What would you do? Stuck at Con-Way and right about now, very stressed!!

Stick it out. It's just a, qualcomm and, yes, he can run paper logs until that issue gets fixed. Like someone else stated, at least Conway is trying to do the right thing by paying him a little, rather than nothing. Breakdowns are a part of this business and he already has a time investment there. Roll with it

 

hang in there...just don't let the service department be in charge of whether you get miles are not talk to your manager

 

What is a qualcom?

 

Its a psychedelic pill

 

tbrown, he needs to hang in there. Things could be much worse. At least they pay something. I work for Poly, and I went thru similar issues (only they have 'loaner' trucks you drive until your regular truck is fixed), although Poly doesn't pay any kind of breakdown or layover (if it's breakdown related). I know I went thru at least a dozen or more "loaner" pieces of crap trucks in my 1st 6 or 8 months. Newly hired drivers with any company usually get the left over trucks (no matter how many years they've been driving) so in leaving, he might be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

 

Good to hear

 

Yeah but that's at the bottom of a career.... and he would have a step up cause he had worked the docks before ..... if you look on some threads on here a lot of the Conway Freight guys do very very well .... otherwise welcome to truckload ....it will get better !

 

Just make sure they have the parking brake set before they unhook you so the truck doesn't try to attack the shop....just saying.

Just sit around and enjoy the free vacation. $3500 paid hotel bill & $1500 spending money.

As for you.... You get a job and shush it!
Leave that driver alone he's already po'd

Lol!
