Sorry I didn't type back last night. Heard a loud boom and then my internet went down. 1bad had called regarding my post that I would drink it all and it cut him off too. Now that is sweet revenge! Did you get your cocktail Jess? I did send ya one..........lol or maybe I drank it who remembers!

I was wondering how long the I80 incident would hold off. 1bad has a thing about not crapping anywhere but home..................lmao! He told me not to put it on the message boards. Then look him and JJ get bored and start having a good time and then bam his big mouth starts running. So any banter he gets from it is his own fault at least.

Ok big day at the kid's school again today. If I don't get to post again HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to all the women sitting at home alone tomorrow!

It actually covers some things that most companies won't include in there plans. Not to mention how repetuable Atena is. We have had them in the past and they always pay what they are supposed to on time. I suggest the HMO if it is still available. Especially if your kids have been treated for anything in the last 6 months that could reoccur or turn into need procedures such as tubes in the ear/s or have tonsils removed. If not they will say it is pre-exsisting condition and not cover a penny of it. Also, a great benefit is no deductable. Pay your copays and go! I love HMO's. That is all we have ever had and never had any problems. If you need help understanding any of the verbage let me know. I am very verse in insurance lingo. Being from that back ground and I help my parents w/ all thier medical problems w/ both medicare and private insurance.

Help me know if I can help you!
Thank you so much! I'm not sure I still understand it all but I know it is comparable and not outrageous. It's really hard to decide when you're not really sure at this point what he will be making as an average per week. I know we need insurance but we also need income every week! So you and 1bad are getting the insurance? How many kids did you say you have?

Thank you
Be Blessed All!

We only have 2. But the price should not change regardless of # of dependants until you hit like 15 I think. Again I always opt for the HMO. Just better when you have any kids. Never know when you will need it and may not have the money to pay your deductible at the time. Ya know what I mean?

I thought Central was no longer hiring drivers...Just students? I may be wrong. As for the team thing...My hubby is driving team but he is with a O/O.....They are averaging anywhere from 4000-6800 miles a week, but they are on a Dole dedicated route. Times are tough right now with the economy. As for hometime, it's like anyone else....Put in when you want off. Has anyone else heard anything about Central having problems?

There problems can't be to bad, they have some new pro-stars in and still taking full classes every week in there schools and they picked up a few new contracts as well.

A company in trouble doesn't usually get new trucks in for Company drivers and JJ said there was a wait on Lease trucks.

But in saying that you never know in today's economy

Hey Jess,

Can you PM me w/ your email address? I have a couple good ones you will get a good laugh out of! Have you heard from our boys lately? Hope they got on the road on time so they can get to your house in time for the funeral and a couple good nights sleep. Sounded like to me last night they need it. Laughing at everything that was being said.

Yeah I was talking to them earlier! 1Bad is driving and there in Clearfield I think, and your right I think last night JJ finally released some of the tension that has been building up since his mom passed.

We discussed Dinner menu's lol.

Tried to call 1bad a few ago went to voice mail. I wasn't sure who was starting out this trip. Wished JJ had answered to relay a message to 1bad guess he will call back when he can.
