Con-Way TL Student Orientation

Glad to hear everything is going good for you too. Sounds like you and Vmaggs are having a good time. I received my package from Crowder and Conway yesterday and everything is good to go for September 26th. Keeps us up to date, I know I am jealously and somewhat patiently waiting my turn.

 

Well day 3 and 4 are done. night drive, and written test went good. Overall everything is going great. Final drive is tomorrow. And pretrip sat.

 

There is NO reason for not being clean with CWTL.
Terminals have showers and towels. Fuel stops have showers, if don't have the credits, pay for it, CWTL will reimburse it.
Trainers are suppose to set a example, preferable a positive one.

 

Vmaggs,

I feel for you, especially considering the close quarters you have to live and operate in. I may have a touch of OCD where hygiene is concerned. Don't get me wrong, I like rolling up my sleeves to get the job done and getting dirty comes with the territory but I don't want to stew or sleep in my filth if I can help it. I can only hope that my trainer will have the common curtsey and self respect to have the same mindset.

You're getting close now, continued good luck to you.

 

Hearing and reading so many good things about Conway is what drove my decision to go with them. I am so looking forward to this career change. I wanted to go through a training program that seems to be so much better than some of the other three week wonder courses (Crowder). Another selling point is the fact that the finisher rides right seat throughout your training. The switch over to teaming after XXX amount of time based on the trainers integrity just seems like a system that would be abused for the all might dollar. While I am not fooling myself into thinking that Conway is Holy Grail of trucking companies, it's nice to hear so many good things about them from the people that drive for them. Hopefully my experience will be as good.

 

Thanks vmaggs, hope everything works out with your finisher.

Finished our final drive today all went well. Got pretrip to do tomorrow then it's back to Joplin to finish up and get a finisher.

I tell you both John and R.C. At crowder are awesome. they will give you lots of good knowledge and information you'll take with you.

 

Finish Strong!!!!
