Howdy everyone! I’ve been solo for a little over 6 months with Swift, and honestly, they have been good to me, I’m making 0.65¢ pm right now, regional, and I’d gladly stay with them for the full year, or even longer, but the problem is the insurance, I’m a type 1 diabetic, and the insurance is ballooning to about 800 a month next year, I know a lot of companies have there insurance costs ballooning, but doing the math id be making more at a company doing the same miles every week for like 40¢ per mile if I could get insurance under 300 a month. What I’m asking is, what companies would take me with less than a year? Crete liked me, but they want a full year solo, I’ve got till March (when my COBRA from previous job, which is somehow cheaper then Swifts current insurance runs out) at which point I WILL have a full year. Should I just apply with my experience and see what I can get? I’m based out of NY, but I really only need to get home once a month to get insulin, and I’m happy to be on the road as long as possible, and I’d prefer not to drive teams if at all possible. Any advice is appreciated, thank you, and Merry Christmas
