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

Mary always gets her's!

I'm in Kutztown today. I found a gas station with 4 spots 9 miles from my Topton PA pickup. Delivers near Tuscaloosa AL Wed. I should be home after that. 14243 Kutztown Rd, Express Hess. No showers but I beat all that Monday traffic trying to get here tomorrow from Elkton MD.

My wife starts training at Crowder on the 19th. I am so looking forward to team loads with her!

 

See... I didn't know that!

A few weeks ago I had a 50 load. Later I found out about the $20 short haul pay. I had to ask about it when I had the 95 mile run last week.

 

Topton loads are usally pre-loaded ...I alway go in early !

 

Layover clock starts when you board til your dispatched over 100 miles...and your FM has leeway to pay it if you get close to 48 hrs

Josh used to be real good at give us layover

 

I'm sure I knew that but it hasn't come up yet. Thanks!

 

The instructions were very clear about NOT showing up more than 30 minutes early. I was thinking about showing an hour early, you never know how traffic will slow you down! What do you suggest?

Subject change; So, I'm cleaning the truck today and I have a number of tiny chips in the windshield. Hard to see really. When do you decide enough is enough and go get them fixed?

 

When it cracks. I don't think they will replace it until it cracks.

 

You picking up Battrries?

You can get those fixes at Joplin...

 

I don't think they are batteries, I didn't get the "if you don't have hazmat call ops" warning on the load summery. I guess if the batts are dry, no hazmat required?

I saw the guy doing chip repair. I thought I'd save them till my wife get to crowder. Then about her half way point, I'd highlight in to see her.

 

I call those "battle wounds"

I had about a 4 foot crack last time.....flatbeds & dump trucks are your enemy....especially in Texas.

I heard a guy from road service say they will replace after 6 inches in driver sight.


If I ever get one of those trailers I'm gonna have to put a sharpie like they did the Indians logo in major league.

Had to go 80 miles to get a load that picked up in.10 minutes. Some dude breaks down they call me is the new hot thing around the office suppose :-/

....I miss my Pitbull friend.... lulz.



O yeah..... forgot to mention I only got paid for 40 miles. Threw a chock under another Conway drivers tire.... sure he was happy trying to pull out.

That's what you get for line jumping into the door."!"!! I get unloaded first and you have to get out the truck after goin wtf..... just wish I could watched.
