Hi, just got a call from Conway and Prime. Both companies seem good and confused on which one to go to. Can anyone give some insight on both. I've done my research and see that both are large companies and that they are stable. Hope to hear from anyone soon. To add to this I'm a newbie right out of school but have a clean record and just applied for my hazmat. Thanks for any response.

We went with Conway and are glad we did...the drivers we have talked to so far all seem to be very happy and they have great equipment. We are newbies straight out of school and were in your shoes 2 weeks ago...everyone at Conway seems very friendly and helpfull...one of the guys with us in boot camp has a friend on the road right now with a finisher and is headed back to Joplin after doing his 7500 miles...he is very satisfied with the company also.

Thanks Brunsco so much for answering my question. I just spoke with Ketura (I hope I spelled her name right, really nicer person) at Conway and she maybe able to get me in class by the 14th of Nov. Prime sounded really good also but I felt that Conway had more to offer also that there drivers won 3 championships in driving which says a lot. So hope everything is going well for you and maybe see you one day on the road or at Joplin. Thanks again and be safe.
Brunsco Thanks this. -
Conway over Prime ANY DAY!!! Prime will just push you to do lease purchase deal that is only a good deal for them!! Conway is better in my humble opinion, if I was looking I would call conway first for sure, almost did until my buddy couldn't make up his mind on teaming, I spoke with a Dana and she was very helpful too.
Good luck with them!! -
