Geez, congrads!mpwelsh007 said:hey guys. i finally got the call this morning from the manager at the raleigh-durham terminal and I GOT THE JOB! i go in for training wednesday morning at 8am. i think its 10 days training. don't know for sure. so, i'm pumped. it took three weeks to get hired on, but i'm a conway 4 life now.
yes! it is in conway policy. you cannot work for another transportation co. while employed here. 'conflict of intrest'mpwelsh007 said:here's the deal conway guys. when i put my application in at conway, i also put an application in at yellow which is right next door to conway in raleigh/durham. well, while i was waiting for the decision to be made by conway, yellow called and i went in and had an interview and took the drug test. i'm waiting on the drug test now. of course it's part-time work on the dock to start. yellow said they would need me to work on friday night and sunday afternoon. well, the tm at yellow told me that if i get the job at conway that they (conway) might have a problem with me working part-time at yellow. union vs. non-union. so, i start at conway wednesday morning and i'm going to tell them that i have the opportunity to pick up extra hours at yellow on the weekend. has anyone encountered this problem before? the tm at yellow told me that guys used to work at 2 or 3 different terminals/companies to make a little more money. will conway have a problem with this situation? if they do, is there any way that my job could be in jeopardy? i didn't read anything in the paperwork that said i could not work for a union company part-time while i work for conway. anyone have any opinions?

mpwelsh007 said:one question:
the tm at conway told me that i would make OT after 50hrs work in a week. isn't that against OOSHA rules to not pay 1.5x after 40 hours? i'm not trying to be greedy, just wondering how they might work. any ideas?
It all depends on where you live. that is how they do it at cse. you run a 70 hour log, thats how they get away with it.mpwelsh007 said:one question:

Just for the record I would not recommend this company to anyone.But if you think that this place is for you go ahead fair warning you will be sitting at home more than you would be working.If you you don't believmpwelsh007 said:Hello to all. I graduated from truck driver training school at ASU-Newport earlier this year and have been searching for a local job since then. I have been searching the messages on this board as well as classadrivers and I have heard a lot of good things about Conway, and so I went in to fill out the application today. Everything went well. I filled out all the paperwork and I have an interview tomorrow at Noon! I'm pumped. I really like the idea of driver/dock work. Seems like it would keep things interesting. I've heard that times are a little slow right now, but I'm going to give it a shot. I'll keep everyone updated on my progress!
this all depends on which sic you work at. I work at a chicagoland sic and no one sits home.at the very least they get out 3 days and get 6 hours the other 2. but this is rare.it all depends on where you work and the freight volume. Ive been here 13 1/2 years. I don't think it that bad of a place to work. No job is perfect. just remember that the co. is here to make money, just like we are. I've worked for alot worse co. for alot less money. Its all what you make of it.Nighthawk said:Just for the record I would not recommend this company to anyone.But if you think that this place is for you go ahead fair warning you will be sitting at home more than you would be working.If you you don't believ
