    Im trying to attend one of Con-Way driver training schools. I looked up some information on their website and their school is 12 weeks long. I dont really know if they hire out of my area so I was wondering if someone who know this information would provide it to me

    I went to a trucking school in 2006 called Crowder College that was affiliated with CFI (Conway Truckload's old name). The training was 4 weeks long then and I'm told it is 5 weeks long now. They also used to use a school in Drumright, Oklahoma. In both cases, CFI picked up all but $1,000 of the course costs after you finished hauling your first paid load for them (training -> orientation -> finisher -> into your own truck). It was a great deal then and would be an even better bargain today if you could get on that way. I suggest you call their 800 number and ask for recruiting.

    Let me get this straight.. You want us to tell you if Conjob hires in your area, without us knowing where you live?
