OTR Equipment

No apu's....but they will put an inverter in for you!
Con-way is a great company! We made the switch from KLLM and have been very pleased with them!

 

for now, I only see a few with apu. They were saying, they will have more apu put in the truck in the fulture especailly for the solo driver. I myself avrage about 2600 to 2700. I cant think of a time when I have less then 2k miles in the months. Just dont refused any load and be safe and on time for p/u and delery. you will do fine. They use Kent-worth and fgrth(cascadia) 13spd. I see some Volve still around but they no longer buy the new one. If you drive solo most likely you going to get Kent-worth T-600. 13spd. On paid, you will get more acurate answer from your recruiter. Home times is 1 days off for 7 days out. How ever you can keep your days off if you not using them. Example, If you stay out 28 days and go home and only take 3 day off. You can bank that 1 days that you didnt used. So now, when you go out for another 28 days you now have 5 days off available to you. You also have your holidays pay, quarter safety bonus, 1 week of pay vacation base on your avrge miles per year not the flat $300 or $400 like some company out there used. Their multi stop paid $35 much better then some company out there. Hazmat and northeast r xtra pay also. So all these will ad up.

 

for otr, most like 14 at least if you want to make money. OTR some time we have to make a commitment to stay out littles longer. I myself have family and 2 kids. So I know where you come from. On the site, they say you can start your hometime when you r out 7days and you can start hi-lite home. Depend on where you live, I live in Southern California, so when I want to go home, I start sending my hi-lite at least 8 days ahead. My first 7 months I try to take 3day for every 28 out. so i start to build my days of when i needed. Pay attention to the holidays like thankgiving, christmas etc. if you want to take off. Usually they can get you home ok, but like i said it depend on where you live. I heard the northwest where it little more challenging to get you home. Correction on 2years withem. I was thinking I been driving for only 2yrs, but with them just little over a years. They currently give me a local position gig in Southern Ca. Dont know how long it would last but i sure enjoy it for now. Down the line, when you with them. Sometime they will post position for regional or local work and you want to let them know you interesting in doing it. You will learn to adjust how to Hi-LITE your hometime once you out there a cuople months. You need to look for the place to park your tractor with approval before they hi-lite you home. That why first month usually take abite of work. After you establish the parking situation, your home time will be smoother.

 

They only have a few trucks with APU's. But they said they will not get them anymore due to driver abuse so that is what they told me. I get 2500 mile a week on average. But I run Regional on the South West.

 

As long as I can take my dog I'd be out for a month easily.

 

This is what originally turned me on to Con-Way, I can't wait...the dog loves the road.
