    The boss has all legal insurance.
    ( workman comp and such) but did tell me upfront carrying my own health insurance would be cheaper than what he can offer. No problem with me. I just pay the fine at the end of the year. But my wife is covered from head to toe

    I'm guessing you wouldn't meet the qualifications anyhow.

    I'm a company driver, a W2 employee, good benefits, and a very good company. And I dont drive junk. And for the most part, work a normal schedule. It works for me. And I make 6 digits the last 3 years here.

    Snapchat-1075875247.jpg I haul chlorine, sulfuric acid, caustic soda, propane, anhydrous ammonia, hydrochloric acid, bleach, glycol, KOH, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, various oilfield chemicals, motor oil, urea, DEF, diesel fuel, gasoline. We are a small 20 truck outfit with about 60 different tankers, a few vans, I work average 60 hours per week, sometimes more, sometimes less, depends on the time of the year. November and December when propane was hot and heavy running HOS exemption, I ran 70 plus a week, but that was my decision. I get vacation when I want, my days off are a little variable, but I'm ok with that. Year end bonus was 3800 before taxes. So tack that on and it was a 115k year.
