I’ve seen on YT a driver complaining about being stopped almost every time crossing the boarder( I think it was Windsor/Detroit one) and every time being held for 4 - 5 hrs having his load and docs checked, so I thought that was bad.
5 - 10 mins is not bad at all. -
Health care
I’ve never been a fan of private healthcare, but seeing how underfunded NHS is and from what I can see the same story is with the Canadian equivalent, as waiting times involved to have anything done or to see a specialist I’m starting to wonder maybe Yanks have it better with their private health care, as from what I read an average monthly contribution is jus over usd 300, so I thought that was manageable if in exchange you could get an efficient and reliable healthcare.
If, as you are saying Robinhood, when you get seriously ill, say cancer, and you are left alone by the healthcare provider you’ve been paying monthly contribution for so many years, why would people bother paying anything in at all?
Few other questions if you don’t mind chaps
How is it sleeping at truck stops, are these truck stops noisier than UK’s services are?
I’ve heard you need to idle overnight to keep warm, so I guess it must be noisy.
Do companies allow drivers to idle overnight, due to cost of fuel being used?
What about night heaters, are there any?
Do you get paid any nights out money for sleeping in the truck?
Do you need to pay for parking at truck stops, do you get any meal vouchers?
Thanks
