    Needless to say, coming from a line-haul wife of a man who works for con-way I'm beginning to worry a little about this. All I know is, I sure hope they stick with the no weekends, no holidays and home every day stuff, at least for the line-haul drivers. I guess I cant speak for anyone who does truckload.

    They will probably create meeting points for the drivers to shorten the runs saving them money... Conway has line haul drivers makin around 100k a year

    Your 600 mile run is going to be shortened by 300... Get your winter gear ready it's going to be a cold winter on the dock
