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

Wow that's great miles! I don't mind driving afternoon too the late evening im used to that here at JB HUNT. I'm used to actually driving late and getting to receiver at 1AM sleeping out front and then waking up at 430am to deliver load. And then go back out front and sleep. Are you out of Florida? I'm out of california.

 

Well, after I made my delivery in Hazlet, TX, which was a D & H and took probably a little less than an hour, they threw a curve at me and gave me a load with two stops on it going to south Florida picking up in 10 hours. So there was no way I could go back to sleep after just waking up. Anyway, to make a long story short, I delivered both stops 2 days later, and then was put right back on the night shift again until I finally got home last night after taking a 10 hour break. I’m assuming I didn’t get home to get my stuff as I had hoped because I hadn’t been out for 2 weeks yet. Anyway, I finally made it home and I ended up with 3800 miles for last week, which isn’t bad. Nevertheless, it is going to be much better now with all my stuff finally loaded in the truck.

 

I have to say 3800 miles solo sounds great to
me! I don't mind leaving the west coast and staying out for 3 weeks at a time before I go for HomeTime in California. Not a huge fan of night driving, but every now and then it's alright. And yeah having all your stuff is a lot nicer! Haha more comfortable too! Did you get extra pay for the extra stop offs?

 

Yeah got $35.00 extra stop pay, plus 1 hour detention at the first stop.

 

It's always nicer once you get all your crap in the truck and get it set up how you want things.

 

I have another question. What size sheets should I buy to fit the Prostar mattress? It's a little wider than normal.

 

When I got my sheets for my Kenworth t660 I got queen size sheets and they seemed to work. I got full size once and they were too small.

 

Good. I may be leaving JB Regional and go to Conway truckload OTR after the new year. I want more miles and don't mind being out 3 weeks. My miles are all over the place, sometimes low as 1200-1400. But I'm usually around 1800-2000. But want more!

 

Apply to Compton Conway freight and live there in a van...you'll make twice as much.

Yeah you'll beat your current pay by another load.
My corsicana driver is under jb hunt.(bought em out) Hates it now.


Miles suck the first three months then start picking up.

Thooooouuuuggghhhhh I think this year may be different!!!! I project a greater than expected shortage of trucks come last pay period of january .


Let us know how large your orientation is.... Albeit they will have ppl on the floors and hitting the radio hard with bonuses or somin recruiting.

 

Clever move by Con-Way brass: keep all the disgruntled folk working through the Christmas rush, then let em quit right as the slow season begins...
