    No driver...sounds like he has compassion for someone besides himself. I too,do this. If I know their policies ..as in how they treat their employees,I base my trading decisions on that. I seek out this info before I make big ticket items also. I can't possibly find ALL the info on everything I buy,but I try to do my part. ( karma)

    I think he meant cut hours. Several companies are doing this to get around the new insurance laws.

    Swift gave me a hard time over Tramadol and Flexeril stating it is a schedule 1 drug and infact it is a schedule 4 meaning I could still drive on it with a doctors note. But according to Swift DOT and FMCSA states I can not but they can't furnish proof and since then I have passed my DOT Physical and work for my current employer with said doctors note

    Actually, patty, I think they finally patched things up. It was really stupid. Don't know which one finally decided that the other one had a bigger wee wee.:biggrin_25513:

    I would get into a network pharmacy like walmart #1 they are nation wide #2 the lots are usually big enough to get a truck in all you have to do is call your regular walmart pharmacy and have them forward the perscription onto the closest walmart to your current location

    Also, if it's a stable medication ask your doctor to write 90 day prescriptions with 4 refills (one years worth). I know some need monitoring, but if yours can be annual, simplifies life a great deal.
