Con Way Truckload

I Just completed Orientation today. They told us 1 to 3 weeks for a truck and teams get priority. Which I am part of a team. The orientation was good and at this time I fill like I have made the right decision. The Problem with the trucks are that Caterpillar stopped making the engines for the trucks they ordered so there is a back order for the trucks.

 

Wow just finished orientation last Friday and today (Tuesday) they have already found us a truck so not even a week wait.

 

How was the driving course? How did you do and have any advice for me. I'm going april 27th 2009. This course has me a little nervous!!

 

daved1967, You must be part of a team. Hope the solo truck wait is better than the estimated wait. Feeling a little envy . Good luck to you and be safe.

 

I talked to Con-way truckload last friday and they tole me that i was at top of list for truck so should be within a week of getting truck...going on 4th week

 

I got the word from Christine today that I start CDL school in Drumright Ok. 4-15. So i am happy there and I will get 4 1/2 weeks of school there then 1 week of orientation in Joplin,then finishing for 7500 miles( she said 2 to 3 weeks) then in my truck to solo.So far so good. Get my packet in the mail by Monday.She also admitted they have been slow in getting people in trucks but it should be good by the time I get ready 1 or 2 days to get my truck after all the training. Hope I see ya,ll out there.

 

I talked to Christine today and asked her if " I went to Central Tech. in Drumright ( which is the school they are assigning me to) would I have to go thru boot camp at Crowder?" And she told me No.Don't know if that answers any questions but it is info.

 

Hmmm Jakshouse looks like you and i will be in the same class. I am just waiting on confirmation for the 4-15 class. Christine told me i should hear Fri or Mon.

 

see you there! Hope I can find a place to stay not to expensive.

 

Was just wondering - what type of truck did you end up getting to team in..? With the large wait on trucks I am guessing that one does not get to choose..?
