    So long story short. my daughter spent 7/4-7/15 with me in the truck. on 7/8 at abouy 4:45 local were sitting about 1/4 mi from gw bridge on jersey side headed to long island. apparently theres a couple lanes closed on bridge anf so we sit waiting. traffic finally starts to move and so i release parking brake but give truck in front of me plenty of space anticipating traffic merging in between us. what does he do but roll back into me from 15 ft(smash) as if thats not enough he backed into me three more times( trying to and failing to catch a gear i assume) never once touchs his breaks, finally catches a gear and leaves. so i limp to median and wait 2 hrs for police report and tow off 95 to side road by port authority then wait 3 more hours for tow from kenworth dealer. end up just taking our clothes and shower bags and catch a ride with another driver to Black river Falls( heck of a nice guy btw and made a new friend at millis) and got # 18 in the series. An awful way to get a new truck but company did good by me every step of the way considering that other guy really screwed up my day.

    well let me see. to date i've had no issues that i'm aware of. I had to show proof of past insurability for my wife as she has a pre-existing condition(no it's not that she's dumb enough to keep me, lol!) ,if i had not she would have been uncovered for 12 mos. This is standard practice for ALL insurance companies, this is designed to prevent people from not paying premiums until they need/want coverage.

    my deductions are as follows:
    Family Inurance= $74.00 (family of 4+)
    Family Vision= $ 2.00
    Family Dental= $4.00
    Driver Short Term ( i think this benefit was only 1,200/month Disability = $2.99 cause new w/ less than year, is optional)

    HSA= $60.00 ( optional pre-tax deduction. i use this
    account to pay deductibles with before tax
    dollars)

    so that's what I know so far we have plenty of new bills but not sure how my deductible fits in just yet so letting my wife take care of that part, I just drive and put $ in HSA these days.

    Congrats on the new truck. Like you said not a great way to get one but you got one all the same. I'm glad no one was hurt. I'm sure that was a long frustrating day for you and your daughter.

    you can take your home time where ever u want no legal issues to deal with if thats what you were wondering
    allthough im sure your co. would have to be okay with where you park your truck whether its loaded or not
