Trucking and dental work ?
I want to start my trucking career in the next month or so, my problem is I just had a few dental problems pop up in the past month. My question is how hard is it to get dental work done while employed with a trucking company ?
I have a job now but the benefits dont kick in for two more months, should I stay on the job I have and get the work done ? I was really hoping to kick this trucking thing off this spring. The dental work isnt serious a ed tooth and just feeling a little pain in the lower jaw that comes and goes. crst offers a 20/10 program where you are out 20 straight days and 10 days off and the benefits begin on the first day of your actual hire. What would you do ?

Like anything else it is something you have to plan for.
You should talk to your dentist about the work you need done, especially about post procedure care. If you are going to be on a heavy duty pain killer for a day or three it is something you will need to plan for and work out with your company several weeks in advance.
