Hi i was wondering what kind of runs conway truckload offers i like to stay close to home cause i worked for conway freight and they let a bunch of people so friday not layoff, fired, termanted. thanks for any help.
thats more miles then i got in dec running team at my company im also reseaching conway truckload but don't want to drive team anymore do they make you run nycBe warned that the avg. miles for single drivers last month was only 8,000.
course keep in mind Nov. and Dec. are holiday months and many drivers take tim off.
But it has slipped to less then 10,000 per month for most.
Truckload has tractors up to 3 1/2 years old. Typically they will assign a tractor to the driver. If they can give options, they will. But typically, they are going to just assign a tractor. Once the truck is picked up, any issues the driver finds will be rectified by the Service Department. Truckload currently has Volvo's, Kenworths and Freightliners in the fleet.
90% of the time you won't get the load offer. They require you to keep your hours updated every day, so they look for work that fits with whatever you have available. People are people though, and computers are only as good as the data that goes into them. Mistakes can be made. In a little over two and a half years here, I could probably count on one hand the number of times that I've had to call about an illegal schedule. I haven't been fired.I would have to ask you if Con-Way allows you to abide by the rules.
Personally, I have very strong convictions about doing everything legally.
Many of the posts I have read indicate that carriers expect you to run even when you are out of hours.
I spoke with a recruiter and the very first thing she read to me was a disclaimer about their hours of operation, the areas within which they operate and my willingness to abide by those expectations. She went on to say that refusual of a load offer would result in termination.
So...if I get a load offer and HOS will not allow me to run the load legally they will terminate me?
