hello everyone! I have a interview Friday morning for Conway freight in Lordstown, Oh. After reading a lot of these threads, I'm considering cancelling. I have been working for a company the last three years, paying about 400.00 a month for health benefits, I made about 50,000 last year, but work about 60 hrs a week. 401k, 3 sick days, 1 week vaca. Can Conway actually be worse?

pay and benefits a lot better. O/T after 8 hours. All the work you want. Don't believe about half of what you hear on here. A lot of ex-employees. with axes to grind. If you had worked here last year 60 hours a week, you would've made 87000 and at starting pay, you would've made 76000 working those same hours. Just a few facts for you.

That's if your on the clock doing dock or city work, btw. Road is mileage, and your home everyday. Monday-Friday.
 
hahaha! your probably right. I have to make a move though, so I guess it can't hurt to check things out. It can't be worse then how I work now, and how I am compensated.
 
Every barn is different... I say give it a chance. You will get a feel on how the location is by talking to a few people, and you can judge the overall feel of the place pretty quick.

Might be a notch above that(for now)...
 
Yes, you have no Idea, run away as fast as you can and stay were your at until you find something better, these people are in for a hard way to go and they know it.:6788::17::17113:****:fingure:
 
And again, lots of former employees voicing there opinions. Take all the info and make your own choice. I guess their forums are pretty boring, because they keep coming back here....
 
I know a lot of people at that terminal. Very seniority heavy but there are a lot of good guys there. If you ask questions those guys will help you out. Lot of good line-haul runs out of there too.
 
It is a great terminal to hire into. Lots of runs down the pike.

Sounds like your last gig is terrible. You will be extremely happy here.
 
Dude your a lot high on your numbers I have been here 11 years work average 55 hrs per week in the south and best I have seen is about 65 k no where near what you just quoted this man they might do that in the north but damned sure wont in the south !!

At least please post true facts not everyone makes that kinda money beerfd Really and yea some of us work a lot of long hours too and still don't get close to your figures you need to get out from under your chair once and awhile I agree he will prolly be happier than where he is currently but we don't exactly have a rose garden here either !!!
 
The 87 is fairly close but I dont think they are hitting 20 hrs of ot a week. Sure can't do anything close to that in the wonderful south. Work some of our flex guys 45-48 M-T then road run run em on Friday.
 
That terminal is a small city operation. It's there because it's the first or last stop for triples. Which he will be pulling in some terrible weather. He will get very close to what beerfd quoted. Them boys down south pay for that sunshine.

Because his last ride was so bad. He will be thrilled with this. Absolutely there are down sides. But he is coming from a bad place. And it sounds like he already knows how to run.

Not sure what your idea of small is..I believe there are many city bids covering PA and OH as well as probably 60-70 or so night l/h runs and maybe 20 day l/h runs. Gotta be over 150 guys there if not more, so he should prepare to be at the bottom(or top, if you read up on it) of a very tall totem pole.

So would you say if 80-90 out of 150 drivers were running LH that the city operation would be fairly small ?
