    Ignore cargo... Just listen to hear he says! Lol! On second thought, never mind. Welcome!

    picked up plastic here in pt comfort tx. 3 hours 40 min late loading. I got 2 messages reminding me of detention. Ya know, detention should be automatic... Off to Denton GA. Lots of time to get there. I gotta do laundry.

    Last minute arrival....
    "Act" like I can't back up....
    Go take a poop hide in bathroom for 20 minutes....
    Take 10 to find a jack...
    Gonna get that extra 100 out of a crap weekend run.

    Arright!
    We all make mistakes; you're about to make a big one if you go to CWTL.
    Low pay, lousy conditions. Do a little research. Ask around.
    You would be best off going to a smaller outfit or even LTL. One or t'other.
    If you have any difficulties due to lack of experience and Conway Truckload is your absolute only option, then get your year in and get out. Those last coupla' months are pure Hades.
    There is a very valid reason why CWTL is ALWAYS hiring.
    Especially newbies.
    As long as you are totally on your own and have no family to support, then good luck to ya' mate.

    Joe, Conway didn't work out for you, we get it. Now, how about a nice cup of shut the f_€k up. Your whinny complaining got your thread locked and you ain't welcome here. If you haven't caught the clue bird, I just spelled it out for you. Blow.
