We run team with conway and stay busy most of the time, solos we talk to do really well if they stay on the east coast its different with each class (van, straight, tractor) some run steadier than others. As for the log stuff just run legal and they don't have a problem with you the reschool...

ConWay once threaten to leave us out of service for two months for going home without permission as the (now removed) dispatcher put it. That was last year, this year they are happy to put you in service whenever your ready to go. Even after taking the three months off during the summer after...

RE: Straight Truck or Tractor/ Con-Way NOW or Lan My wife and I live in the east texas area and drive a team C unit on with conway and do all right. We have had some really good loads from dallas, but we have also had times were five teams sitting at the J in dallas waiting on a load and...

this is the Kicker they worded the Addendum as minimum rate then i called for clarifaction and they said it is flat rate i think it was worded this way to get folks to sign easier. We're in a C so this only covers c units here is the Addendum ADDENDUM TO AGREEMENT FOR LEASED EQUIPMENT AND...

What is going on I just got off the phone with conway now after finding out they are going to a flat rate system, and being told to accept it or quit, is this such a good idea? What does everyone think on flat rate scales? With fuel cost as they are is lowering rates the best idea? Any insight...

We don't like the fact some places charge, but when you compare the detrioter to the romulus it's worth the five bucks even though they reopened the diner at romulus its so dirty. The other day we stopped at the truckers Pardise in orlando fl they charged 8.50 per 24 hours had working girls in...

... True Story If this doesn't light your fire -- your wood is wet!! I try not to be biased, but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie. His placement counselor assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee and wasn't sure I wanted one...

Sounds like MrandMrs are on track just low on funds starting out. Getting a lawyer when needed is very important. My wife and I took everything to get our first truck this past summer, then our first nite out we were hit by a tt totaled our truck. If we hadn't called an attorney right away we...

Well the only 18 wheeler that went up against our little truck is headed to the scrap pile. We will be repaired and on the road again in no time.

This all happen on I-40 in tennessee. The wrecker driver told us he cleans up a wreck near that area at least once a week. It was at the 73 mile post just past the rest area.

Our first load in our new truck was a six foot crate that was rather light,a boiler, we put it on the end so it would be easy to unload, secured it with load locks and more straps than needed. So I thought, 160 miles to the drop we got rear ended by a loaded TT. The freight was untouched by a...

It was a mess we had to be towed because the fan housing was hitting the fan so the frame be bent somewhat. Those two were the only pics i have as of yet. He hit us deadon in the rear then drove up our side hitting us three or four times once just under the sleeper I dont know how he made it out...

Just an update We went with conway everything seemed great, but on our first run we were rear ended by a 98 kenworth messed up our truck a little. totaled out the kenworth. Were alright the other driver is alright everyone was just shaken up. Seems the other driver nodded off with his cruies...

We figured it was secured the way the shipper approved, and noted it on the paperwork then sent a QC informing as much so we were covered, but if it had been a heavy load and the shipper wouldn't put it where we wanted in the truck it would have been left on the dock. As a shipper in S carilonia...

i havnt heard about that policy it never took more than a half day to get loaded sitting at home in texas, running team. We wouldnt sit empty more than two days anywhere. If not loaded after two days we would go home, weither it was fifty miles or 1800, no load, time to head to the house. When...

The air ride reduces the need for much of the securment of most loads, once we had an engine on a pallet it was four feet tall the shipper would only allow one strap at the bottom eight inches. That was the longest 2000 miles we ever drove but it did not move. Any other load we use four to...

Yea those weeks are great we can back you one the milage. I remember we once had to take a 1800 mile load away from three solo vans that were slated to tag team it to the drop, because it was an oversize load. The first we met in memphis who said he had just sat for two weeks in laredo before...

I do agree with this, i have worked with expedite soultions driving for conway now for the past year and have never said anything but positive about either. I know no company is 100% good, but reflectiing only thier best means you will always have a place among their ranks. Even when it was the...

The sprint card does have national coverage and if you have a tax id and a business name you can get the 80 unlimited plan, as we said it worked everywhere but montana. I have heard of the cable and program you can get at best buy to make a cell phone work for dial up, but have yet to find it...

That is a very positive way to look at things thanks.
