My Exp at Con-Way Truck Load.

Thanks for posting this.

 

Alright, that clarifies it, thanks. Wasn't sure what you meant about weekend loads and a relay.

 

Still with conway ? I'm starting end of month. School in michigan and then out with a finisher. How are they to work for ? Good miles ? Do they get you home when ur supposed to get home ? How are the finshers to be with ? Any info woukd be great. I've heard good and bad.

 

Welcome...happy to have you, hope you are happy being had! For finishers, don't get stuck with me...all others are ok!.

Seriously, you hear horror stories about finishers. Some are probably true, some not. For the ones that are true, the finisher is gone. But, for the most part, easy going considering you share a small space for what seems like forever. Been here over two years, still like it. Only missed once on getting me home on time.

Have fun, learn as much as you can, see you out there.

 

Thanks for the reply. Why dont i want to get stuck with you for a finisher?

 

most of what i have heard is good stuff. I know there is alot of bs no matter what company you go with. I have an uncle that has driven 2 million+ miles and been in the industry over 30yrs.....he says, just stay out of the trucker lounges, pick your friends carefully and be safe, most companies will stay off your back if you drop ontime and are safe with decent mpg. I guess as a "rookie" I just gotta stay the course and do the task at hand. Learn from a vet driver. I have been looking for a inverter to have installed in my truck, but dont want to pay out the rear for it.....any ideas?

 

really, thats great. The recruiter i have said thats something i have to pay for and the shop will install it, but the trucks come just basic with a bunk. nothing extra. Thats really cool if they do that. I dont have much that requires power, but id like to have the option to plug stuff in when i need too.
