    Conway Freight the worst company to work for, at least in the Bakersfield,CA terminal no over time your lucky to get your 40 hours per week,really poor equipment,management from that terminal its really the worst of all their on you all the time,I was told by a driver he got wrote up for waiting 1 minute to punch out. Another driver is in the middle of nowhere making a p/u he got wrote up for not taking his lunch their where theirs no restaurants theirs nothing, he got a letter for driving couple miles to the nearest restaurants to get his lunch.I don't recommend anyone to apply for this terminal, you never be conferrable working their.If you talk to any driver from that terminal they would say the same.

    DSR (Former Employee), LONG BEACH ULB TERMINAL CALIFORNIA
    Pros: pay, weekends off, home daily(though only long enough to sleep)
    Cons: horrible treatment, cameras in cabs, no breaks


    Long days without breaks, they call all their employes DSR's (Driver Sales Representative) do to a loophole in the labor laws that state labor laws do not apply to sales reps, if you work the dock all day and decide to take a break after 12 hours they can and WILL fire you for stealing company time!

    Aside from being treated horribly this is a great place to make money if you cant find a driving job elsewhere, they start at $20hr (or $0.42mi for LH) and work you 60-70hrs a week whether you like it or not, If you work on linehaul plan on sitting on the side of the road for a few hours every Saturday morning because they WILL run you out of hours every Friday night.

    They will hire people fresh out of driving school so this is a good place to get the 1-2 years driving experience that other companies require! –

    The cameras alone would be enough to make me look elsewhere. But even still, that's nothing a piece of electrical tape can't fix.


    Oh, is THAT why that's done? Sorry, I'm a driver, not a sales rep, and certainly not BOTH!! If I wanted to be a sales rep I wouldn't have a CDL. They can do their own job.
