Jakebrake12 I have a couple of friends that work at Conway Freight. Your right 5-10 years ago that wasn't even a thought those guys had a defined benefit pension, very good health insurance, and correct me if I'm wrong the bonuses they got at one time were top notch. Fast forward to today and the pension is gone, bonuses are less than a $1000.00 bucks and their health insurance premiums have skyrocketed. Plus throw in shiny wheels pulling freight along with an army of part timers taking away overtime for a full timer. This is just what I have heard from others, correct me if I'm wrong.

It's a GREAT start and it is moving into CA and into the south where historically their wages and benefits how been outpaced by the north for years. Con-WAy is not done yet however, as they have made a big announcement of an upcoming company meeting that supposedly will make the drivers very happy?? We'll see

ya think??
Record profits and no sharing the wealth. It's actually too little too late I'm afraid but I suppose we have to wait and watch as the saga continues to unfold. and yes, all of our newer trucks have ON-Guard systems (following meter's) as well as camera's that view inside and outside the truck, complete with audio. Of which neither bother me too much, but it's sure amazing what a person can get used to. The camera has actually proved to be more of an help than a distraction, I have spoken to several drivers whom have had incidents that were non-preventable and not at fault and the camera supported those drivers, myself included. Double edged sword though I understand.

{I just realized how ridiculous this comment was and needed to share} I wonder how folks arrive at decisions to make such statements? Perplexing to me, yet somehow typical of both the age/mentality of the interweb so it's not so far fetched.....I guess kudos for keeping the mood light??
