Default If you could change one thing about your current company...

What would it be?

In my opinion, the only thing missing here at Superior Carriers (or our sister company, Carry Transit) is that I'd like for our health insurance to include vision coverage. But other than that, I love it here as evidenced by my tanker thread and will not be leaving :wink:. Everything else here makes me ...

Lack of communication at times. I think this happens to everyone sometimes

Better tractors with a real drive train.

The pay & bennies at Con-Way are good. It takes longer to top out that some of the other LTLs, but they will hire you with the ink still drying on your CDL so it balances out.

Sterlings, at least as Con-Way orders them suck.

When I tooling about the city pulling 35k+ of newsprint in a "medium duty" tractor with a neutered Cat C7 with an archaic 7 speed it can be frustrating.

They also have horrible ride quality and little to no insulation or soundproofing.

Oooh. I forgot about that. Yeah, I know that 379s are out of the question, but trucks with motors that have atleast more than 300 horses. :? :lol: Oh, and bump up the governors to atleast the speed limit. :?

Right now, #1 on the list is a raise. And a VERY close second is a new ride. The ol' 1990 Pete just doesn't want to run any more, and it holds coolant like a busted balloon :roll: :evil: Hopefully it will be put to rest after this summer, IF it lasts that long :lol:

I would love to see actual miles driven paid but no company is ever going to do that - nice to dream though :lol: They pay pc miler shortest distance which takes the Ohio turnpike and they aren't allowed to take the turnpike. That bugs me! Ok so maybe let them take the turnpike then.

The other thing I would like to see is the deductible smaller on the health insurance.
