Con-way driver

It's been awhile, and it may have changed. They based your experience on the number of verifiable miles you have run. Pay raises came at the 125K, 250K, 375K etc etc mark. Additionally, you recieved "safety" bonus raises at 120K increments.

I'm sure this has changed with the buy out. But not by much.

The max I ever heard anyone getting...was .37 to start (when 1 year was .35). I can't confirm the validity of that statement though.

 

I recently talked to a recruiter from con way they start out at .36 cpm without your hazmat, and they give you 120 days to get your endorsement. Once you get your hazmat they pay you .05 cpm more. the other two comanys i don't know about, but im sure if you call them they will tell you what they pay.

Have you tried contacting con-way? The only way your going to get answers is by calling them and asking what the pay is in your case.

The .05 more per mile, applies only when you are under a hazmat load.

 

Keep in mind that Yellow owns Roadway. They are both under the parent corporation of YRC. They are currently having big time problems because Yellow borrowed so much to buy Roadway and then the economy slowed down. They are having trouble getting the cash to service their debts and are now talking about the possibility of selling off USF/Holland which they (YRC) also own.

 

"Union employees at YRC Worldwide Inc.’s freight divisions approved 10 percent wage cuts to save the troubled trucking firm up to $250 million a year, the company said Thursday.

In exchange, the employees represented by the Teamsters union will get a 15 percent stake in YRC."


And a 15% ownership in a company, should that company go bankrupt would be worth how much?
