    And....with the LTD and STD, drivers only get 50% of their pay and non-drivers get 60%. WTHFS??????????
    I swear these people have no clue. Screw the employees, we (the company) don’t want to pay one dime more than we absolutely have to.

    Often it’s cheaper to go outside your company for disability insurance.
    I went outside my company and for the same cost I got $1300 a week LTD that pays lifetime if I can’t return my present occupation. It’s called same occupation disability
     
    RebelChick and Nateman482 Thank this.

    Looked that up. So many choices! Thanks for that information.

    It’s stupid the prices Abilene is charging the driver vs. what the non-driver pays. On STD alone, non-driver .98 per $100, driver $1.58 per $100.

    It's more than likely based on probability of use and prices set accordingly, just like most, if not all forms of insurance.

    Yup... a paper cut doesn’t take you out of the game.
