I would disagree. FedEx is a better company to work for!
Con-Way's management and training system is set up very much like LAIDLAW TRANSIT SYSTEM!
It is a company managed and based on a high turn over rate, not because the drivers are bad people or for that matter drivers.
However, they seek employment quickly elsewhere, due to bad management, equipment and other circumstances.
One of the things Con-way did, which is a good management style geared toward driver retention.
They began to train and trap youngmen and women , who have no idea how the trucking or transportation industry works.
They started an in house training program...for new drivers, and they began to train on transmissions that were not the norm in the industry....5 straight speed transmissions. I even hear they now road test in pups and not sets!
This is being done to help retain a majority of the drivers that participate in the training program stay with the company. THE TRAP!
As many do not know how to drive split or super 10 transmissions.
Very much how Laidlaw does, in order to keep the driver from going to a School District, for a better job environment.
Which Laidlaw / Con-way pays good money to train that individual. Usually top notch training with one hitch...a restriction or two, that other companies frown at!
With an in house training program with embedded equipment restrictions, drivers needed no experience necessary rear trailer door advertisements, is a clear sign of a company with driver retention issues.
FedEx was a better choice!
