I love the 2 hour back-up. We have a lot of day runs and sometimes have to wait on equipment to come back. If you're not at a large center with long runs, I see why you wouldn't like it.

But everybody has their own opinions..right?

For me...life got better AFTER Con-way. Lord knows I drank the kool-aid, but once I put my glass down...I didn't have to worry about being overhead and my job eliminated.
I no longer had the stress or expectation of working a minimum 12-14 hour day. I can go home after 8 or 9 hours and be a family man. I am still a salaried employee, I actually got a bigger office and negotiated the same pay. All I'm saying, there is life after Con-way and alot of times, it's better.

12-14 hour minimums? You allude to working at the FSC (or CGO, depending on when you were there). I know a lot of folks there, in pricing, safety, linehaul, lean, HR, customs, L&D, etc. None of them work anything like that, most around 8-9 hours.

Even the south end of the third floor is cleared out by 5 or so.

I really can't imagine which department you were putting in 14 hour days into.

These changes will all go away if the union goes away at least the union has there attention for now the only reason they are making changes is because of union activity believe it or not

Count on it. They said they would do whatever they legally could to keep the union out. Lying is legal.

That's what Saturday morning is for, when you get back at a decent time, not 1:30 in the afternoon.

A lot of business cannot be conducted on the weekend. I'm never there past 10 am anyways. Nobody is there after noon. Unless you breakdown or something. Had a driver not punch out til 1700 one saturday. He broke down. made some good money that day.

Let's hope they keep their promise. :17142:

Which promise? You can be sure they will do whatever, legal or illegal to keep the union out. All there other changes that benefit the drivers will more than likely disappear with any reason they think you might believe. They have proven so many times over the last 7to10 years that they have no INTEGRITY. If the changes are not in a legal binding contract, they are just farts in the wind.
