New here and new to trucking.

I can't answer your inquiry regarding the orientation practices of Con-way, but wanted to welcome you to trucking and the forum!

 

I can't answer your questions either, but congrats on the recent graduation and wish you the best at Con-way.

 

welcome to TTR,thank you for your service Good Luck with orientation and stay safe

 

Think about putting that hazmat/tanker Army experience to work for you; that's where the money is in trucking.

 

Thank you for your service and welcome to Con-Way! Monday for orientation will be paperwork, whiz quiz, and probably a few speakers from various departments.

Tuesday I believe, you will have a road test somewhere along the way, they expect baby truckers to grind a gear here and there, just be safe!
Then a backing exercise and obstacle course, easier than Crowder because you will do a 45 rather than a 90. I don't know exactly how the days flush out because it changes, but you will do a Smith System exercise in vans rather than trucks.

Then, id cards, pictures, and wait for your finisher. Orientation is simple, just two things. Don't be late for anything, and don't fall asleep. If you do it there, they expect you will do it with a load and that means bye bye. After lunch, there are some boring lectures and full bellies. If you are getting groggy, get up and walk to the back rather than nodding, that is acceptable.

I am home now, heading out to find me a new student Monday, should be in JOPMO by next weekend or so, maybe its you!

Good luck, and thank you again for your service to our country.

 

I too served this great country ( probably when you were still a child lol ). I dont have an answer to your question but wanted to say that im glad you made it home and Thank Yu for your service to our country.
