Con-way Truckload, a full-truckload carrier and subsidiary of Con-way Inc. has announced new pay structures and programs aimed at attracting qualified team drivers to its modern, efficient fleet.

"Our drivers form the foundation of the company, and Con-way Truckload is committed to ensuring that they have modern, safe equipment, a good working environment and excellent, competitive compensation," said Clay Halla, president, Con-way Truckload.
The offerings include:
• $3,000 sign-on bonus for new, qualified team drivers

• Referral pay for successful recommendations of new and qualified driver teams
• Increased vacation pay
• Voluntary "per-diem" pay

• Modern, comfortable Volvo equipment known for safety excellence
• Increased home time
• Wellness coaches to assist with smoking cessation, weight, sleep and other health issues
• Ergonomically correct seating designed to enhance comfort, reduce fatigue and improve safety
• Uniquely steady freight volumes for steady miles and paychecks
• Electric landing gear to eliminate the need to manually lower dolly legs
• Installed inverters and in-cab refrigerators
