    @drvrtech77 hey what ever happened with you taking action against your former company? Anything you can talk about, or none of my business? I just saw you make mention of it and never followed up. Just being nosey.

    These 400 mile a day drivers could never…I respect the hell out of the driver I left out with on this Alaska run but I will beat him to texas by 2 possibly 3 days. He does have 2 million safe miles here though. IMG_7846.png
    The “hours” per day is on duty and driving btw.

    The oddest thing I remember from my time at Crete was that the main safety guy had so many DUIs, he lost his drivers license so his wife had to drop him off every morning.

    If this is the drug, you’re saving $220 per month through CostPlus.

    SSB,

    You went back to Shawshank! Why? You knew that Crete was just another junk OTR company! Why, just why? Forget about the evil that you knew and thought it would bet easier. It isn't. I'm not even in your shoes but it makes me angry. Most OTR companies are just junk. After all of this time, is this the best that you could find? And I understand about the insurance. Every company that I ever worked for had insurance that started on the first day?

    Sure, we can change the title. Maybe something simple like adding "then to Creaffer".

    After all the crap paychecks I have had this year at SPD, I had to get out fast. Most of the places I looked at had far worse pay rates than here, and the way the economy is going, they're not likely to improve much this year. I know this company, I know their system and what they expect. Companies that offer day 1 insurance are hard to find anymore, and those that offer it have hefty deductibles the first 60-90 days. Hell, it's getting tougher to find a company that only has a 30 day waiting period for insurance.

    several of hers are narcotics, and the gubbermint passed a law a while ago prohibiting those from being sent by mail. Not sure what Ozempic is classified as, but I think initially it has to be refrigerated. As far as the Dexcom, she might be able to get them that way, but she just started with a new drug pusher (aka her doctor) who has been adjusting her meds and writing different prescriptions and having them all at one place is easier to keep track of. We're talking about a woman who has a morning and evening pill caddy, that are the size of a small fishing lure box. I think her previous doctor must have made enough on prescription kickbacks from her to have several vacation homes in very prestigious locations.

    You just posted more miles in one week than I got in the last 6 weeks I was over there. My 1st check over here just got deposited this morning. All it had was orientation pay, pay for driving a rental from Harrisburg PA to Columbus OH to pick up my truck, and a same day delivery from Columbus OH to Gordonsville VA, and it was $150 more than the average of my last 3 over there

    Maybe try Sam’s club? Or a bj’s it’s a newer club like Sam’s and Costco. Getting the dexcom in the mail isn’t a bad idea either. Or look into the freestyle libre. I use them aswell, just seems like they don’t stay on as well. Have to put a piece of tape over it. That was about the same price at Walmart as Costco for the dexcom. Oh don’t actually need the reader part either it adds to the price, I just use my phone with the Bluetooth. Save a nice penny that way.
