The paradigm shift I was referring to (sorry can't help throwing this out here) is to find a job that makes you enough for you to get your own insurance, and not rely on your company to get it for ya. The companies that provide insurance know they got ya over a barrel cuz they know you need the insurance and you wind up dealin with a crap show like zoomie and HC. The outfit I found (after lookin HARD) makes me enough money that I can buy insurance for the whole family and I don't have to deal with said crap show. Plus I get to decide where and how I run, home time, all that happy stuff.
I'm SO not sayin 'look at me I'm successful!' Cuz believe you me I aint. Just sayin there's other ways to get what you needs for you n yours![]()
I'm baaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Scotty, I hear ya.
Gereke, spot on.
This is a (major) bump in the road, but by no means insurmountable.
Insurance rules the universe. And the companies know it. Insurance and medical care has become so horrifically expensive that with our medical conditions The hot Chick and I absolutely have to adapt to this environment. Otherwise I'd just lease a freaking truck from a smaller company that isn't Risinger Brothers. (Okay, that was unfair to the company as a whole; their "safety" guy getting his panties in a wad because I was leaving doesn't make them a bad company overall--it just means one man got vindictive and hurt me)
Heck, I'd even lease from Quality with their new load board and percentage pay. But the option is out of my hands right now regardless of what I or anyone else thinks.
So we have a rough few days or a week. Not the end of the world. Just extremely annoying.scottlav46 Thanks this. -

Dear insomniacs, take 2 cookies with warm milk and post in the morning.

I decided against the cookies and warm milk, had cake and coffee instead!
TB John and scottlav46 Thank this. -
You kind of went in the opposite direction, there....
scottlav46 Thanks this. -
Hmmmm, and here I just slept 10 straight hrs. I find myself coherent (somewhat), and able to think (not saying much
).
The system the feds have is called the Data Q. For some reason, I have stuck in my brain, only companies can actually use it and not a driver.
