    I went into the Corpus Christi office and talked to the fleet manager. Told him I graduated from Del Mar Transportation Training Services and would like to work for Conway. He ask how much experience I have driving a rig. I told him just the time at Del Mar. He thew me out of the office. (ok, that's a little harsh, he just told me no, but it burst my bubble). So new grads don't need to waste their time talking to Conway...

    seeing aas how they are posting jobs for students and trainees ( those with less than a year experience) I'd say you picked a bad day to ask that question.
     
    DrtyDiesel and PencilPusherNoMore Thank this.

    I asked if it was for ltl or truckload because in some areas they don't hire recent grads and other areas they do. Like where I live, I was told ltl no recent grads but i could have got on with truckload right out if school.

    For LTL I wouldn't expect that they would hire a recent grad, it's a pretty good job and they have plenty of applicants.

    Con-Way was going to take me right out of AIT last June. However they were not offering any type of tuition reimbursement and you cannot be fired from any job within the last ten years of employment. Was applying for Truckload OTR.


    That is what kept me for driving for Conway because I was fired from a job 7 years ago that made me a bad risk for a truck driver I guess in Con-way eyes??


    Con-way was wrong about that and missed out on a good,safe,loyal driver.:biggrin_25525:

    They are hiring students for the Truckload side as I am one. My wife and I came to oreintaiton on the 9th and are waiting for our finishers. As far as being fired from a job it just can't be your last one. Call joplin @ 417-623-5229 and ask for recruiting dept. They should be able to tell you if you meet the critaria or not. You can also PM me if you want.

    Good Luck and God Bless.
