    In this biz, you lose some of the luxuries you have when working at the local warehouse in town. So being on the road 1500 mi from home isn't always so easy to get to the doc. What is the appt for ? Yeah, I know, private info blah blah blah. You just have to be lucky enough to work for a understanding co. I mean, how many drivers need to "get home" for an appointment ? Your friendly dispatcher says, "I have loads to move" and he's just not that quick to accomidate the drivers. Consider an urgent care facility as an option.
