    And we're heading to a Pete dealership. We had a message from des Moines saying they got an alert saying we had an engine diagnostic code show up saying we have high oil pressure, and the oil pressure gauge is sitting as high as 100psi. We've determined that there most likely isn't a blown head gasket as the oil doesn't smell of fuel, and it doesn't look like its got water in it. In Cartersville Georgia at the pilot exit 296, probably going to the Pete dealer in Kennesaw since its closest

    Hey gunner! This is my first post on the forums. I have read all about your experience thus far. Everyone talk about pay and so on but can you tell me about their medical insurance? I applied a while back with TMC but never did follow thru. I work a factory job now but I have a desire to drive. I make good money now but I always catch myself reading on here and you don't see much about insurance?

    The insurance is pretty decent. Health, vision, dental, catastrophic with cancer, life insurance, accidental injury insurance for your spouse, I have everything but the injury for my wife, she has her own through her job and I pay around 116 a week. The coverages are better than compared to what I had before at my last job.
     
    Latham Thanks this.

    So it would be almost safe to say this would be a good freight lane around my area? Is the insurance for a family more of 80/20 plan or would you say better or worse then that. What I have now is a 3700 deductible and after that it's pretty much taking care of. All preventive visits and med are covered without going against deductible. I guess if I called they would tell me but I rather hear it without any pressure on a decision! I need to make up my mind soon!
