    I know the Volvo's are auto-shifts and their are 17 drivers/teams with priority for the volvo's due to medical issues but they are getting 50 volvo's in total and after those medical priority ones are given out they just go to teams. And actually, my co-driver has arthritis in his knees and would probably be a great candidate for the volvo's if we brought it to con-way's attention.

    Hmmm yeah I got me Bad Knee....hehe

    I also heard they got them to attract us express type teams who have never drove a stick!! Not sure how I feel either but I've been driving long enough over the last 21 yrs that I think it could be just rewards lol

    If they're getting rid of the Prostars what are they going to replace them with? I don't want one of the KW's too small for us and it sucks because I don't drive just the husband does so we get what we'll get :(

    What are they giving to new solo drivers? The only one out of all the ones being discussed here that I actually like is the volvo, but I'll take what I get.

    Solo drivers can expect a T600, T660, Cascadia, or ProStar.

    Giveme a freightshaker or pornstar. The kw would be nice if it wasn't neutered, but since it is give me a rig with room to make it comfortable
