Re: drunck driving
At one time this company hired the best in the industry. You had to fight to get a job here. The company treats their drivers like crap and they have a bad reputation in the trucking industry. They can only hire what they can get, minimum experience or school graduates. You get what you pay for. Con-Way got lucky that it happened on a Saturday morning and not on Friday. There was no mention anywhere in any news outlet. If it would of happened on a Friday it would of been all over the newspapers and the T.V. Like I said, You get what you pay for and this is the caliber of people they are able to hire. Sad, this WAS a good company at one time.

If all that happened was an illegal u-turn that turned into a DUI, as bad as that is, why would that "make the papers"? Sometimes, it is what it is. I don't see how this reflects on Con-way as a company. It's one guy doing something stupid (allegedly).

Thanks for the link. Much worse than I first heard, but my opinion about the company's connection to this still stands. This guy's obviously got some real problems. I'm just glad he didn't injure any innocent motorists with his stupidity. Real nice of the news to mention Con-way though.

If I'm not mistaken, if he admits to having a "problem" Con-Way can't fire him. Just like if somebody who has a drug problem. Go to re-hab and life goes on.

They don't do that any more after the fact. Only if you go in before a incident. The 1 time pass changed when they changed names.

It wouldn't matter, he was .204, his license would be terminated for at least a year. No license, no job, see ya assclown go work at McD's. They probably won't hire him either with that on his record though

One plus for this driver is his SCM won’t be pestering him to participate in the truck rodeo now.
