Hey Muleteam1: W H A T L O A D B O A R D? So far all you've done is skirt around the issue by giving us the ConwayNow website and we all know there is no loadboard there. Come on now, you started this now finish it.....please?
Go to the url I posted then Conway Now.At the top of the page track your most current load.Then go up the load #'s til you find the current days loads.Remember that Conway Now burns 400 #'s per day,not necessarily all #'s are loads. After you use the system you'll know more than Conway would care to have you know. I didn't tell you that !!
Got a little busy for a couple days..Didn't know how to act..
To the drivers in Jacksonville.You know that Florida sucks and Conway has little presence in thate state.I get a kick out of the Newbie that thinks they're something special.Took a Florida knowing they were going to Atlanta.2 weeks ago Conway Now had 4 teams in Atlanta for 4 to 5 days.NO FREIGHT..Sometimes Atlanta is good sometimes not so good..so-it-goes

Muleteam... what in the hell are you doing? You find something that gives you a little bit of an edge against the company and then you broadcast it for all to see. You dont think they watch this? Didnt you learn from A-Teams mistake? Believe me, you are not the only one who knows about your "loadboard" findings. I was probably using it before you even knew who Con-way Now was. Please keep your lips zipped when you find a weakness so that you can continue to benfit from it.
Why would that be a secret? I would think at most companies, or at least were we are at, that info is readily available. Even when recieving a load if it is everyday, look at the run numbers. They tell you how many loads a day are dispatched. And I might add, where we are at, they send it as general information over the QC. Even the locations.
As for Ateam, his trouble and others was with calling in to FedEx and constantly bartering on the rate. Or at least, that is his version.
That practice eliminated that option to other contractors.

It defineately eliminated that option. It wasn't so much of the bartereing that did it in,it was the A Team going public and bragging about it. Last night I was offered a trip with 166miles of deadhead to the pickup,then 133 loaded miles with 2 stops. Total miles 293,total pay $270.00.This is with fuel running $2.35 per gallon.I had to refuse this because of the inadequate revenue and the dispatcher said"My hands are tied, I am not allowed to increase the driver's pay". x( x(

You are correct with that one.
I don't know how Fedex expects you to do runs that pay .92 cents per mile. One could go broke pretty quickly doing these.
Apparently this is becoming a standard practice.
Explains why you see alot of Fedex in the EO classifieds
With regards to bartering & bragging
It is amazing that the acts of a few, effect so many
