[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1015353, member: 22880"] Students and those whose "real job" provides the real income, but doesn't have health insurance included as a part of it - will be the norm. I did it as a returning student (after finding out Express wasn't what I read about), and it worked out well for me. I knew many who did it solely for the insurance. They managed to do it for a couple of years, but the inevitable inflexibility of the job resulted in their quitting and paying for a health insurance plan out of pocket (or getting their spouse into a job with benefits). You hit the nail on the head with regard "won't be around for it" - the whole plan is to have as many career Couriers leave (one way or another) and replace them with students or individuals that need just the health insurance. With DRA providing maps with the stops identified with a prominent "dot" and a number (first stop at the number 1, then the number 2....), most anyone can do the job. DRA will even have stop ordering provided on those little yellow tags, so ANYONE can pull freight (as they do now), then place the truck in stop order without actually looking at a single address - they'll only look at the stop ordering indicated by the ROADS label.
