    Remember the eleventh commandment, "Thou shalt not be a tool"!
    Are you still licensed to sell real estate, Roadrealtor? I'm lookin' to buy some property down by Marco Island!

    Licensed yes, but can't sell as it is under an "inactive" status.

    Sounds great!
    We'll use you as bait!
    Ahh, jest kiddin'. Just knowing that you stay working for Conway means that you're swimmin' with the sharks already. Highway chum, or some such fiddle faddle.
    Kinda like trolling for a Marlin but hooking up with a Stonefish. Ouch!

    Me thinks Shark Bait Joe is mad because:
    1) I can Keep a job
    2) I Make more money than he did at the same company in a year when I had 5 months off for medical leave
    3) He simply can't figure things out

    Ahhh for young ones following this tripe...this is a case of "Consider the Source".

    I can no longer battle wits with you Joe....its not fair when you are UNARMED.

    You know....what I really find funny is how Surfer Joe is constantly throwing out how we are are trolls or paid bloggers etc.
    Fact: Con-way has an industry leading low turn over rate.
    There's a reason why..........multiple reasons to be honest. Its not because they employ gestapo techniques to trap their drivers better than all the other "mega" carriers. (Just an FYI)
    "Mega" is a term than can only loosely be used to describe us BTW. With 15% of the trucks on the road vs other "mega" companies I don't really consider us mega.
    But back to the point.
    Are surfer Joe and victor really just the only BRAVE people out there that have the fortitude to stand against Goliaths? Ummmmmmm, na!
    If this company were even remotely as bad as they indicate don't you think that there would be a line of people waiting to weigh in with their "facts" and opinions? Think! I've heard plenty of horror stories from droves of people about other companies, but NEVER will I name them. Why? Quite simply because hatred and anger flow like water and are shared like vd's. My grand daddy told me when I was young that there are always 3 sides to a story. Yours, theirs, and the truth! Words of wisdom from a much smarter generation! Look at the posts from other FORMER Con-way drivers. Most stand by the company with nothing damning to really say......perhaps they are still being paid for their blogging efforts? That must be it!
    Here's another wise nugget that a mentor dropped on me when I started in the restaurant industry 20 years ago. You cannot have a rational conversation with an irrational person! Truthfully this is why I dissapeared from this forum for so long. I refuse to let people like Joe have power over me! Negativity begets negativity. There is a big difference between talking about concerns and putting an organization on blast for irrational reasons. There's a big difference but its still a very easy line to cross.

    Unarmed? You betcha'!
    Now, all this coming from someone that quit the real estate business to become a driver for Conway.
    I guess some people couldn't hack it in sales; funny though, plenty people can. And do.
    Yep, even in the "slow" economy that I'm sure Roadrealtor will be harping about.
    Yes, young ones; do consider the source. Read all the posts on all these threads. And especially read the "Conway Drivers, What is Your 20?" thread. Go right to the actual words of the Conway drivers and read their ramblings and raves from over the last couple of months. Many of these drivers that used to choose to get offended by my telling the real truth about their employer are now gone. Kaput. All left by their own choice.
    Why?
    Because, along with all the other 98% of Conway Truckload drivers that bailed out, they realized that they were getting the business; right in the wallet. Why work so much for so little?
    Yes, regardless of moral fantasies and exceptional false ethics; it really is all about the money. At least for anyone with a bit of self preservation and realistic values. Not to mention a bit of dignity and a little courage.
    So, what about the 2% of drivers that keep the faith; the few that choose to be exploited and defend an entity that continues to mistreat and shortchange them?
    What could possibly be their reality and motivation?
    Well, the answer is that they have neither.
