, the management complains about it but keeps doin it and it hurts people like us

 

Wow working two days in a row, how's it by u?

 

35+ hours?! i havent seen that since i finished training. Ive signed up for saturday work a few times but never get called for it, the outbound supervisor normally always reminds me of it when the sign up sheet is available. I agree with the 45/53 footer, ive never driven our 45 but have with the 48 nd 53. It is a lot nicer, jus with the pup its so much easier to manuever. Im guessing im liked too, i do wut u do, go in, do what im told, do it right etc. Thats y i guess they havent fired me yet for no shows or ignoring the phone wen they want me to come in for 2-3 hours to help with outbound lol, i can work my other job and make my money.

A lot of guys at my terminal r rele cool too. Any unfamilar places ive had to go to they have no problems giving directions or helping out if its a tricky dock. normally the inbound supervisor will let u no of a tricky area and who to ask(he does that so everyone keeps getting along) I went to two place last monday, and both guys i asked told me exactly how to get there and where to go in it. I would do the same if someone ever asked me since i always appreciated it

lil rocky road with the girl, but still looking good, still behind on payments, had to buy new tires since mine r bald. this week i did get to work 3 days but after that there was no more work for me and only got 24 hours in. i wouldnt care if i only had 4 days a week, cuz i can pick up a shift at my other job but this only outbound work i cant do, and will not answer the phone for it lol, but i wouldnt recommend my actions to n e one, i only do it cuz i do have two other places thatll take me back in a heartbeat lol

good for u tho man if they r giving u work. do u normally get an old beater like i do lol, my truck was 478-7198, a 97 Ford, it finally broke down on me last week, we have 4 trucks like that, i hate them lol

 

yea OTR sux, thats y i never decided to do it, although some people swear by it. Yea i get a 14yr old pos ford everyday, same no A/C and always smoking from the engine. the older guys have put their time in so they deserve the A/C, but if i ask to switch trucks if ones available wen i do a second load i always get NO. Greenwich CT is a pain too, all bridges r like 9-10 ft tall, i didnt even no that was legal

This week im gettin a lot of hours in, worked monday, tues and today, i took off wednesday cuz i worked my other job tuesday night. They told me make sure i have a second job since they cant guarantee me work so if they say something i got stuff to back me up on. Still pretty much fed up there, but if they keep giving me work ill keep my mouth shut. But only reason i am getting work is cuz 3 guys r out on vaca and they r doing the safestack training all week, so we will c how next week turns out. still a rocky road with the girl and payments but i believe itll get better
