    Health insurance recommendation??

    My wife and I are covered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan. Coverage is nowhere near what I used to have as a state employee, but theirs isn't that great anymore, either. We pay $460/month for an 80/20 after a $2500 deductible. Had emergency surgery on the road last year, and it definitely...

    Firestone vs. Michelin

    Yes, you are missing something: you assumed the beginning tread depth was identical. Can't arrive at a solid conclusion with unknowns. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Flat Rate vs. Percentage Pay

    Exactly. Way too many variables to make that comparison. While I'm sure the intent was noble, I believe that spreadsheet muddies the water even further for a new team. And Linda has it right. Not many surface teams averaging $1.80/mile. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    is fedexcc who I should be with?

    Are you on the flat rate program? If so, you're getting that rate for all authorized miles, loaded and empty. Further, it makes Dave's "all in" response skewed. From what he's reported here, the program is working well for jjoerger. Only you know your costs, and your expected profit. If you...

    Mine was only one day, Moose, and I suspect it was equal to your second day. As a native Western New Yorker, Cheri, we did the same in driver's ed. At the skid pad, as my wife and I each have our class A's, we got to jackknife a tractor and semi-trailer and recover from it. We had a great...

    Tax Information for 2011

    You can prove what days you're out with logbooks (don't know what you drive ...van or truck). If you really are an employee, your per diem is claimed on Schedule A as an itemized deduction. If you're a contractor, it's on Schedule C. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Mrs. O's "Shared Sacrifice".....

    Well, as a bomb dog handler in the European theater in the 80's, I was assigned to a VIP support team for any travels in Europe (except the UK) for the Secret Service and State Department. While I'm sure that I still have the credentials showing my certifications, I'm not real certain I kept...

    Mrs. O's "Shared Sacrifice".....

    Sorry to disappoint, Diva. I have real-world experience to back up my statements. They're not assumptions or something I read. I'm not incorrect. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Mrs. O's "Shared Sacrifice".....

    Your anger should lie with the Secret Service, Diva. It's their call that the president and first lady travel separately. In a motorcade, for example, the "Mrs. limo" is usually three vehicles away from the president's. Been going that way for decades. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Carrier Appearal Question; Removing Old Logos

    Steaks sound great. The solution to your apparel problem is applique. The field required to cover that logo is much too large for just embroidery. Not saying that just embroidery alone, but embroidered are paid by stitch count.....it would cost a small fortune. Regarding the applique, I...
