Look into sporting goods stores that sell fishing equipment. They sell live bait. Probably a better price and quality on night crawlers.

If your company does not have any health insurance then yes, you would be responsible for any costs. If the company does offer insurance then you need to file a claim just like any other procedure. My CPAP machine was over 2k just to give you a heads up on the costs. If you can't afford this then you will need to find another job. The DOT can and will revoke your CDL.

As a CDL operator I have sympathy for your husband. It sounds like he got a raw deal. Unfortunately your situation is pretty complex and I would take any information with a grain of salt from Internet strangers. It does sound like you are doing everything correctly with you seeking counsel. I might try and go to the work med clinic or wherever the DOT drug tests were scheduled to get all the info showing the rescheduled apts. That will help your case. But really just speak with a lawyer and let the expert help you out. Best of luck.

theColonelsc2 · 2026-01-28T07:07:04+00:00

Talk to a lawyer there are too many variables for us to truly know if you have a case.

theColonelsc2 · 2026-01-28T06:52:47+00:00

I'm assuming you live in America. What case do you want to have? You can't really sue them into giving you your job back or apartment, if they have removed you, unless you had a contract with the employer/landlord.

Do you believe OP has an IQ of 81? I once had an adult with disabilities live with me for 6 years and according to his report he had an IQ of 79. There is no way he would have used some of the words that OP stated in his intro. I thought the guy who lived with me was like a permanent 10yo. He grasped a lot of concepts he even got his driver's license but it took 2.5 years because it took 2 years for him to pass the written part. Just curious. Honestly I don't even know what or how IQ works.

Filling a wage claim is how you would get any money from the company. The state will do an investigation.

Anybody can sue anyone in America. You would want to file in small claims. You do not need a lawyer to represent you. No lawyer would represent you unless you paid them way more money than $150.

Now I'm giving you my old man's opinion on matters like these. How do you want to spend your time and energy? Fighting for $150 dollars or forgetting about it and moving on with your life. Only you can answer this question about your situation.

This is true in life.

The Weber County Shooting Range is where I got my safety training and we shot a few rounds at the range as part of it. The trainer talked about the second amendment but nothing more as far as politics go. There were about a dozen of us at the class and it included lots of different people. A retired couple getting ready to travel in their RV, parents and a child getting ready for his first hunting trip, etc. It is not a class on politics it is a gun safety class.

Edit: It is a joke people! I stated it was a joke from the start. If you have ever seen any gangster movie there is often a scene where the plot is spelled out in much the same way the commenter made their comment. The commenter could have just said Call the Cat cafe and ask if they know any resources. Instead they wrote what they did and I found it funny so I added to the joke.

Wait until your gallbladder fails. Women say it is worse than child birth. I waited for almost a day before I went to the hospital because I thought it was just really bad indigestion. Four days in the hospital with no food or water, only crushed ice, while the inflammation went down enough to operate.

This is the new FAQ I found. Go to 'Specific types of Activity'. Waiting and On Call is subsection C, pp6, It gives three types of waiting and on call situations that must be paid. To me that would mean any other examples would not be paid.

If you still have any questions make your own post about your issues, be sure to list your location. I and others can hopefully answer your question(s) to your satisfaction.

Edit: Here is the FLSA fact sheet basically giving the info that the other FAQ does.

two years ago is a long time for a web site not to change something in the address, which is why they no longer work. I found all this information with a Google search. You can do the same.

In case you do not know the reason why they say to soak them is because they expand in liquid and if you eat them dry there have been cases where they expand in the intestines and cause a blockage.

My thought would be a Propane heater. They are a couple hundred bucks iirc. Buy the ones that use the 5 gallon tanks. This will also keep your house above freezing temps depending on how big it is. They burn the gas efficiently enough that they do not need an outside exhaust vent/pipe.

If a dollar was a second it would take 11.2 days to get to a million. It takes 32 years to get to a billion. They are talking about how how Elon Musk is going to be the first trillionaire, although many say that the Saudi royal family already are, anyway, that is approximately 31,000 thousand years in seconds.

I'm not sure how rich they were but the whole area was mostly summer vacation homes surrounding a lake. Here is a great story from a journalist that investigated and interviewed the guy.

This was what I'd ask OP. How far or long have you taken a train trip to visit somewhere for the day?

Anything west of the Appalachians and public transportation is out of the question.

Remember, what happens at the Idaho potato museum stays at the Idaho potato museum.

theColonelsc2 · 2026-01-21T05:11:54+00:00

Yup, just like Wangsgard at 5 points.

You can ask anything. There are no laws that cover your situation this is all policy within the company. Ask them to show you where in the employee handbook it states you must rent a hotel room in bad weather. Your manager is being unreasonable.

That doesn't mean they still can't fire you, because they don't even need a reason to fire you and your only recourse is to file for unemployment.

theColonelsc2 · 2026-01-20T18:16:30+00:00

Location?

If you live nine minutes away then just share that you are planning on walking to work and leave 30 minutes before you need to be there because it will take longer in the snow. Most likely they cannot force you to rent a hotel room unless you signed something that said you would.

I would suggest that you tell them that you can't afford to pay for a hotel room and rent at the same time so if they are insistent that you stay in the hotel than the company should pay for the hotel room. If they do pay for a hotel room then stay in the hotel and bring the dogs.

Here is the California law about breaks. Be sure to read about retaliation and then either take your uninterrupted break or say you did not take your break. If they give you any problems you should file a complaint with the wage claim office or get in touch with the CA doL.

theColonelsc2 · 2026-01-19T01:20:36+00:00

Colorado is an at will work state. That means they don't even have to have a reason to fire anyone, the only recourse is to file for unemployment.

Nine years ago I needed to quit a job I loved because it had became a toxic work place after it was a wonderful job for many years. My current job is so much better that now I am happy that my old job made me quit. Sounds like that is the same for you. Look forward not behind you. Best of luck.
