Con-Way?

i also posted a question about ConWay, and i was told that you do have to work the docks as well as drive. i did in fact, get to talk with 3 ConWay drivers, and they said that they have to load, then either put together a set of double trailers, then drive, then break apart the doubles, unload them, then re-load them, hook them both up again, drive back *or to where ever*, unhook them, unload them. the only "lucky* driver, is the driver that gets to haul a single trailer that particular night! and, if you don't have the doubles endoresment, they make you get it, or out the door you go. if you do not have the hazmat endoresement, then out the door you go as well.

glad i didn't fill out an application afterall, eh?

 

union shops do not hook doubles, and do not work dock....well i guess it
depends on what shift and how much time and whatnot

 

id rather somebody else hook them, when you do your pretrip its easy to
spot something wrong

 

backwards doesnt happen that much here, and man you sure are picky
about your dollies lol

 

oh you have springs too? LOL

when i ride in my car i brace for potholes and stuff, my wife kind of looks
at me funny

 

I am a con-way driver and yes they are a good company. I have been driving for six years the last three with con-way. I wish I had come here earlier or even known about the apprenticeship program. They are very stable and take good care of their drivers. Like any work place there is going to be people or rules you may not like but for the money and benefits it is worth it.
