    Dont go to work for Conway! You wont get many miles, which will result in terrible pay; $450.00- $700.00 a week, sometimes even less. You'll be lucky if you make $30,000 a year, all for upwards of 100 hours/week of work. Things will not improve much with time, either. This is a VERY low paying job. Inevitably, there will be more posts in response to my post here in defense of Conway. Dont you believe them! Yep, in all fairness, dont believe mine either. Better yet (heres something that you wont be reading anywhere else), go to ANY truck stop and personally talk to as many Conway Truckload drivers as possible. An easy thing to do. Ask them about the pay and working conditions. You see, I am not only speaking for myself; Im also speaking on behalf of the many, many other Conway drivers that are struggling there.

    Looking to get in the biz, looked at CDL schools and quiet honestly I think their over priced. Anyone gone through the Conway driver school where you work the dock 1/2 a day and then class the rest, if so how was it?
