Con-Way Truckload Drivers: What's Your 20? (2014 edition)

Laredo yard supports your theory.

I have owner ops parked on both left and right side of me.

Some across as well.

Used to be there would only be 2 or 3 on the yard.

Never got the whole lease purchase thing ethier...

Are you just lazy or unskilled to acquire your own freight and run it?
Look like a wannabe.

Ether way I'm sure they appreciate me idling for the past 9 hours and probably 5 more.

Not really in the mood to deal with drunk tex-mexicans tonight.

 

On a side note....


Burger king:

$10x8= 80

10$/hr

$125/14
=
8.93 an hr.


> minimum wage .... and you live in a stinkin truck and have no life.

Pay raise
1$ after one yr.... $40

Conway after 1 year.... $25 a week (maybe)



Y'all seen the pictures of ppl on the sides of the trailers yet?

 

The Ugly ones with no teeth??

 

Sitting in Bath,NY delivering 40 miles away in Waverly to CVS, wondering where we'll go from there. Been a pretty decent week, was worried when Josh told us we would just be floating in between FM until they hired his replacement but been running pretty good, this week we had 3067 last week we had 2900.

ETAN... sorry to hear you got let go, wishing you the best of luck in the future, when one door closes another opens !!!

 

Had a question for you guys, I'm friends with the team that rolled their truck afew weeks ago in Nashville and someone told them that in orientation you sign a paper that list 10 items that equal immediate termination. Does anyone know what those are other then rolling your truck? Just curious

 

Prob anything they deem unsafe ...

I think Uturn is one ...left turn accidents , over 75 mph
