Ours will go up in premiums about 40 percent. Most due to covering items we wouldn't even use, like mental health, pregnancy, services for children and the list goes on. We carry a high deductible but we use that in concert with a HSA plan that I have had since 04.

Personally, I take all the insurance regardless of what it is for and dump it in one big pot. In otherwords, what is my costs and exposure for pretty much everything.

You will have some limitations if say you are doing a team with two different people. You are correct in that I don't hire people in that pool but there are some that do and have a truck with two beds. All of our trucks are more of a custom variety and have one large bed instead of two. Some...

Quite a few (not all) will take a new team on and pay them the same as the experienced. I am talking specifically expediting. Solos....not so much. Based on your information, probably better off with a decent smaller fleet owner that can pay them more and give them better individual attention...

If your revenue increased as suggested, and the only difference is whether they would call to confirm whether a load was good, wouldn't that appear to be taking advantage of the new folks and paying them less?

Wait until you add the cost of Obamacare in there.

Speaking of the Tea Party, seen this gem today. One of those "not likely to see on MSNBC" IRS pays illegal immigrants $4.2 billion while stalling Tea Parties | Fox News

I don't question for a minute your friends struggles and I think that was the case for many and still might be. The sixty minute story was based on such a huge upswing this year on approved applicants. Many are bogus claims and many are using it as a vehicle for income when unemployment runs...

Not knowing anything about ES, how do they pay .48 per mile at the Fed? That is 40 percent of only 1.20. I thought the Fed paid much better than that? Maybe not?

So...less government spending....you want more? Lower taxes on business....you want business taxed more? Less regulation, but you want more? Smaller government, and you want larger government? Certainly see a difference.

Disability is roughly six months according to sixty minutes report last week. That is using a disability attoney that can move a case quick with their own doctors. That was the whole premise of the story. With regards to welfare, Fox did an hour show on a guy from Los ANgeles where they...

Unemployment yes...you paid in to it. Most that have a lifestyle of welfare, not so much. That is why I personally think there should be a limit on the amount of benefits drawn. Is it hard to to apply for benefits you aren't entitled to? Easy peasy thanks to Obama. Now there are no checks, no...

That may be the case for many. Not so much this year because you are at $95.00 a person or one percent which ever is greater. As those dollar amounts and percentage climb every year is where you will see the problems.

Someone has to pay for the free stuff the 47 percent get. You are gonna have to start selling those boats and guns. Anything less than that mean "you aren't doing your fair share".:D

They say "they lost 61 million". I think they know where it really is but don't want to say. They have overspent everywhere and will have to continue to do so for the plan to continue. Just heard today that if they can't get their web site up and running, they will have to expand call centers...

More of a socialist plan but we are halfway there here in the US> We don't per se have income limitations, but we do have "unconditional income". We just happen to call it government assistance or welfare.

You are currently seeing only the bargain rates at this point. What people are currently seeing is considerably higher than previously thought. People are just now starting to see that reality. What did Obama say last week? "We need to get immigration back on track". They still have the goal...

Just an observation. The husband wants to know if he is working harder than the wife. :cool: Can't win an argument without the numbers. :D
