Thinking of Conway TL

The transition has been transparent...nothing feels any different

I suspect we'll see changes coming up mostly I think in the in the in-house positions not so much the driver stuff...I would think there's no reason for 2 HR departments for example two payroll departments that sort of thing

this is just personal intuition I have not heard anything

 

Yes.. Slow every where...

 

lol......I stayed out for months at a time, never came close to 50k

 

I was under 50K my first year... That's when I didn't even know where the light switches were...the next year I came up short due to four months of illness...I beat the 51k average every year since then...it can be done

 

I don t know what you are doing wrong but I have friends with Con way TL now XPO and mileage wise they get more than they can handle,they are often, every week or so pushing their 70s or out of hrs and they have loads waiting for them,they squeeze the last minute out of their 70,like I said,you may be refusing too many loads or IDK,3 friends and they all will tell you: lots of miles,lots of drop and hook and preplans...but the pay is .94 cpm + FS, not very much but that s what it is,take it or leave it.

 

There's the difference. Company driver vs O/O. They make more using trucks they don't own. Seems to be their business model.

 

Michigan trucker is Right Dreamboat is a company driver...but still I've been doing very good and most people I talk to you have been so I'm not sure what's wrong

 

If I were you. I would call and ask to speak a Supervisor, or the Assistant Director of Operations, or the Director of Operations. I had to do that before. A lot of times, Fleet Managers overlook drivers, because they answer phone calls, they also look at everything, such as the following: MPG, is the driver using every bit of their 14 hour clock effectively, is the driver starting his day 15 minutes after his 10 hour break is completed. That plays a big important part of getting the miles. Once a Supervisor sees all that. They will have a talk with the Fleet Manager, or switch fleet manager. Don't go in the conversation ill tempered. Be diplomatic. Good luck Michigan trucker.
