Any and all questions about Conway Truckload can be answered here!

The posted status shouldn't be seen as any kind of power. There are those who put 30 years and shouldn't answer any question from anybody. And there are others, like lone wolf, who take a longer view. As I've answered before, my status will always be "Student" because I am always learning. No matter how much longevity or time in the seat I have, being a student is a good thing.

 

All states' CDL manuals come from the same DOT basic document. The questions will be very similar, though there might be some individual state requirements. Texas, for example, has some unusual questions because of the farm-oriented equipment that can be pretty big and uses the roadway system. Taking Tennessee tests will be the best in case there are unusual requirements there, too.

 

Good job! Whenever I stop at Walmart, I check the BP. I noticed it was significantly at the low end of normal. I reduced my meds and stay in normal ranges. I cut them out and still stayed normal.

Then I told my doc when I had my annual. He said no need for BP meds anymore.

Since they were no longer prescribed, when I got my DOT, I didn't list the meds, passed, and got the 2-year renewal.

Conway called me on it. I explained and haven't heard another thing about it.

Long story short. Chat with your Doc, if bp is low, ask to reduce meds and eliminate. It won't happen automatically with low reading at your DOT.

I monitored mine weekly and saw no bad effect. Don't just cut out the meds because you lost weight.

Keep up the good work.

Hey guys the name here is CJ just recently just gradulated from Truck Driver Institute in Milton FL. on Feb. 10,2012 and I have some questions about Conway , Do you have to go to boot camp sense I recently gradualted if so does it cost me anything , Whats the starting pay for training and when I finish whats the starting pay per mile ,do they pay for the Hazmat endorsement ?

 

CJ welcome and goodluck about finding a good driving career. As to whether or not Conway will pay for your Haz-Mat I can answer that. If you receive it after hiring on they will pay for it once you have it in hand (meaning after the background check comes back and you get the new license with the endorsement on it). They do the same for your passport card (not book, just card).

 

Anyone heard of a rollover on I80 at mm175 in Wamsutter Wyoming? Truck rolled right in front of me. Could swear it was a Conway truck. 53' van.
