if you don't like the way i do it stay up there on that sorry con-way site and stay off this cf site . i care very little for any of you. if you shut your doors today I'll be a very happy man. that's all you con-ways are good for is to come down here and start something here on this site. your day is a coming and i can't wait for it. i hope i get to see it. and that yourI don't believe we are going down the same road.They changed the amount of our match back to 3% from 6%.The 3% was what it was when I hired on.They didn't take away any of our vacation , only now we accrue vacation time instead of getting all of it on January 1st as it has always been.I can live with that.The tractors were parked to save money on registration and insurance.Since the freight levels are down,we had too many trucks,so it only makes sense to use the older trucks until they are worn out.My terminal manager told me that they will be brought back on-line before the end of the year.As for my intelligence, I'm smart enough to know that I need to plan for the future and not rely solely on a pension or social security.I will be just fine.My first tractor here was a Freightliner cabover that was a CF truck repainted when Conway opened.Was a great truck,but I don't need another one.Our company has a contract with Roush-Fenway for the race truck that has already been paid for.Our President, Mr. Labrie, has said that if he had a crystal ball to see the future, he would not have signed a deal with them.Don't expect it on the track next year.Now that has been said, please learn about capitalization, punctuation and spell check, they will make your Veteran posts much easier to understand and follow.

Go ahead, I'll watch Con Way go down the tubes with YRC and the remaining teamster LTL jobs.
History proves that teamster LTl jobs never last.

I started in freight in 1983 and i feel your pain brother. I worked for St Johnsbury, Red Star and now UPS Freight. The best thing we can do is to befreind our fellow freight workers and get them organized. It is the only way to bring back the middle class in the freight industry and not let all of the jobs we lost be in vain.:smilie_132:preposterous were you around in 1983 the year cf started con-way i was i watch them take the money they got for selling freight liner..a completely separate entity not for the first 15years of there life cf pay every bill you had from a//z you name they pay it.as for false info the shoes are on your feet now just wondering how do they feel a little tight i bet . and i myself will retract my nut-kick to you and apologize for it to you. you said you need 12 years to get 33 years so add 12 year to me and I'd had 45 years. so if i do my math right i had 12 years at cf before you every started so i just might know a little more about cf// con-way than you do. best wishes to you and yours but not your company in these tough times and I'll stay at this site. like in the movie Rudy no one but on comes to this site and runs cf down if you didn't work for them .
