I'm a CWF noobie however I am 43 yrs old and I've seen enough to know a crap company from a good company so I'd like to add a different perspective. Sometimes when you been at a job long enough you get a little jaded and sarcastic and forget that although others may have it a little better, there are many more who have it worse. Theres a handful of good ones that offer paid bennies, paid pensions, and overtime after 8/40. There are dozens that do not offer any of these. My last company didnt even pay drop/hook time. Got pd mileage for the run, hourly for dock after dropping/docking trailer at reship, clock out before rehooking, mileage to go back and drop/dock again. Gave away 2 hrs a day. No bennies no overtime no pension. Image, professionalism, appearance of facilities was no way near CWF. Point is sometimes we focus on the negative too much. All companies have good and bad and CWF has more good going on than bad when compared to the majority. Are there better ones? Maybe, but how much better? You have to eat a little sh** at any job. Lets face it, none of us really want to work if we didnt have to. Well thats my sermon, thanks for attending. Peace out.:smilie_132:
the guy he went with to xco friday nite talks like boomhower from king of the hill, and sez man at least once a sentence. he's not from the north originally. when ever anyone talks to him at our barn, we always use "man" way too much, and with a deep southern accent. pretty boring, u just gotta know the guy i'm refering to.gfy said:
Just got my liscense from CSE(oops, CWF) so I'm greatful for that because most ltl co.s won't even give you a look without one.
Theres a few things about CWF I dislike, but thats regular with most co.s.Work is slow right now(as yall know)and I'm 2nd to last man on linehaul board, meaning I'm lucky to get at least one run a week, so I'm mostly stuck breaking CWTL vans from the west most nights.
What pisses me off is usually I'm forced to leave FAC early in order to give a forklift to a dsr from another terminal so they can break and go home,so right now, I'm clawing & scratching for at least 30hrs a week. Folks keep saying it'll pick up, and I'm optimistic,but that gets repetitive because thats what I've been hearing since March!!!
Lastly, we've just had bids and 5 of the top senior guys who was on dayshift p/d MOVED TO NIGHTTIME LINEHAUL!!! Translation:lesser runs for me.
CWF is a good co.,MOST of the mgrs have common sense and are way better than the mgrs at Southeastern(worked dock there right outta high school)who cursed like it was standard vocabulary. I'm sticking it out for at least a yr hoping it gets better.

I have talked to Fedex drivers on the road and they all are saying the same thing.Conway freight are losing customers because there rates are higher than other companies and plus to much freight is being destroyed by the dock workers loading the freight.I have seen alot of trailers from all over with people using no dunnage no load bars or load racks and the the FOS's are signing off on them.The bad handling of freight is the real reason Conway is losing customers and that is what Ann Arbor will not tell you cause they do not want to face reality.I believe Conway is losing money and employees do to this reason.
