Actually I turned it down, backed out. I went with Central Freight Lines near my house. It's about 6 miles from my house, laid back, and nice new equipment. I actually love it. I hope it was a good choice in the long run. If not, I'm gaining valuable experience.

He's likely happier than if he'd taken the FedEx gig. He also said he was gaining experience. Hopefully, since he's i still fairly young, he'll seek a position at UPS Freight, at the first opportunity. That is what's I'd do, if I was in his position.

I'm out of FTW myself, but I know little about the Line department. But I do know that on weekends they offer me .525 a mile to help out on road runs.

That would be the idea, sir. Unless of course you guys tell me how great it is at FXF in a year or two!

Maybe you don't want more or need more, but would you like to keep what you have? Are you familiar with Purchase Transportation?

Now, look at the numbers below. Do you see a trend? That trend will effect you. Just a matter of time.

Not bad at all.

The only big differences I see are a potential expensive Emergency room visit and if you are on a lot of expensive medications.

Those plans in the private sector would cost you a small fortune.

It's even better when compared to ours. For comparison, look at our "premium" (best) plan:






 
Looks like a straight 80/20 plan for the most part with no copays. That sucks, and I'm sorry, is that $700 a month for family benefits? If so, that's terrible.

What the hell does the "worst" plan cost/look like?

It's about $300/mo for family, including dental/vision.

The "lesser" plan, is almost the same, except it's 70/30 instead of 80/20.
And also this:

Annual Deductible
$2,250 individual, $4,500 family. All in-network services, excluding Primary Care services and prescription drug, apply to the in-network deductible.

Medical - Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum
$4,850 individual, $9,700 family. Includes deductible. All coinsurance, excluding prescription drug, applies to the out-of-pocket maximum. No cross accumulation between in-network and out-of-network.
