Conway Truckload Drivers what is your 20?

Sitting in Sacramento, CA at the 49er hanging out with another Con-way team that we know. Picking up tmro about 130 miles away a load that goes to somewhere in IL.

 

Hi Katey, I'm new around here, but I've read some of your story about becoming a driver. It sounds like you guys were in the same situation as my girlfriend and I are in now. I've been a driver for a long time and she rides with me, but now she wants to attend driving school so we can run as a team.

How is it going for you guys so far?

 

Hiya Jeremy

It is going pretty good for us so far. We have weeks like this week where our miles were pretty bad, only 3200 miles (due to weather shut downs), but we have really good weeks (6700, 7000, etc) where we run so hard we almost run out of hours too.

I would highly suggest Crowder College in Neosho, MO if she does go to school. It's great and it is also Con-way's preferred school. Con-way has a tuition assistance program for people who go through Crowder and they pay around half your expenses.

I don't have a lot of time to post at the moment (should be sleeping already) but if you have any specific questions you can PM them to me (or if you can't PM yet because of posts you can email me (Kateycakesss@gmail.com) and I will help as much as I can!

I should have more time to post on here tomorrow too its just today we spent all day hanging out with another team couple we know and I have to be up in 7 1/2 hours lol.

Take care,
Katey

 

Picking up just south of San Jose in the morning (Morgan Hill) a 2000 mile run to Illinois with 4 whole days on it :s Hope we can deliver early!

 

Thanks Katey for the response. I'll definitely have some questions for you. Don't hurt yourself with all that extra time you have.

 

#2 in west....I-10 flying J Phoenix

 

From what I seen on this board...Florida drivers are limited to OTR...might be a couple drivers with seniority that are on it and would not budge til they are in the grave lol...for better chance at regional you might need to move towards Texas, Joplin or ark/TN area ....oh then NE Regional is alway open LOL

 

Just switched out in Winnemucca, NV. They set us up to relay that IL live unload in Des Moines, IA thankfully so we wont have to sit on it for 2 days. Hope they send us towards home from IA!

 

Just got back out on the road, got the move completed now living close to the country club in Brownsville. Right now sitting in Waco at the Pilot, unfortunately I don't unload till 4pm tomorrow in Ft. Worth, no drop/hook, no early delivery.

 

Richmond to Suffolk(DH),to relay in Mebane (DH)to Dillon SC to Chambersburgs Pa to Lancaster Pa to Nashville,,,and D&H and just got my preplaned Conway out of Nashville to Jacksonville,,might try to stretch it with FM and ask for a Pre out of Jax on Saturday LOL
