I am not complaining, please take the time and read again my statement. Sorry it's my opinion and I am sharing it (open forum). And you are acting like a 13 year old! This is the second post where you are starting with me, what's up with that? If you have a problem with me, keep it too yourself. I have not said anything too you but you are attacking me in 2 different places now, get a life or get out!

If you two want to make this personal then take it to a PM.
Management is welcome here but you do not carry anymore weight here than all the rest of the members.

You give Drivetolive a lot of credit stating that he has the power to affect moral.
Personally, I feel that responsibility falls on management.

What's the infatuation with barnyard testicles? Press on

10% dock 25% wasting time 65% drivingThe job wasn't explained to me, I was flat out lied to. If I'd have been told the truth, I wouldn't have hired on. But I did, didn't like a lot of it, but I've stuck it out almost 10 yrs now. The terminal has grown considerably, so I've gain a lot of seniority in that time.
I take trainees on linehaul and they've told me that they were lied to as well. Many quit when they discover what the job really entails.
Oh, and they have also expressed they're distain for arrogant dispatchers that think they're #1
i got new for Dave M he's the one bring down MORAL.
I have seen the same thing. I know a driver who quit and came back, and he said that coming back to CON-way was the biggest mistake he ever made. Now he's gone again. And now I'm gone and I'm glad. Everyone is different. Some people have different needs than others. Some people "need" to work at CON-way and put up with all that crap for personal reasons. I don't need it and I won't take it. I'm glad I'm gone! Good luck to all.

You will never get any time in if you keep starting over. You will always be at the bottom of the list, no matter where you are. I'm sure you will quit your next job as well. Because, you don't take crap from anybody.
I didn't either, and been through a lot of jobs. Still don't here at Con-way but have 8yrs in and don't plan on going anywhere. There are ways to not take crap without blowing up and quiting in anger. Tm tried to get rid of me for a while, but I'm still here and we actually got to the place where we get along. Neither of us are perfect, in fact we found we have something in common...similar character flaws. He also knows that if he asks me a question I'll be straight with him and not try to
.One thing to keep in mind is that EVERYONE you encounter in your employ here at Con-way is getting $h!t from someone over them. They've got a job to do, just as we do, but I suspect many are going more crap than most drivers. Try and find some common ground. Also consider that we, as drivers, can at least we can use safety as a safe guard, in many cases. Supervisers don't have that luxury.

thats right supervisors are people too with feelings
we all have bosses above us and it is a shame that the rules are not consistant at each barn, you may be conway dedicated but it is only because you may be afaid of the unknown or you just like the abuse. Do you like watching the new guys come in and be happy for the first two days and then leave broken harted, they have families too and they are people it sucks rooster nuts

Con-way dedicated? You must be joking, right? {reminds me of a woman in a leopard print outfit....damn HOT video!} And no...hell no! I don't care to see the anguish this job causes many. That is in part why I volunteer to take trainees on my run. I try to give them a heads-up as to what to expect and how to deal with the supervisers. But still with all that, the fact is this job isn't for everyone and it is also a fact that most young people aren't used to working this hard. It demands a lot of time {not recommended for a young family}, effort, flexiblity and a thick skin. Also the way many dsrs approach it makes it difficult for new hires. Things they do and/or allow to be done add pressures to the job that are unnecessary. Maybe I'm too far removed from the difficulties of being new, for I realize things are much easier for me than for others given my seniority, but I try to remember how I felt and much of that was attributed to the pressures applied by supervisers trying to "make their numbers". If I can help a new hire understand the dynamics involved, maybe it'll help him to deal with it.
Oh and p.s. I just don't get the whole "rooster nuts" thing.
Wow
Hey I am new to the board, but I worked for conway for almost 2 full years, I like the dock work it is the only way to make extra money if you run the road. In the city it can be much and trust me I worked at a no. 1 mid size terminal avg 570K outbound a night. Its hard but, if you go anywhere else it is just as bad if not worse ( fedex freight, Fedex Nat they are all the same. Enjoy the fact you only pay 1 to 2 perc for med ins and enjoy the home time with your family. I am even thinkin bout comin back

It seems everyone who worked or works for conway always compares everything to fed ex. What about working for some of the other big boys like Roadway, Yellow, New Penn etc. It seems like fed ex & conway are similar. I don't hear the same complaints from the other ltl companies, are they much better? I suppose by the way people talk around here.
