    So apparently if you see any doctor, for anything, you have to have a release letter to go back to work, or so I was told today. What I fail to understand though is how you can expect to maintain any sort of medical privacy if that's the case. I only wish I knew of this earlier so I could have sent them pictures of my colonoscopy.

    That's how it is everywhere, though, not just Crete. It's DOT regulations.

    I've often wondered the same thing. HIPAA is incredibly strict about confidentiality. Yet when I was in orientation, they were asking a driver about some medical condition during a break right in front of others of us. It seemed to be a blatant violation.

    I've been with Crete twice and never done a driving test, sorry.

    Mine involved driving around and backing into a spot at the truck stop.

    After several days of getting up and goin' I sit here in Teays Valley T/A waiting....and waiting. It's the one thing I can't get used to. I have a 2130 delivery with the now oh so usual note of "Don't deliver early, even if they let you". I wonder what's really up with that? I mean if the cons says OK then:smt102 Why not? I also got my preplan to get me home. Kinston, NC to Commerce, TX. I'm debating on taking I40 and dealing with the mountain pass or take I20 and deal with Atlanta.

    Waiting never seems good to me. I always feel like I'm giving up something from my previous work or whatever. I never understood why there are many loads they don't want delivered early. Seems really strange when the Consignee is ready to take it. Sounds like you got a good pplan to get home. If I were doing that load the I-20 route would be my choice. Atlanta isn't usually that bad when just needing to go through on 20. Let's see...Mountains with the Gorge and Knoxville and Nashville vs. Atlanta. Very easy choice for me. Many other things factor in like fuel stop options, eating places and so on. I know a lot of places on both routes. Good luck with whatever you decide and Take care out there!
