    My fridge sits next to me strapped in by seat belt....thing is about the freightliner... The seats further away so I can't make a bowl of cereal going down the road only reach in and grab a soda or somin. KW you could put your elbow on it.

    Kinda blocks the little mirror in this truck but oh well who needs it anyway.

    Since the belts strapped I can put my bills behind it including hazmats instead of risking the wind taking it.

    Recently got a black & decker from Walmart with the service plan. Gonna bang it up and get a new one before the plan expires and sell the new one.

    Is there anyone at Con-Way that turned in their truck AFTER the 400k mark. Now there is 397k miles on this international. I've called and Told Con-Way, all they say is I'm not on the list for a trade in. The check engine light is on and the drivers door handle is completely broke off. I'd think they'd want anything repaired before a waranty is up. What's the number any of you turned your trucks in at????? I know you guys say before 400k but has anyone ever been called in past that? Not getting answers from anyone I call.

    I seem to recall the Cascadia giving you a lot of problems the first 3 weeks, have the bugs worked themselves out?

    What were these bugs? O.O

    My bunk heater doesn't work unless you leave the sled lwr lamp switch on.
    Turn it off....bunk heater goes off.

    Just opti idle anyway ... Keeps ice off the windshield. :D. ....so awesome not waiting 20 minutes .....



    I think my red truck had over 400k

    Pretty sure Conway shop can handle the handle and work around the check engine.



    I've only added the one gallon of oil of thicker viscosity and the thing hasnt moved since 25000 miles. Gotta give props to the lawnmower Detroit engine. Thing is so weak....sounds like a reefer lol.

    Mowing asphalt.... All night... Pretty much xD. Wellll sometimes grass and ice...

    Yeah it was a sensor and Conway wrote it up wrong The first time we took it in, since then we've not had any issues

    Can someone tell me what Conway Truckload includes in the physical exam? The recruiters can't tell me. One says they have more to it than just the DOT medical card physical exam and another said no they didn't. Is it like the old Swift work well? I was told by a driver it is but he doesn't work there. Do they check BMI?

    Is there any good things about ANY leasing program from ANY freight company?

    The ONLY piece of advice that my driving school instructor gave is about where to work, etc. was:

    "Never, ever lease a truck from a freight company. If you want your own truck, save up and buy it, or go to an independent leasing company or bank. Never lease a truck from the same place that books your freight."

    So, take that for what it's worth.
