    They've cracked down on improper use of the "off-duty driving" line.

    Do not do lease. We have done lease and Co. Example: Your lease pay is 4800. By the time all the expenses are taken out, you will bring home maybe 700. They charge you for everything under the sun. We found out after going in debt, that the lease program has a 72% failure rate.

    Excuse the stupid question but what is the Comdata card and where can you make purchases with it? I will want to send most of my pay to my checking account and keep general expense money seperate. I was thinking on a seperate chacking account but if I could make regular purchases on the Comdata card then that might be my soluton.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    You can have your pay or a portion of it put on your comdata card and use it like an ATM card or debit card. The comdata card is the card the company gives you for things like fuel purchases, advances, etc.

    Thanks Lilbit. That sounds like a workable plan. Her's is her's and our's is her's, but I want mine to be mine. If you know what I mean.

    My husband is quitting Prime. My question is. What would happen if he dropped off his truck in Salt Lake, Utah instead of Springfield?

    Where did he get the truck from? If it was Springmo then he will probably get an abondoned truck on his DAC.

    Not a problem. One of the companies my hubby drove for had that option available. We just left his whole check on the card then I would write a comcheck off it for the money to pay the bills and stuff and leave him what I didn't need.

    Ok, next question. During the wellness testing, how far are you required to "duckwalk"? I may have to spend time in a gym to get that one working. Right now my knees don't want to cooperate. That part of my body does feel 58 years old.
