Don't expect a driving job if you are looking to work for Conway, instead expect a lot of dock work loading and unloading trailers, with some driving in between. That is basically line haul, which is what new drivers start out doing. When you get some seniority you can go for city P&D which is all hourly with overtime, (if it's busy enough). Dock work can really suck at times if you get awkward freight or a poorly loaded trailer, but the other drivers are usually friendly and will help you out. Some of the managers can be real
pr|cks, especially to the new guys, so just learn to ignore everything they say and only seek help from other drivers. Trust me, that'll make things much less stressful!
Weekend work is rare, and in this economy I'd be surprised if a new driver was able to get any, but if you're running line you most likely wouldn't have the hours to get it anyway. I don't know what the policy is with triples, I'm in CA where we can't run them, but considering the pay is more I would assume the old timers snap those up in a heart beat.
A lot of drivers don't like touching freight, so whether this is a good company or not for you depends on what kind of driver you are. I think this is why most new drivers are younger, lesser experienced drivers, because they typically don't complain as much, but that's not to say they won't hire older more experienced drivers. A lot of it has to do with attitude, if you have a good attitude you'll be just fine.
If home time is something you want, I'd highly recommend this company. 70 hour work weeks on line might not leave a lot of home time in the beginning, but stick around for a while and get on a gravy M-F 9am-7 or 8pm (+overtime) city bid and you'll have your home time as well as a decent pay check. The benefits are great too, although their new focus on weight management has lead to less cakes. (The cake they had was amazing, I think I miss that more than anything else! :tears
