Southeastern or Conway Freight?

Con-Way flex board wears most people out working 14 hour days with only 10 hours off then work another 10 hours. I don't know why that is even legal since I can only work or drive 11 hours then only work after the 11th hour.

 

They don't drive over 11 .... Prob lucky if they drive 7 hrs but can work or be onduty til 14th hour

 

I think SEFL runs alot more 53 ft trl's rather than doubles and less dock time

 

Anywhere but con-way..But try it, it may work for you..if you are a glutton for punishment. Guys are reportedly quitting in droves. And these are guys with 10+ years. It is rough here. At most locations, DO NOT expect to drive much. Lots and lots of toyota seat time.

Word is cameras on the docks
Cameras in the trucks.
The drivers have just been beaten down.

I had a 200 mile schedule, 3 hrs each way and 6-7 hours on the dock. Then they want you back to work within 10 hrs from punchout. So that includes the drive home, back to work as well.

If anyone read my earlier posts, I used to think LTL was the holy grail of driving. For some it might be, to me it is not. It is a rough way to live, absolutely no home life. You are at work more than you are at home. Terrible if you have a family even, especially if you are at the bottom. Your hours will vary and flip flop from night to days and back again in the same week.

 

Southeastern would probably be the better choice. They've been around for years and years. Last I heard, they paid really good too. Used to be a hard company to get on with, don't know now? They are one of the oldest companies still around.

 

Just for the fun of it, These were the Mega Carriers when I was a kid. Shows how times change. (course I may be forgetting a few?)
