As a driver gone to fos and back, When I started I agreed to the pay with hopes of more $. After 10 months of 15 to 18 $hr average with 11 to 13 hr a day,+ weekend work, I had had enough. Con-Way got there money's worth out of me last yr. It was a costly learning expereance.
Good 1st person post!
Compensation wise: you were very smart to go back to driving.
Funny thing is certain SCM's as well as a few XGO personnel admitted to the fact that their supervisors were underpaid. However they down played it by saying that they get 14% ICP compared to a drivers 7% ICP. (gimmie a frickin break!)
I bet you were also expected or rather forced to attend all the Con-way functions to help boost morale and raise attendance numbers.
Also the new breed of SCM's are very hard up on giving Comp days. If you want to be promoted and have stated that to your SCM, they figure doing extra work above and beyond the call of duty is part of being promoted.
