Con-way Employer Reviews

Picking up and delivering frieght, working frieght on dock and breaking and loading trailers.

Looking at 60 hour weeks, forced overtime and hours. You come in when they tell you to, you leave when they release you.

found it very hard to stay positive here you had to bust your butt to no end. you have to fight just to get your 40 hours in and they act as if you owe them something when you do.

one of my favorite jobs. management were laid back and friendly. t-con paper work and clean dock. arrive drivers and help managers if needed

You get out whatever you put in to this job (OTR truck driver). The company is professional and strict. I enjoyed being on my own and driving all over.

other divers really helped you fit in and made you feel like your part of the team. load trucks then hook your trailers and go. you get to the service center the back your trailers to the dock, then you unload them and then you load your trailers,

Con-Way truckload is the best full time OTR company to work for. The starting pay is ok with very reliable dispatchers. Like most OTR companies you don't get a lot of home time, and the benefits aren't really great. Management is pretty good and culture values are decent.

I started as a Driver Sale Representative and was promoted with in four years as a Personnel Supervisor.

Driving OTR delivering goods to distributors across the US.
Gave me experience with International Prostar 10 speed.
Mangement needs improvement.
Coworkers were friendly hard working.
Driving in adverse weather conditions.
Was seeing new places Ive never been before

I am a dock worker in santa fe springs ca, the job is not hard but management makes it hard, they train you alot and when you start wrk they push you so much that you can not practice what they trained you to do, the supervisors are only watching certain wrks, while the favorite ones stand around with them on the dockstand every day for hours. you can – more... not leave untill they ok you to do so. They have now trained leadmen in fac because the fom does not want to come out and do the job, its a joke in santa fe springs. Supervisors also take lunch or money from employes in order to let them go hm early. They have now set up 3STRIKE rules which makes it hard for you to have a long career here. – less

This company is completely two faced everything they tell you is BS from your first interview till the day you quit....and you will quit! It's not a trucking company it's a corporation that happens to own trucks they screw there customers every chance they get but talk about integrity like they know what it means management is a complete joke it's completely – more... unreal like being in the twilight zone the things they come up with, it's just to hard to explain they are without a doubt the dumbest people I've ever worked with at first it's funny but after a while you realize it's not a stable place to have a career especially if you have a family to take care of. That's why the hire people with no experience so they can mold them to be mindless zombies and think con-way is there family. That is the CON-Way! This company has only been around since the early 80s who knows how much longer they will last. The bigger they are the harder they fall – less

great company
excellent pay
great family environment.
management is not the best
Hardest part of the job is it is consistantly changing.

A typical day at work involved me checking bags, I.Ds, and returns. I have learned the general basic as a security guard/officer working at this job. Management at the job was organized. Co-workers were very good to work with besides a few. My job was not hard besides the part at the end of the day when i was responsible to check all employees’ bags – more... and belongings to see if any product was stolen from the company. Mainly Con-way was a good job to work at. – less

The company is a key player in the LTL market. They offer a competitive compensation package with good benefits. Through my employment I enjoyed a variety of responsibilities. Positions are bid as in a union shop without a union being present. I enjoyed how that offered a variety of job responsibilities and added knowledge and growth.

A typical day at work is to go out and drive freight to and from customers in a time efficient manner. I learned quickly that I wanted to be in sales and the management team was a solid team to work for. My co-workers are the best part of the job and everyone treats each other like family. The hardest part of the job is having to work close to 70 hours – more... a week but the most enjoyable part of the job is the pay and the comradery. – less

I used to really enjoy currently working at con-way, a typical day for me is to go in at about nine pm, work the dock for about three or four hours, then hook up my trailers and drive to a regional destination such as Des Moines IA, St. Louis MO, or Wichita KS. Management is good on the shift I work with, but the same cannot be said in my opinion of – more... the shift I worked last year. I have learned that in a blue collar setting it is very easy to make yourself noticed with could work ethic. The hardest part of this job is the work to home life balance. Many times I work thirteen hour days and am quite often to tired to enjoy my weekend. The most enjoyable part of this job is the relationships I have built with my co-workers – less

Your work group can make or break you, so know who you are working with and have an exit plan in case you learn they are bad. Mine was bad. They would not collaborate, listen to new ideas or respond to solutions for improvement. They had one way - their way and actively fought anyone who disagreed. Their preference was always group-think over understanding – more... facts. My manager left, then a new manager came onboard with little experience and very unsure about managing people. It was a disaster. – less

Con-way Truckload provided good equipment which met all the required DOT FMCSA regulations. Dispatchers always available and friendly and willing to work with the truckers. Terminals were always kept clean and showers provided. Management were very understanding and always will to help within there means. Runs were very practical and fair. Plenty of – more... information to improve or advance on health. Very trucker orientented. – less

Focused on safety first. New loads always there with not much waiting. Routine servicing on all equipment. Always felt safe and cared for like a family member.
