    Yes. That’s all they used at that time. They were on the trailers too. This was in 2011. That truck was replaced by a Prostar with super singles and a tag axle.

    Back then they had KW, Freightliner, and International. The Volvos came after I left along with Peterbilts.

    Conway Truckload was my first trucking job after truck driving school.

    It's really cool that you still have a picture of the first company truck you drove... :)
    I also took pictures of several trucks I drove... But not all of them... I drove a total of 16 or so... But they were all Freightliners, and one International which was a piece of garbage though... Drove that one for less than a month though...

    I didn't drive for Conway... My friend did... She was shorter than I and she hated the first truck they gave her...
    Said she had to move the seat it up and forward to see in front of the hood and reach all the controls on the dash, radio, etc...
    But then, she couldn't see the rear of the trailer in the mirrors... :angry6:
    And her truck also leaked from the ceiling when it rained and she used to smell fumes inside of her cab... In other words, they gave her a bad truck...
    She drove that for a while and then they moved her to a Freightliner... and that worked fine for here...

    This is a picture of my friend and her first Conway truck... Not sure which model exactly that was... Maybe a t600?

    I only have pictures of my trainer’s truck at Conway, my two Conway trucks and my two Knight trucks. After that I stopped. So that would be around 2013 I stopped taking pictures of my trucks.

    Yes, that’s the T600. They called them The Red Racers.
