    ok for all there drivers who have family . they have decided they will not insure anyones wife or hubby who has a job that offers them insurance. so in other words if u are married and your wife/hubby has insurance with there company they will no longer be insured by mcleod express.

    sure doesnt seem fair or even legal.. let me know what u think.. seems like a good reason to stay away even further.. sadly i work there.. but not for much longer.. :biggrin_25510:

    If that's the case then Mcleod be prepared to lose a lot of drivers.The majority in this industry does have a family and depend on insurance.The thing they look at first before applying is what kind of health insurance they have to offer.

    It cost more to insure a working spouse at Trimac but they still offer coverage.

    Many companies are doing that. If the spouse has insurance available, then the company will not provide insurance to the spouse.

    Insurance companies have been doing that for years.
