    Talked with Dennis the insurance guy today. He said that they are re-negotiating their contract with Cigna in July and our wifes medical costs will be going down on August 1st, which is when ours will kick in. So that is good news too.

    I started this thread with the intent to let other drivers know about Shipex and my experience here because I think it's a great opportunity. Didn't see much on here about it. So what i reported is what i see it's not for everyone but I think it's good deal.

    Thanks for the update. Yeah he said something to me a few months about that it might go down. Maybe they are getting more confident now. Hope so

    I heard some guys complaining about the company no bobtail rule. To the point they threatened to quit.Yeah it kinda sucks. Just depends on what kind of person you are. For those that can't take a trailer close to home they seem to work something out.

    Other wise, what's the big deal?? Heck this company has to have some rules if no bobtail helps the company keep paying my salary then who cares. There's always urber, even some of the recruiters offered to come pick you up and give you rides to the store when you are at the yard. So if not being able to bobtail around is a deal breaker for you just thought I would let know Shipex has a no bobtail rule.

    Roll on

    Do yall get tired of running the same lanes like 80 all the time??. Dont yall go to about the same dozen places like kind of a dedicated thing? How much is the health insurance for your spouse only. Do they still have a microphone in the trucks, outward or inward facing cameras?
