    Good morning everyone! Well, I made the decision to purchase a truck and lease it onto Con-way. I've run about 4400 miles over the last 9 days and so far so good. I'm finally on my way home after 7 weeks out for some very much needed time off. I plan on posting my progress here along the way for anyone that is interested. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. If anyone has any words of wisdom please let me know!

    I'm first to admit that I'm not the fastest truck on the cerebrial highway, but 4700 miles in 9 days, and being in any way associated with Conway, sounds like a lot of hooey to me.

    My apologies. 4700 should have been 4400. Typo. I left out of Joplin on Friday 09/06. Including the 685 miles that I am doing today. Stanton TN to Taylor MI, I will close out 9 days with 4400. I've posted screen pics previously of other claims to miles. (Credibility) After I make my relay in taylor I can do the same again.

    Good for you. Did you purchase your truck from Conway or outside and place it there ?
    Keep posting and I'm sure folks will have questions for you. Be safe and enjoy the
    home time.

    How long have you been leased to Con-Way? Please let us know if they take out any hidden fee's. Might be able to help someone else make a choice of leasing to them or not.

    Why Conway? They screw there company drivers, They put crap on their DAC that isn't true they charge for stuff they shouldn't charge for and they basically ruin a drivers career that has ever worked for them.
