Good question! Not sure. Would he listen to me over him? Don't know. Would the SCM rather have one who stirs the pot or is a yes man? Both drivers being 20+ employees.Are you respected by your SCM to the point he would listen to you..??

If the TDC costs 1 cent...forget it. If our company is in dire straits, cut the fat, become a TRUE lean machine.
I have never had a problem with Con-Way sponsoring DSR'S in the TDC, until NOW!
We have taken consessions in wages, 401K contributations, and lost 5 weeks vacation pay.
I am not even taking into consideration the earlier cuts and added expenses we have absorbed.
Why do we want to waste money on a competion?
It makes us look like we care about safety.
BIG DEAL!
We all know the truth about Con-Way and safety!
If it sounds good, we are there!
I am so much more proud of my own, and my fellow employees driving records than any TDC.
The only person that I am aware of competing in the TDC from my barn has smashed more freight than anyone else. He is also an a**hole on the road!
Truth is: thousands of us do our jobs every day and get harrassed if we slack off a little bit.....that is the REAL rodeo!
If you really want to contribuate to our pay cut...............go ahead.. sign up for the Rodeo! Longtimeltl!:smilie_132:

there are to many brown nosers that will cae to there scm pressure to do these waste of time and MONEY for unreal situations and while there at it drop the NASCAR truck theres another waste of 7 million dollars our regional manager claims they are getting a 14 million dollar return on this investment B.S. no way possible there is no one at these races and its seen on speed tv plus this guy cant finish a race wthout pounding the wallLets all send a message to JOHN L thats heard loud and clear by boycotting the truck driving championship.Already had several of our dsr,s drop out since Mondays 5% give back. Our retirement has been butchered so much that we will be lucky to get $100 at retirement.To many broken promises about how good our retirement is(WAS).Been told we had the best equipment,best insurance,best retirement and all that appears to be gone now. So if CONWAY is that broke lets help them save by not going to the TDC.Always been fun everyear but the funs gone.If i really thought that we were in bad a shape as they say, I would be the first to take any cuts that were needed to survive. Do your part and just say no to the TDC. John L wanted 1000 to compete i hope he gets 10. Maybe that way CONWAY can at least pay for those 10,s mileage.:Flame-On:
well, if he want knowledge, read books, go to driving school to learn the industry, if you have been in this long enough, then you realize that it is not a profession, just a job. maybe they might let you drive a 2000 tractor instead of a '99. just saying. lets just keep on trucking guys. tricks are for kids
hey longtime whatever, I'm unhappy with the treatment of conway and I am not going to move on....As far as tdc goes Ive been to quite a few and done well, but the tdc doesn't make me a safer driver or does it make me do my pretrip any better. The tdc is 50% luck and 50% skill. Yrs. ago in the foothills of L.A. we had another tdc run by drivers we were called outlaws and the contest was more skill than luck.... H.P. thought it was great but the trucking co. wouldn't support it WHY......I am this yr. boycotting the rodeo and I will still do my pretrip and drive safely, as far as conway goes with thier attitudethey will drive this co. into the ground as they did with C.f. they blamed the union then what willl they blame it on now, drivers that didn't go to the tdc............

Maybe thats what they told you folks on salary, but they told our drivers it was the union....I agree it was poor decisions and partly a union problem enough blame to go around

Midirat1255: your post does not change a thing! Con-Way wastes tons of $$$ while cutting MY wages and benefits! :smilie_132:
Perhaps you don't consider this a profession but I and many others like me do as well...
Please don't lump me and my fellow professionals into your just a job nonsense.
We do everyday what millions of others can't...
Rat
Many here have done this for many,
many , years , regarding this farce.
