The economy is bad. In fact it is very bad, and trust me conway will inform you of this everytime you ask a question. My question is this... Should that stop you from wanting to be treated with integrity? Does that mean that I cant make a plan because I am mearly conway meat? Ok so we get paid really good. Does that mean that they can walk over you every chance they get? Hold the driver accountable for every action, but as soon as the supervisor or any other upper management screws up still hold the driver accountable.
Just because I get paid really good doesnt mean that I am going to take less respect. I appreciate the job and working with the majority of the dsrs I work with, but im not the one thats going to be sucked into the conway story of thank god that you are doing something. So until the upper management can get their mess together u are going to have complaining and it will never end because in their eyes we are just freight movers, in which would be no problem if they would have told me in my interview that I should expect no respect and be ready to only move frieght at all cost, But I was told I was a professional driver which means that I do Know a Bit about what Im doing. Or at least I think I do...lol

that i read on here, I'm surprised that any of you cry babies still work here. But you know what...5 years from now the same complaining/crying drivers will still be here. And those same people will still be complaining/crying about the same things. These people are never happy, not with their home life and not with their work life. Do you REALLY feel that you have it so bad? Have you not seen the news, read the local or national news papers, looked at the stock market? Have you ever done true research on the job market. Please allow me to enlighten you complaining/crying people for just a moment. Did you know that as a Conway Driver, you make more money than the national average(Based on the CCX Pay)?? Thats right ladies and gentlmen...according to the national average, we make $11,300.00 more. Did you know that not only from a monetary standpoint do we do better than most, but we also have a benefits package to boot. There's not a day that goes by that I don't read somewhere that companys, city workers, teachers, county workers, elected officials are having their pay cut, their benefits cut back and in some cases cut off. Have you people seen all the companies that are closing the doors? Closing the doors and refusing to pay any retirement benefits to it's employees and sometimes losing their employees retirement. You think it's bad here...try going to work for someone else. Thats right, go on, the door will be open on your way out, just like it was open when you came in. And when you do leave, and you truely see whats out there or lack there of, maybe then you will have a deeper appreciation for what you have or had at Conway. Conway Freight is a great place to work, filled with (For the most part) good quality drivers, managers and people who really care. And guess what? As a Conway Freight Driver, you make more money and have better benefits than a person with a Bachelors degree 5 years out of school. But I guess no matter what I say, or point out, your rebuttals will be of some crying/complaining issues that pertains to just the individual speaking, like "I hate my uniform!" or "They made me tuck in my shirt!". So go on and quit, look for employment else where, I will move up another spot, I won't have to listen to you cry, and we all will be better off. A negative attitude spreads like cancer, something we all want to avoid and not surround ourselves with.
Sounds like you MAY have been employed with Conway for about 5 years!:smilie_132:
