I may be wrong with this but I think with Crete's medical insurance I must pay the deductible first then 20% co-pay(mine would be $1500.00 deductible per year then 20% co-pay ) I would also need to pay $245.00 a month for this insurance. I would be paying a total of $4440.00($245.00 x 12 months=$2940.00+$1500.00 deductible =$4440.00) a year.

As I remember (it has been 6 weeks since I looked at it) It is $25 per week for an individual with a $500 per person annual deductible. $25 x 52 weeks = $1300 + $500 = $1800 out of pocket for the year. There is also a small co-pay. It seems like I am missing something :? Perhaps one of the other TMC guys who went through orientation more recently have more details.

I do know that health coverage is extremely important and I have been fortunate that I have been covered while working for the Fed and now my wife's plan. I would think that the co=pay would be competitve with other plans but don't know :?:

I drive for Crete and having a fair amount of experience with flatbeds I gotta say I don't see an advantage going that way when you can make just as much or more pulling a dry van. Who needs the headaches of tarping hen the wind is blowing hard and the temp is hovering near zero? Been there done that and it ain't worth it. Also going straight into flatbeds right out of school isn't the wisest choice IMHO. A rookie has enough to worry about without having to concern themselves with load securement et. al.
