[QUOTE="Moneyhungrytrucker, post: 12310772, member: 196915"]If only you knew me, I am looking at EVERYTHING. Work life balance and money is important. I consider all details before starting a new job. No stone goes unturned. I have questions that I ask that most people never would ask, some questions I ask seem very basic on the surface but I ask them for very specifc reasons. (below are a few examples of questions) Problem is I find most truckers dont think like me. Most truckers are more than happy to sell themselves short. The problem is further exacerbated by the amount of immagrants coming to the USA and getting into trucking, they are willing to work 60-70 hours a week for $1000 because in their mind $1000 is alot of money when converted to their home country currency. I have to compete agaist these foolish people. [LIST=1] [*]Find out any infomation you can on the health insurance plan. Does the company have a low deductible health plan, if not then are they paying more money for shifting the risk of health related costs onto you? If the health plan deductibles are high does the health plan qualify for a HSA account? [*]Find out what state the company is located in. Is the company located in a state that requires the company to have health insurance that covers weight loss surgery. [*]Does the company have 50 or more employees so I can have FMLA protections.
