    Sounds to me like you are one of a kind. But good luck just the same.

    Most companies will require you to run with a trainers for at least a few weeks.
    Why is there never enough time to do it right the first time, yet always enough time to have to do it over?

    Yes some of the loads are coast to coast not all. We run a lot of shorter runs too, There is a lot of sitting many times waiting on that coast to coast rn sometime a day day and a half even. Now in that time more miles could have been ran. With the conway merer sitting 4 a conway load for that length of tme is becomming the usual. It didn't use to be that way. Miles are on average ok but we stay out 8 weeks at a time and our miles should average higher.

    To: crb,

    Team freight is a high priority now and any delays are being reduced as the merger progresses. I think that the only thing reducing the effectiveness of all the company resources is our management organizing itself to cross the CFI/Con-way differences. As the merger progresses, you'll see all the bumps get smoothed out.

    I understand this but to say coast to coast runs is not the case.
    Truth is it is west coast to midwest really. I am also giving all the facts because I do not bend the truth to win a yukon. I want potential drivers to hear real life facts whether they like them or not. Miles are ok we average 20000 miles a month but that average should be high since we stay out so long. Also we end up sitting a lot. I like do regret but want anybody to know THE TRUTH!!! Life is not nesecarrily peaches and cream. We fight for many of those miles.
