Someone just told me that if I drive for US Xpress I'll have to pay tolls out of pocket in advance and then have to file with the company to get paid back is this true?

There may be some tolls you have to do that with, but not most. They should have EZ Pass and other toll beacons that automatically pay the tolls as you go through. You should always have some cash on you just in case, but very little should come out of pocket for tolls.

Kansas, Oklahoma and FL do not use EZ Pass. At prime we used to pay these...usually $32 or so, then get refunded. we could also.get an advance on our fuel card and write a check at a truckstop before hand.

simce then prime got a "Best Pass" which does those.

i would.imagine it is similar

Not to worry, Kristine, the larger companies are very quick to get your expenses into your next paycheck. You just stay on the ball in submitting them, they will make you whole again.

BMI:

Body mass index (BMI)

BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:

  • Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
  • Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit

It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.
