    Hey everybody...newbie here straight out of school along with my wife who will be running team with me. We have been offered several team opprotunities and have narrowed it down to 2 companies. Can anyone offer us some info on US Express or Conway...good or bad to help us decide. The overall package from both is about equal...this is a big decision and we just want to make the right choice. Thanks in advance for all your help!

    Both are basically the same. i hear at Conway you will get more miles and you will be headed to Texas much more often (Laredo, McAllen ect ect) and I also believe that Conway's trucks are governed at 70mph but can't confirm?

    Basically, do you want to drive a Volvo or a Freightliner/KW???
