Trans Am Still

ok-dumb question-but if i pay for parking at a truck lot or warehouse ect ect or get permission to do so -is that a safe place? guess ill go over this with my DM but hope this wont make me look bad if i know before hand what im doing lol-the two prior companies i worked for were based in chicago so i parked in their lot-also what is a DAC ? i know what a MVR is of course but have no clue what a DAC could be

 

They have never had a vision plan.....so no glasses. They do have a dental plan and as far as I can tell it did not change, however it is an add on through a regular insurance company. TransAm is self-insured....so it has never been your basic health care insurance but had always paid with very little hassle. Now it does nothing more than satisfy the most basic requirements of the ACA.....and uses every loophole in the law to skirt it as much as possible. Not worth the cost of the premiums.

 

Welcome to the thread chismi. Paying for a safe parking space would be fine with TransAm. The King used to leave his trailer at the empty lot by the police station in our small town and then bring the truck home. The first time he did that he got a phone call about it because the tractor was one place and the trailer was somewhere else but it was no problem from that point on.

My husband was a company driver for close to 4 years before he went with a smaller company. Much has changed in the year that he has been gone. Pete, Panhandle and I are the Ghosts of TransAm Past. We just hang around here because no one else will have us! At the bottom of my posts you will see an address for our blog for TransAm drivers. I haven't updated it in awhile but it still has a lot of good information on it.

 

They have a list of items that must be turned in when you turn in your truck......the handbook is on that list so getting a copy would be difficult. However......the Queen has several .....if I can remember which box I put them in.

Driver Tip: Avoid I 20 westbound in MS between Jackson and Vicksburg M4. Back up for miles traffic at a stop and go. -Anthony
