It pays the bills. There are quite a few things I would like to see change, and if things go the way I am hoping I will be driving for the bullfrog before long. If if doesn't work out, I will stay put. There are worse things in life than working for Con-way.

I'm not really sure what rollin refers to about people having wrecks and losing lives, that certainly doesn't happen at my yard, but maybe he could enlighten us. Truth enough?

Last time I looked, we have our own roll over thread, and not to mention a w and r lady killed on the San Antonio dock by a crate. Bottom line, you can go through these Conway threads and see what I'm referring to system wide. Try googling Conway freight accidents and tour computer will overload. They push us to hard and these are the results. Dumb rules--- walk outside the painted crosswalk, walk 10 ft away from an idling forklift, run over a dock bumper on a lift are grounds for discipline. Are u serious?

I'll tell all the truth that's really necessary. It's a decent place to work, definitely not the best but far from the worst. Pay could be more, and the health insurance really isn't all that expensive. I pay for myself and 3 dependents somewhere around $20 a week. It's a high deductible program, but half d my deductible is covered by a fund that's Con-way's money, not mine. If you're healthy you probably won't ever exhaust the fund, and another positive is that whatever you don't use is carried over to the next year on too of the next year's fund. It's a far cry from free bit it's not too bad. The pay structure is convoluted and just became more so, but as all of you know they expect quite a bit from us.

The plan he's talkin about has such a high yearly deductible, your actually just giving Conway 20 bucks a week for free.

Yeah the deductible is high but if you read on, half that deductible is paid by con-way. If you're healthy, you won't pay anything in healthcare costs other than the weekly premium. And if you don't exhaust the fund, it rolls over to the next year. If you have a lot of health problems, that an isn't for you.

Y'all got to excuse rollin62, he hasn't seen his therapist this week. We're really embarrassed to have him as a representative for our company. Its really irresponsible of him to go around saying that Conway is killing people. I hope nobody believes that hogwash. Thank you.

If the boys in brown have/had any balls they would pay nothing for their healthcare. Like that company needs any relief.

You have no right to complain. The Teamsters helped a guy get elected and pushed thru a healthcare bill (Obamacare) that eas predicted to drive up premiums.

Here at ups freight we already pay out of pocket, there are two plans plan A, its 32.50 a week and the insurance is great, or plan B, no out of pocket but it sucks. I got plan A, 3 of my dependants went and got eye exams, 2Pair of frames amd 2 pair of lenses, $0.00 out of my pocket, and no they werent cheap frames neither. Now ups package, well for now they get to have their cake and eat it too, lets just see what happens on july 31st.

I would really like to see you guys get what we get, fully paid health care, the way it should be. I don't know who opened the gate on copaying for our health insurance but they should be shot.
