    My wife and I graduated in March. Been with US Xpress since. We have about 3 months of OTR experience.

    Would Conway hire us ?

    Do they allow two small dogs ?

    Thanks in advance

    They may hire you now, but it might be 6months -- check with a recruiter. And yes they allow dogs (you'll earn 1cpm less to cover fuel costs for keeping them cool, but you'll get it back every quarter you meet mpg standards).

    We are still with the company. Con Way has better pay and benefits. We are looking into our options.

    The problem is no one at this company knows the policies. My recruiter said after 150 hours of training and so did the terminal manager then when it came time to register my dog..... I'm told we have to wait till July. After eight weeks of teaming with my wife. Left hand does not know what the right hand doing.

    As far as I know it, you can each have one dog, you will be charged a $300, non-refundable pet deposit for each dog. You will also be dinged .01/per mile for each/per year, that will be refunded as long as your mileage is above 6.5mpg( not hard to do unless you're super careless). You will miss out on some loads as pets are not allowed in the petro-chemical plants and some food grade facilities, though some look the other way or make one person stay at the gate with the pet(s) in a crate. I worked there for two years, and have seen many drivers with more than one dog/cat.

    not trying to be a douche,but do you realize how cramped a truck cab would be with 2 people and 3 dogs? May want to reconsider this scenario IF you find a company willing to let you take 3 dogs out with you. I would also imagine that 3 dogs scurrying about the cab would make it even harder to sleep (and sleeping in a moving truck,from what I'm told, is pretty hard as it is). "Any-who", Good luck in your travels and stay safe!!!
