Ok - I started with CR England in December last year, and went through some of the most insane garbage I have ever seen - Was nothing like what I read online though - but still terrible.. But I can go into that elsewhere if anyone is curious about new idiocy at England - as I have loads..
I had observed Con-Way from the outside looking in - as England pulls Con-Way loads rather frequently and I admired how Con-Way functioned in general vs the cluster ##### of England -
I know that every company has its bad sides, but I left England and am starting my Orientation at the Con-Way in Marion on Monday the 18 -
I am going Solo OTR - having experienced team driving my entire time at England - (Forced, but I can go into detail as I said elsewhere if people desire) so I can be on my own for a bit - I know there is more money in Team driving, so that doesn't need to be mentioned -
Does anyone here have any tips or advice for starting out with Con-Way as OTR?
Appreciate it in advance Drivers -

Make sure you know how to trip plan as a solo driver
Johnny_Reb Thanks this. -
I have no issues trip planning - did that with England

Con-Way truckload? Or Con-Way Freight.
Con-Way Truckload will be easy for you to fit into. After you get the hang of the macros, and whatnot.
My advice is get ready to make more money, and get ready to wave at the other Con-Way's you pass by.

Con-Way Truckload is the division I am going into - I forgot that they had different divisions - Thanks for the welcome Salad -
And Texas? It ain't that bad in Texas - sometimes... -
Tell Steve in marion that Rich & Doris say hello we just started with conway a month ago we were with england also we love it.
Johnny_Reb Thanks this. -
Unfortunately, you won't pull many loads for Con-way freight -- those tend to go to teams & outside team contractors like England and Covenant.
But Con-Way truckload should still be a whole lot better than CRE. Enjoy sleeping in a parked truck, showering when/where you want, XM radio, and being treated pretty close to a human...paul_4lp and Johnny_Reb Thank this. -
Yeah don't pull the old mans finger at the Joplin dispatch window.
You'll regret it.
Stinky farts galore.
Yeah!!!!
