Any and all questions about Conway Truckload can be answered here!

Blcktop-buccaneer where we are in the north east if they are staying in the Pilot/Flying J network then most likely it will be any Irving, Circle K, or Blue Canoe they have a deal worked out with Pilot/Flying J cause I can get shower points when I go to them and it was the usual fuel stops at the last cOmpany. The fuel book always listed the NE locations as Irving/Flying J. I'm not saying this is fact but it is my best guess

 

Lol, I'm most definitely not a recruiter! But glad I have been able to provide useful information

Out on the road you will find the big truck stop chains like Loves, Pilot Flying J (Pilot and Flying J used to be seperate but are in the process of merging into Pilot Flying J), TA, and Petro are everywhere. There are also some other chains that you will become familiar with like Wilco Hess, Sapp Bros, Irving, Town Pump, Bosselmans, etc... Some of these are just a lot fewer in number and others are region specific (like Town Pumps are in Montana, Bosselman's along the I80 corridor mostly, etc..).

I just checked our little directory that lists fuel stops by state. There are only 2 in VT, 1 in Springfield (Pilot Flying J at I91 exit 7) and 1 in Wells River (P&H Truck Stop at I91 exit 17). We don't really drive around up there too much (in fact it took my boyfriend over 2 years here before we went to Vermont for the first time) so I guess that's probably why they don't have more stops there.If you have questions about specific states or areas in regards to fueling feel free to pm me.

You do some runs to grocery warehouses and other food places (Wal-Mart, Sam's, etc...) but it is all dry goods. Con-way truckload does van only, no refer or flatbed or tanker or anything like that.

Hope this all helps some. Keep asking any questions you think of as I am sure you are not the only one wondering some of this stuff

ARE you implying my thoughts are not original? Gosh I thought I was the only person to ever want to change carriers and become a trucker. lmao

Seriously every one from conway has been great so far. don't get me wrong I have no delusions of this job being a disney flick. lol

Compaired to some of the stories I have seen about other companys conway has the most appeal.

1.what lanes get the good miles?
2. what is it about newengland that sucks so much for drivers?
3. are you allowed to smoke in your truck?
4. repeat will i get hazmatt and dbls-trip endorsement at crowder? or is that an advaced xtra course?

thanks again and if it is meant to be I hope I get to meet you all someday soon

 

I am that wannabe with my wife of 26 years. Is it going to be a way to make some good money and see see see? We have always talked about hitting the road is the money short at first. What school do y'all recommend? Thanks for ant help.

 

We want to team drive.

 

Do you ever have to turn in your truck for hometime or vacation?
How much NYC have you done?
Is Conway TL forced dispatch?

 

It's not the lanes you have to keep doing right turns.

 

Can I have lot lizards in the truck?
