I believe you were right in what you did. We drive for Conway also and they do pay detention still. I don't know why Dave in dispatch would tell you that other than to get you to sit on the load for him. We sat on a load in NY for 9 hrs and got $100 for detention. Not sure if that is the norm...

I believe the best company for a solo with a 24ft truck would be Conway Now. We drive for them now and our best friend does also and he has been solo for over 2 yrs and runs good with them.

Well it all really depends on how much money you want to make. We usually go home for Christmas and New Year and stay out most of the rest of the year. When we get loads to FL we go home and sit and wait for another load so we get our home time stuff done then.For 2 yrs in a row though we stayed...

Not very much that's for sure.

That's gross. I have tattoos and they is just way too wierd.

We have a m2 112 and all we ever use is Flying J fuel. We find we tend to get better fuel mileage with it.

Yep they keep getting bigger and bigger and forgetting about the little people!

RE: Drugs and a Truckers responsibility to be avai Very good. You know though it's not just the lawmakers either. It's actor's, and actresses, and famous sport's people too.

Well we are a d unit team and we live in Ocala,Fl. We drive for Conway Now and have no problem getting to and from FL. Our loads generally d/l to Sarasota, Tampa, Miami,Palm Beach And so forth. Our p/u's coming out of FL are generally out of the Tampa, Ocala, Gainsville, Jacksonville areas. We...

Well I for one think that the government and I mean all of the government not just one side or the other has mainly run from the actual dealing with this issue. Neither side wants to push the issue. All they do is keep talking about it and taking their time off in the congress and making this...

We are with Conway and are doing really good. Have been running hard for a while now. Not too many slow periods. But like someone else said it's all about your attitude.

They always make it out like we are hunting down innocent people. They are far from being innocent. They are here illegally. It's not fair to all the other people in countries that are not border to border with us, that they have to wait and follow the correct legal channels to get here. Just...

My husband and I lve in Ocala. We run for Conway Now and have been getting loads to FL about once a week on average.

AAA does cover the trucking industry. We have it for both our vehicles at home and our truck out here. It also gives you good discounts on hotel rooms and rental cars.

P.S another thought is if they pass this in Canada and not in the U.S then wouldn't it be feasable to say that trucks will just say I'm not going to Canada. I know I brought this issue up with the higher ups at Conway Now (oops Conway Expedite), and they said that if this law passed just in...

I agree highwaystar. I think it will be a tough sell in the U.S. Your major companies wouldn't be hurt by it too much, but your owner ops will. More miles means more money and when your going slower it will eat up more time on your log book as well. I don't think they have thought about that...

Didn't they pass the law though in Canada?

Has anybody heard what Canada has said lately about that law they passed about govenors being required on all trucks coming into Ontario? It was suposed to be governed at something like 60mph. Just wondering if they have set a date that you have to have it by?

Yes I understand your theory if your just hiring percentage based drivers and not doing a lease purchase. I really do understand everyone's opinions. Believe me I've heard enough. All I was asking was if someone would consider talking with me and hearing me out, but nobody wants to.

Well gee wiz I can't even sincerely apologize.Oh well I tried. I did not bash that owner. I merely stated my exp. with him. Then in my last post I even praised how he treated us. But I guess you didn't read that part. Oh well God Bless anyway. Stay safe out there everyone.
