Look at my next post..Go to conway Now,at the top of the page punch in a load # and take it from there.. Conway Now uses about 400 Load #'s per day but less than half are actual loads..Keep that in mind.. muleteam1

Marty, From what I have read (Bloomburg letter) the demand for oil in India and China has become very significant.So significant,in fact,that the demand in the USA is now reduced to 60% v 80% just a few years ago.Based on these numbers the usage in the USA really wont have much to do with...

I believe you had one heck of a run at it.I think we were the next in line for that Dana to Pensacola.We watch on Conway load board only to make attempts at being where the freight is.We called on the Dana load and were told that the team had been sitting in Indy for 4 days so the load was given...

Comparing fuel prices to various products is interesting to say the least. 20 tears ago we compared gasoline to the cost of a loaf of bread on the shelf, an extremely close relationship. In 1978 gasoline prices were related to inflation.The prices were raised to slow the economy and control...

RE: Possible info on Co. named All-Types out of Ft George, The Allied merger was what a lot of people might think the beginning of the end for N.A.V.L. . I agree..The recent purchase of High Value Products by the agents was a new lease on life for The old N.A.V.L. The new Company is...

Would'nt you think that they might realize how too many trucks really can't work ?? Look at Fedex 3-4 years ago 1200 Drivers went broke when the bottom fell out of expediting.. It really doesn't matter how many trucks you have out there,some loads just can't be covered.Thats where companies like...

RE: Possible info on Co. named All-Types out of Ft George, My wife and I did G S, Hitachi Data Systems, Climatic etc. several years ago. Many things have changed since 2001 when we left.The one thing that hasn't changed is they do not sign expediter trucks..The Colubus D.C.,which is the only...

That Chicopee stop was decent 10 years ago.Always the same.If you walk around to the rear of the building there have been some excellent food establishments in that building as well.Unfortunately none have made it there.A few years ago there was a good oriental buffet, they offered sea food as...

I felt,during orientation, that Conway Now played the "Big Business" card to make you believe that their association with the mother company was a solid basis for their freight.Since signing with Conway Now I've had 1 load from the terminal in Atlanta,and have realized that the association...

The Steelcase announcment was the closing of their Grand Rapids facility and a layoff of 500 hourly and 100 salaried.Some of those positions are moving to other Steelcase facilities including Mexico. None the less Grand Rapids will have to operate as a business for awhile. and so-it-goes...

Yes!! I'm on the edge of my seat,with the phone in my hand... muleteam1

Sometimes reading between the lines is more beneficial than the lines themselves."whomever controls the oil,controls the world" Take a good look at Marathon Oil for the past 50 years.Look at what they own by themselves and in partnerships.Look at what Country and Family is in control of Marathon...

I thought jan-feb was acceptable.Then it got bad..March I just said screw it and went home came out a week went back home..Conway was good all last year thru December.My wife and I have been doing this alot of years since Feb 04 with Conway. I too am looking around but generally when you are...

You buy into whatever makes you feel better about these fuel costs. I suppose you believe the war in Iraq was to save the poor people from Saddam. But the real point here is what company is paying more than $.20 for deadhead ?? I'm wide open to suggestion at this time.You've sparked my...

Raceman, I think I took the oportunity to vent my frustrations regarding fuel costs. Honestly,I refuse freight without fair fuel surcharges.We all pull for companies that have customers who are "too good to pay" NLM (GM and Chrysler), broker freight such as Ryder etc.Every time we haul that...

muleteam1 Fuel seems to be a catch 22..The customer is being hit with 20+% increases in shipping costs which slows the freight movements.The driver is being hit with these same increases and in most cases must travel excessive miles to snatch the freight thats available.The driver realizes the...

muleteam1 Have ATT wireless using a Sierra air card.(paid nothing for the air card thru ATT but I use ATT wireless for my cell) Have pretty good conectivity but some areas are in ROAM which is extra $'s above my 10meg $59.95 program. It's nice to have the availability.I can scan documents and...

Lawrence, Thanks for the info.I thought I just got lost in the shuffle. I've been Expediting for several years in several situations.I was interested in what CWN drivers had to say knowing full well that you cannot please all the people all the time but you can please some of the people all the...

Coffee Cup Thanks for the return. Been Expediting for about six months with a shotgun company in Michigan. Too much deadhead,thought it might be when I signed on but they were so close to the house ;-).. Unfortunately it's cost me a bundle to be home so much and my truck just gets eaten...

I have been talking to the recruiter with ConWay Now and have heard some interesting things including the $'s earned..What can anyone tell me about the Good,the Bad,or the Ugly with this outfit ??
