| As
a company driver, Con-way Truckload pays .36 cents per mile, .41 cents
per mile if I am in the 11 North East states. Team drivers start at
.44 cents per mile. Placarded HAZMAT loads pay an extra .03 per mile.
Of course that figure only works out if a driver gets the miles. The miles here are GREAT! A Con-way Truckload driver is paid when the trip is dispatched, not when the trip pack envelope is delivered to the company. That means that you get paid faster. Con-way Truckload pays a driver every week. |

| Con-way Truckload pays practical miles. Some of my trips have been paid within 5 hub miles of my destination. Longer trips will usually pay me within 10 miles of my destination. I get drop pay and detention if delayed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Dispatching is very efficient and reduces any delays. Con-way Truckload uses a first come, first served method of assigning loads by posting my name on a "board" listing all the drivers waiting for a load. Teams and those going on home-time will move to the top of the board faster. Sometimes my trips are pre-assigned, otherwise, I always get a load very quickly. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Most of the loads are in fact, Drop & Hook. You won't be waiting for hours at a dock while Lumpers take their time unloading you, then re-palletize the freight before they sign your bills. If I do Live-Unload or Live-Load, freight is moved on and off quickly. Some loads will need me to help out but those are rare and depend on the customer. The majority of my loads are Drop & Hook. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Very
few loads will be swapped unless it is necessary to keep the freight
moving constantly, or if a driver has an emergency or is coming off
or going on home-time. Some companies swap a load off a driver in
order to further reduce the dispatched miles paid to the next driver.
That of course is simply a method of skimming money from the paychecks
of company drivers. Swaps also increase the driver work load by an
additional drop and hook. It gets rougher if the load needs to be
scaled, adding frustration and cost. We can use our COMDATA card to pay for scales, no more out of pocket expense! |

| Con-way Truckload buys new model Freightliner Cascadias and has Kenworth T-660 tractors for company drivers, T-2000 tractors for teams. All company trucks also come with XM radio and an above average stereo sound system. The tractors are cleaned before they are assigned to a driver. Con-way Truckload buys new trailers, the tandems won't be rust frozen. I bought a tandem pulling tool at a TA and I rarely need to use it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Home-time is earned at 1 day per week. I spend more time out on the road because I like to take my home-time for a whole week. Some people prefer to be out for 3 weeks at a time, then spend 3 days at home. You can do that here if you want to. Your time at home begins the next morning after you arrive home, and ends the morning after your last day off, at 7:30am. So your time home will be spent being at home, not enroute to and from just trying to get there. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Health care costs are reasonable, my plan is very affordable. My health care costs at the last company I worked for was an incredible $75.00 per WEEK! Many truckers regard $65.00 per week as an expected and reasonable cost for insurance. Working at Con-way Truckload gives you a pay increase by reducing those expenses. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

We are a 48 state carrier and we also go to Canada. We also offer Regional runs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
