    I have all 3 on my daughter and I .
    I haven’t used any of them yet but my daughter used the dental insurance a few weeks ago on getting her wisdom teeth removed and FCC insurance saved us around 700 dollars compared to what the bill was going to be with my old employee

    You in the southwest regional division or is south central. I’ve heard it called both. If so how do you like it? I was slated for orientation next week. But had a death in family on my wife’s side. Called them today to tell them. They told me just call them when I’m ready.
     
    Crusader66 Thanks this.

    At FCC headquarters on a 34. Hooked to my load to Four Oaks NC. Will pull out tomorrow nite at supper time since its not due until Tues afternoon until midnite. Attended my first safety meeting in ten months here. Watched some videos talked about safety issues such as jumping out of your truck. Did you know you put 2046 lbs of force jumping from the top step of your truck or your trailer too (275 lb human being)? Kinda neat presentation. Fruit pizza, donuts, some fresh fruit served. Only five or six showed, but made it casual and engaging.
    My two stopper to Iowa/ Nebraska was meseed up as the load order was reversed. The shipper loaded product from two different plants. When I got to Iowa, their stuff was in the nose. Can't blame them for not unloading Valleys to get to theirs and putting Valleys back in. So off I went and dropped the trailer in Valley NE and brought an empty to Fremont. After a 4600 mile paycheck, back down to earth with a 2100 week. Again alot of that 4600 would have gone on the previous week but you don't get paid until you deliver

    Decided against the 34. Will be rolling in the morning. The 4 1/2 hours I didn't use today will help out Tuesday when I have another 4 hour day. 8's 9's and 10's next week. That'll get me home on Thursday. Actually made running recap work.

    Got empty in Mason City and bounced down to Des Moines live loaded a short run going to Columbus, Nebraska for this morning. My next load is loading in Omaha going to Pembroke Pines, Florida for Friday morning. I went by the shipper and the load wasn’t loaded yet, so I came over to the Council Bluffs yard to do some laundry, the shipper will call when the load is ready.

    Got mt about 10am yesterday in omaha. Next load was bellevue to garland tx by 10am today. Hooked to my preloaded trl and found a flat drive tire. Spent 5 hrs at TA in council bluffs getting it replaced. Since my drives will need replacing in 6 months i decided to go with a used tire. By that time there was no way i could make my appt ontime. Made it down to topeka today b4 they told me to take it to the kc drop yard. Guess petco wont take it til the 20th. Grabbed an mt and dropping it in lawrence for a load to fremont. May drop that tonite then head over to the yard.
