[QUOTE="Steelheader, post: 174322, member: 1814"] I think it just depends really. It's 30 WORKING days on TAW. I know, I've been on it 3 times (all with same injury). I fell through a porch making a delivery. Blew out 8 discs in my back and did some good damage to my shoulder as well. Funny though, last time I was on TAW, I was on it for almost 6 MONTHS!!!! Never knew there was a limit (think last two times I was on, was about 2 months each). It wasn't until the DOT took away my DOT card (during my physical, I disclosed I was on prescribed narcotics for injury) I was immediately told my TAW was over (I couldn't shuttle packages anymore). So really think it depends on the center and who's making the rules at the time. I know now they push the 30 working days, and are saying "It's never been more then 30 working days". But I know when I went out, and when I went off to workers comp. Started on my daughters birthday (August) and went out at Valentines day (Feb). So I'd say it's over 30 working days. LOL. Will say it was nice though. Had all my bennies and my standard check everyweek. BUT, for those saying "why wouldn't you want to be on TAW". When you're in pain, nothing worse then having to sit in an office. Day goes by slow and hard to get comfortable. I fealt much better and wasn't as depressed when I was finally sent home. [/QUOTE]
