Hey Logger1, why is it that you think those backbelt work fine if worn correctly when I have taken mine with me to see several back specialists and they all say the same thing and I quote "THEY ARE USELESS, MAY AS WELL BE WEARING A DIAPER"..GET BACK IN YOUR cubical AND answer that phone!!!! they are just a insurance policy for when you do hurt your back !!!
What wrong with a diaper,The company loves that I wear it .I never have to stop.

A hands free head set is safer then holding a C.B. mic.
 
only at nkx

this new no cell phone policy must be only for nkx because no one at any of our other terminals has heard this new rule. so to all the nkx drivers its just bizz as usual!!:tongue0002: :wtflol: nkx
 
When you guy's break down, Sit there all night. Delay the freight! You might even run out of hours and need a hotel. That will get their attention regarding cell phones.
 
What??

The company issued back belts are nothing more than plastic, velcro, and spandex. They do nothing other than make you hot and make the insurance people happy. I used to do quite a bit of weightlifting and would laugh at the thought of wearing something like that when doing a 450lb. squat. Go to your local sporting goods store and look at the back belts they have. Most good belts are made of thick leather that wont let you bend your back and apply good pressure to your lower back. And like some1 else said before, when your busted for being on your phone, smile and agree with them. You'll never do it again. Standing ther fighting with your scm or fos is only gonna get them watching you.

DETrob said:
HA HA LOL thats right think about it. Good one.

I'm willing to bet conway GIVES their drivers money to pay those phone bills don't they. Last conway driver and ANY driver I have talked to tells me that their employer does not GIVE them ANYTHING. You have to work for it. So don't tell me "THEY" pay his phone bill because they don't.:ranting2:
 
Well what do you expect?
Before I retired from CF and was working the city they paid me to use my cell to call the customer. No more looking for pay phones saved the Co. money.
 
Answer?

Sorry :baby: - don't understand West Coast talk:redneck: I do know what the cell phone issue is at CSE - I don't believe you could "set me straight", Thanks anyway - Have a good day.
 
the cell phone use policy is in the whole company not just nkx. it has its policy number in the book. i think its policy number 564, or 514, but its not just nkx. i hope you believe me. this company is not out to rob anyone of time or money, and if you think about it they really do pay your phone bill. they just do not have any way to dictate who you talk to or when you use it. the one thing they do apply is a rule or (policy) that states you cant use it on their time. if you read into the policy it does suggest that you may use in case of emergency. i think as grown men we can justify an emergency vs. a need to chat, but i also feel that as adults we should not belittle the company that pays our income ( that pays our phone bill). i dont want you to see it my way, just to see it in a way of a business that is driven by production and saftey.... the saftey numbers in our business dictate yours, mine and our familys future. its about saftey not punishment. dont take it personal.............
 
dear brutus..........just be glad your a man that ca n squat a wopping 450 lbs. i bet youve ben in the magazines with thighs like that, or maybe your legs got strong from carrying you fat *** around all day, no matter the case belts do work if worn properly, if not they would outlaw them you idiot.... how can a company such as O.S..H.A, make it their regulation that laborers were protective gear. back belts, gloves, i guess gloves dont help either.. dont play bad and smart when you havent a clue about anything but what the steroid magazine told you.
 
Ok logger I started this thread and this is the last I will say on it.Conway does not pay my phone bill, I do. I get money fromthem for a service I perform, they dont just give us a check for sitting at home.By the way I think Im getting shorted because a good prostitute probably makes more than me, and thats what my employer makes me feel like if you know what I mean , and I must be really good because they are always f****ng me. Oh while Im at it I know who you are and I really wish you would try walking in a drivers shoes before posting .
 
The reality most likely of both these issues/policies ( belts/cellphones) are due to the companys insurance rates. If they can issue a policy that states no driver can use the cellphone except for emergencies, then no doubt they can take this to the negotiations table when getting rate quotes for insurance of their equipment etc. So what that boils down to is saving money. Just using good sense usually works for these kind of unenforceable rules. Just my take on this.
 
Oh and before you think I am a snoop from management, I'm just the wife of a driver for UPSF(who has no such policy for drivers), and I enjoy reading all the boards here. I do have a cousin who drives for Conway in the DFW area and I know he uses his cell phone all the time..lol.Take care now.
 
conway doesnt give me anything i work my a** off for that money! by your logic conway can tell me where to live and what car i can drive and what i can eat, do you get my point logger1. we are conway without us this company would not be here anymore so we will continue to play the game and use our cells for our own use and when it comes to useing it for cf we will not!! its only hurting conway!!
