Because nobody in XPN has any balls ,too much favortism among senior drivers who only worry about their own selvish petty needs and are close to retirement who figure why bother and newbies just happy to have a job who are always served a daily dose of con-aide.Remember it is the "me" generation who only care about themselves and not getting the big picture as the rug is pulled out from under their feet then it will be to late.
My location is about the same.The old timers are just to dumb to Realize That Conway has been fucking them over.All they care about is the Tractor they drive ,for some reason they think that piece of Equipment belongs to them???The new guys are just stuck in first gear.Their thinking is, all right im moving!.Yeah your moving in the speed Conway wants you in.As for people who been at Conway for 5 to 10 years.Wake the hell up!!Look at what Conway is giving you and see that your actually loosing money because there's no contract stating any advancement.So your not gaining anything.The new guys are making more and getting the same benefits as you are.WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE.OLD TIMERS PLEASE HELP US OUT SET SOME STANDARDS FOR THE FUTURE WORKER.LETS GET UNIONIZED AND GET A CONTRACT.CONWAY ISN'T GOING TO GIVE THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, IT ALL BELONGS TO CONWAY.
With ALL due respect to the dock worker they better start uniting along with the drivers.Because if dock want to have a stable future with Conway. they better have a contract with representation either wise your expendable just like everyone else at Conway.I want everyone to remember Conway is a company about making money any way it sees fit.So cutting cost by having cheap labor is a great profit making system.

This is what Doug noted in the shareholders press. .DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS Our company delivered a solid performance in 2014 as each of our business units executed our core strategies for continuous improvement. A modestly expanding economy provided the backdrop for growth in both the trucking and logistics markets. In particular, our trucking operations benefited from consistent demand, a stable pricing environment and expanding margins. Our profit improvement and strong balance sheet enabled us to deploy a portion of our cash balance to shareholders. During 2014, we increased our common stock dividend by 50 percent and initiated a $150 million share repurchase program. In addition, we improved the funded status of our defined benefit pension plan with incremental contributions. CON-WAY FREIGHT: Our less-than-truckload (LTL) company had a number of noteworthy achievements in 2014. In safety and maintenance, Con-way Freight earned the best safe driving and vehicle maintenance scores as ranked by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for LTL fleets of similar size. Safety is our number one core value, and these accomplishments are a testament to the performance of our professional drivers and skilled mechanics that operate and maintain our fleet.

Favoritism and racial remarks. Their RACISTs in NAT! It's hostile and Threats are made! Buddy system is here and our hr guy is a slow fat slob. He's racist to but he'll smile in your face like he cares but he don't. Fire him for not doing his job!
A new report by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) notes that since 1978, CEO pay has grown 90 times faster than that of rank-and-file workers. So while CEO compensation went from $1.5 million to $16.3 million, the average private-sector production and non-supervisory worker (which is 82 percent of the workforce) rose from $48,000 to only $53,200 in 2014. As a result, the top CEOs now make more than 300 times what typical workers earn.
As EPI states: Although corporations are posting record-high profits and the stock market is booming, the wages of most workers remain stagnant, indicating they are not participating equally in prosperity. Meanwhile, CEO compensation continues to rise even faster than the stock market. In order to curtail the growth of CEO pay, we need to implement higher marginal income tax rates and promote rules such as “say on pay.” At the same time, we need to implement an agenda that promotes broad-based wage growth so typical workers can share more widely in our economic growth. America finds itself where it is because of corporate greed. Sky-high salaries with golden parachutes for executives have become the norm. Meanwhile, more and more hard-working Americans are being forced into low-wage jobs because of bad trade deals moving middle-class jobs overseas.
There is one thing that could help overcome this yawning income gap -- unions. A look back in U.S. history shows our greatest economic period, the 1950s, was during a time when union membership was at its highest. Even the International Monetary Fund agrees more labor membership would help workers.
As a recent Business Insider article states, the U.S. needs to find a solution to an economy that looks good on paper but when looked at more closely is hammering workers: Organizing may not be the only solution to income inequality. But it's a big one, and it could move the economy in the right direction.

Drivers and Mechanics Join Union Through Card-Check It didn’t take long for 19 ready-mix cement truck drivers and mechanics in Sutton, Mass., to become card-carrying Teamster members, after a one-day sign-up with Teamsters Local 170 in Worcester, Mass. Workers expressed their overwhelming interest in forming a union at Dauphinais Concrete. Shortly thereafter, Local 170 Secretary-Treasurer Mike Hogan reached a card-check agreement with the company, wherein management agreed to stay neutral. This allowed local union representatives to meet with the drivers and mechanics before they started their shifts. “In one day the workers decided overwhelmingly in favor of Teamsters representation,” Hogan said. “We’re excited to add 19 new drivers and mechanics to our already dedicated Teamster ready-mix workers with Local 170, and we are looking forward to moving forward quickly on contract proposals. “ “There are several former Teamsters at the company that are excited to be back with the Teamsters Union,” said Paul Stuart, an organizer with Local 170. Tom Neil was a 16-year Teamster in a former job and he has worked at Dauphinais since 2013. “The company has been growing since I’ve been here. I’m all for the union and I’m looking forward to being a Local 170 member again,” Neil said. This victory is the latest in a string of organizing wins for Local 170 in the past month. Workers who recently joined Local 170 include:
SEEMS LIKE THE CONWAY AND FEDEX WORKER'S ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE BRAINWASHED INTO BELIEVING THAT THE COMPANIES HAVE THE EMPLOYEES BEST INTEREST.WHAT'S THAT THE COMPANIES SAY WE DIDN'T KNOW GIVE US ANOTHER CHANCE WE'RE TRYING TO CHANGE.BOOHOO WE CARE ABOUT YOU... YEAH KEEP DRINKING THAT KOOL-AID SLAVES AND JUST KEEP GETTING FUCKED BY THE CORPORATE THUGS.
NAT THE UNION OFFERS YOU PROTECTION AGAINST BULLYING & RACIAL ANTICS. DON'T BE SCARED TO FILE THE PETITION BECAUSE IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORST. SETH GAYLEN ISN'T DOING HIS JOB & NAT WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE DSR'S & FOS'S BECAUSE OF AN ANGRY TERMINAL MANAGER WHO'S READY TO MOVE ON BUT IS LOST. NAT YOU GUYS DESERVE BETTER, VOTE UNION 2015 & LET'S GET THESE PETITIONS GOING AGAIN IN THE SOUTHEAST.
Sad to say I was in a truck stop on my lunch break when two truckers were discussing ConWay as being the worst carrier to work for. Couple of years ago I would've let them have a piece of my mind but as for what we're going through now at this time with company screwing us I just kept my head down!!
NAT YOU CAN WORK & BE PROTECTED BY THE UNION. FAVORITISM & RACISM HAS COST MANY, MANY, FOS'S TO LEAVE THAT BARN. DSR'S WELL, THEY FELT IT JUST WASN'T WORTH IT TO WORK UNDER YOUR TERMINAL MGR. NAT HANG IN THERE BECAUSE BEING BULLIED BY YOUR TERMINAL MGR IS JUST A RELEASE OF ANGER BECAUSE HE JUST READY TO MOVE ON, & IT ISN'T YOU GUYS FAULT. WHAT WAS GAIN FROM YOUR MGR BULLYING ADDED UP TO LOST OF SUPERVISORS & THE DECLINE OF DSR'S. TRUST ME IT WILL TURN AROUND FOR YOU GUYS JUST HANG IN THERE.
All I see is a bunch of punks. Guys who talk the talk but don't walk the walk. YOU want a union at your terminal then YOU call a local union to find out how to get a campaign started, YOU go to union meetings, YOU talk to your coworkers about the union, YOU get union cards signed, YOU tell the FOS's,FOM's Terry Franzten,Dave Burk and any other coworker who says anything negative about the union TO GO FUCK THEMSELVES! It would be YOUR union and YOUR union is only as strong as YOU make it. I'm tired of guys saying "I'm afraid of getting fired" THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF GETTING A UNION SO CONWAY CAN'T JUST FIRE YOU on some trumped up charges. If they do then YOU call the NLRB on their ass and file a charge and YOU give Conway hell. Stop letting Conway set and change the rules to benefit Conway YOU work hard every day and should be treated with respect. Stop letting Conway have different rules for kool aid drinkers. Stop letting them bully you into being scared of them. RESPECT IS A TEAMSTER'S CONTRACT VOTE YES LOCAL 705 AT XME

Don't drink that koolaid in Laredo seems the manger Ted Garcia spiking the Gatorade with some special anti Union special blend but it's to litte to late can't wait to see your face when we certified and the big notice that you will have to post that you violated the N L R B rules so next time keep your trap shut and happy 4th off July to our brothers not you Ted Garcia
Because nobody in XPN has any balls ,too much favortism among senior drivers who only worry about their own selvish petty needs and are close to retirement who figure why bother and newbies just happy to have a job who are always served a daily dose of con-aide.Remember it is the "me" generation who only care about themselves and not getting the big picture as the rug is pulled out from under their feet then it will be to late.
My location is about the same.The old timers are just to dumb to Realize That Conway has been fucking them over.All they care about is the Tractor they drive ,for some reason they think that piece of Equipment belongs to them???The new guys are just stuck in first gear.Their thinking is, all right im moving!.Yeah your moving in the speed Conway wants you in.As for people who been at Conway for 5 to 10 years.Wake the hell up!!Look at what Conway is giving you and see that your actually loosing money because there's no contract stating any advancement.So your not gaining anything.The new guys are making more and getting the same benefits as you are.WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE.OLD TIMERS PLEASE HELP US OUT SET SOME STANDARDS FOR THE FUTURE WORKER.LETS GET UNIONIZED AND GET A CONTRACT.CONWAY ISN'T GOING TO GIVE THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, IT ALL BELONGS TO CONWAY.
What about the dock workers. Seems like there being to the side. Last time I heard they also have a vote. Show some respect.
Happy 4th to all from tulsa, Oklahoma
With ALL due respect to the dock worker they better start uniting along with the drivers.Because if dock want to have a stable future with Conway. they better have a contract with representation either wise your expendable just like everyone else at Conway.I want everyone to remember Conway is a company about making money any way it sees fit.So cutting cost by having cheap labor is a great profit making system.
Im just wondering if any CONWAY investor's coming here and read this blog?If any investors would like to post their opinion,Im one Conway worker that would like to know what they think about any of this??
If they had half a brain they would take their money somewhere else.
I MYSELF WELCOME ANY INVESTOR'S COMMENTS AS WELL. WHAT'S YOUR OPIONION ABOUT CON-WAY'S PRESIDENT STOTLAR? IS THIS GUY CALLING THE RIGHT SHOTS? WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON A SHIPPING INDUSTRY USING A MANUFACTURING MODULAR AS LEAN? WHAT'S YOUR OPIONION ON HOW STOTLAR HAS WASTED A GREAT DEAL OF PROFIT TRYING TO STOP THE INEVITABLE UNION FROM FORMING? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF CON-WAY'S PRICING ANALYST?
NOW THAT GREECE HAS PRETTY FOOLDED & THEY ARE LOOKING FOR HAND OUTS FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE, ARE YIU INVESTOR'S CONCERN ABOUT ANY OF THAT? WOULD GUYS BE BETTER OFF COMING TOGETHER TO INVEST IN A COMPANY THAT HAS A MORE COMPETENT PRESIDENT?
INVESTORS, STOTALAR STARTED THIS WHOLE UNION ENVIRONMENT HIMSELF. HE'S EXTRAVAGANT SPENDING AND DENYING THE WORKERS THERE BASIC RIGHTS & COVERAGES. CUTTING PENSIONS SO HE COULD SHOW IT AS PROFIT IS ALL HIS IDEAS. WHEN THINGS START TURINING SOUR HE LET GREG LEMKUHL TAKE THE HEAT (COWARD) THEN HE LET HIM GO BECAUSE HE FELT THE UNION ORGANIZING HAD COME TO A HAULT BUT NOT WITHOUT A HEAVY PRICE TAG FOR HIMSELF & YOU INVESTORS.

This is what Doug noted in the shareholders press.
.DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS
Our company delivered a solid
performance in 2014 as each of
our business units executed our
core strategies for continuous
improvement. A modestly
expanding economy provided the
backdrop for growth in both the
trucking and logistics markets. In
particular, our trucking operations
benefited from consistent demand,
a stable pricing environment and
expanding margins.
Our profit improvement and strong balance sheet enabled us to
deploy a portion of our cash balance to shareholders. During
2014, we increased our common stock dividend by 50 percent
and initiated a $150 million share repurchase program. In
addition, we improved the funded status of our defined benefit
pension plan with incremental contributions.
CON-WAY FREIGHT: Our less-than-truckload (LTL) company
had a number of noteworthy achievements in 2014. In safety
and maintenance, Con-way Freight earned the best safe driving
and vehicle maintenance scores as ranked by the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for LTL fleets of
similar size. Safety is our number one core value, and these
accomplishments are a testament to the performance of our
professional drivers and skilled mechanics that operate and
maintain our fleet.
Did any shop's get credit or recognized for the great work they've done?I know my shop didn't get crap.All we got is.Follow the SWI and meet our SRT.We want up time, no excuses to have down time.
YOUR RIGHT BROTHER, HOW WILL STOTLAR SHOW A PROFIT FOR NEXT QUARTER? IT JUST SEEMS FUNNY HOW HE'S PRAISING THE WORK OF THE MECHANICS AND THEY HAD NO IDEA OR RECOGNITION BEFORE HAND HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE TO CON-WAY. WE DSR'S NOW HOW IMPORTANT THE MECHANICS ARE, STOTLAR'S PLATFORM OF SUCCESS IS SINKING & HE'S TRYING TO IMPRESS THE SHAREHOLDERS. STOTLAR HAS A SERIOUS MANAGEMENT PROBLEM & WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE NEW DOO THAT REPLACED DAVE WARTER, SETH GAYLEAN? THE ONE GUY WHO 'S 31 yESRS OLD AWARDED THAT POSITION BUT NEVER BEEN A TERMINAL MANAGER IN HIS LIFE.

NNC DSR'S SHOULD GET XTRA PAY FOR HELPING OUT THE ATLANTA ZOO.....
DO I HEAR UNION, WE NEED THE UNION PEOPLE THE WAY THESE TERMINALS ARE BEING MANAGED IS DISGUSTING. ......
Too busy trying to figure out ways to screw us and making a new video on how to spin this whole messed up situation.
A new report by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) notes that since 1978, CEO pay has grown 90 times faster than that of rank-and-file workers. So while CEO compensation went from $1.5 million to $16.3 million, the average private-sector production and non-supervisory worker (which is 82 percent of the workforce) rose from $48,000 to only $53,200 in 2014. As a result, the top CEOs now make more than 300 times what typical workers earn.
As EPI states:
Although corporations are posting record-high profits and the stock market is booming, the wages of most workers remain stagnant, indicating they are not participating equally in prosperity. Meanwhile, CEO compensation continues to rise even faster than the stock market.
In order to curtail the growth of CEO pay, we need to implement higher marginal income tax rates and promote rules such as “say on pay.” At the same time, we need to implement an agenda that promotes broad-based wage growth so typical workers can share more widely in our economic growth.
America finds itself where it is because of corporate greed. Sky-high salaries with golden parachutes for executives have become the norm. Meanwhile, more and more hard-working Americans are being forced into low-wage jobs because of bad trade deals moving middle-class jobs overseas.
There is one thing that could help overcome this yawning income gap -- unions. A look back in U.S. history shows our greatest economic period, the 1950s, was during a time when union membership was at its highest. Even the International Monetary Fund agrees more labor membership would help workers.
As a recent Business Insider article states, the U.S. needs to find a solution to an economy that looks good on paper but when looked at more closely is hammering workers:
Organizing may not be the only solution to income inequality. But it's a big one, and it could move the economy in the right direction.

Drivers and Mechanics Join Union Through Card-Check
It didn’t take long for 19 ready-mix cement truck drivers and mechanics in Sutton, Mass., to become card-carrying Teamster members, after a one-day sign-up with Teamsters Local 170 in Worcester, Mass.
Workers expressed their overwhelming interest in forming a union at Dauphinais Concrete. Shortly thereafter, Local 170 Secretary-Treasurer Mike Hogan reached a card-check agreement with the company, wherein management agreed to stay neutral. This allowed local union representatives to meet with the drivers and mechanics before they started their shifts.
“In one day the workers decided overwhelmingly in favor of Teamsters representation,” Hogan said. “We’re excited to add 19 new drivers and mechanics to our already dedicated Teamster ready-mix workers with Local 170, and we are looking forward to moving forward quickly on contract proposals. “
“There are several former Teamsters at the company that are excited to be back with the Teamsters Union,” said Paul Stuart, an organizer with Local 170.
Tom Neil was a 16-year Teamster in a former job and he has worked at Dauphinais since 2013.
“The company has been growing since I’ve been here. I’m all for the union and I’m looking forward to being a Local 170 member again,” Neil said.
This victory is the latest in a string of organizing wins for Local 170 in the past month. Workers who recently joined Local 170 include:
SEEMS LIKE THE CONWAY AND FEDEX WORKER'S ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE BRAINWASHED INTO BELIEVING THAT THE COMPANIES HAVE THE EMPLOYEES BEST INTEREST.WHAT'S THAT THE COMPANIES SAY WE DIDN'T KNOW GIVE US ANOTHER CHANCE WE'RE TRYING TO CHANGE.BOOHOO WE CARE ABOUT YOU...
YEAH KEEP DRINKING THAT KOOL-AID SLAVES AND JUST KEEP GETTING FUCKED BY THE CORPORATE THUGS.
Way to go laredo, and one top mgt said conway will never reconize laredo as teamsters i gues that guy is eating crow right now .
NAT THE UNION OFFERS YOU PROTECTION AGAINST BULLYING & RACIAL ANTICS. DON'T BE SCARED TO FILE THE PETITION BECAUSE IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORST. SETH GAYLEN ISN'T DOING HIS JOB & NAT WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE DSR'S & FOS'S BECAUSE OF AN ANGRY TERMINAL MANAGER WHO'S READY TO MOVE ON BUT IS LOST. NAT YOU GUYS DESERVE BETTER, VOTE UNION 2015 & LET'S GET THESE PETITIONS GOING AGAIN IN THE SOUTHEAST.
Sad to say I was in a truck stop on my lunch break when two truckers were discussing ConWay as being the worst carrier to work for. Couple of years ago I would've let them have a piece of my mind but as for what we're going through now at this time with company screwing us I just kept my head down!!
LHW is in the works. Larado is just the beginning. We have a bully manager to and he needs to go!
NAT YOU CAN WORK & BE PROTECTED BY THE UNION. FAVORITISM & RACISM HAS COST MANY, MANY, FOS'S TO LEAVE THAT BARN. DSR'S WELL, THEY FELT IT JUST WASN'T WORTH IT TO WORK UNDER YOUR TERMINAL MGR. NAT HANG IN THERE BECAUSE BEING BULLIED BY YOUR TERMINAL MGR IS JUST A RELEASE OF ANGER BECAUSE HE JUST READY TO MOVE ON, & IT ISN'T YOU GUYS FAULT. WHAT WAS GAIN FROM YOUR MGR BULLYING ADDED UP TO LOST OF SUPERVISORS & THE DECLINE OF DSR'S. TRUST ME IT WILL TURN AROUND FOR YOU GUYS JUST HANG IN THERE.
Bring them to NTH! We've been screwed since our manager left. This new guy Sam doesn't know shit! Just billshit!
They dont protect us in NAT. The HR guy has favortism and looks to fire black guys. Hes racist. But he'll look you in the face and lie to you.
All I see is a bunch of punks. Guys who talk the talk but don't walk the walk. YOU want a union at your terminal then YOU call a local union to find out how to get a campaign started, YOU go to union meetings, YOU talk to your coworkers about the union, YOU get union cards signed, YOU tell the FOS's,FOM's Terry Franzten,Dave Burk and any other coworker who says anything negative about the union TO GO FUCK THEMSELVES! It would be YOUR union and YOUR union is only as strong as YOU make it. I'm tired of guys saying "I'm afraid of getting fired" THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF GETTING A UNION SO CONWAY CAN'T JUST FIRE YOU on some trumped up charges. If they do then YOU call the NLRB on their ass and file a charge and YOU give Conway hell. Stop letting Conway set and change the rules to benefit Conway YOU work hard every day and should be treated with respect. Stop letting Conway have different rules for kool aid drinkers. Stop letting them bully you into being scared of them. RESPECT IS A TEAMSTER'S CONTRACT VOTE YES LOCAL 705 AT XME
