Bruno is correct in his statement. In the broad interpretation the IRS can stack it against you. All the attorneys with advice on line said nearly the same thing: No black and white rules clearly label any given scenario. However, indicators of the degree of control can be found. The IRS...

You are correct. This is a "Love Fest" for the lowest common denominator. Be thankful you're not one of them. Just look at this thread and how quickly it went south and by who. The sorry part is that they don't even know who they are (and there in lies the tragedy).

And my point is made is as little as 8 post replies! This is too easy!

"The Law of Morons". Put a group of very intelligent, well meaning people in a room together, put them on a committee or some governmental body that is devoid of guiding principles or merit-based decision making and "The Law of Morons" will prevail. The collective IQ will drop to the smallest...

fastrod??? are you sure it's not slowrod? You are a moron!

This has got to be one of the most ignorant posts I have read. Has this guy been in our industry long? This is the kind of trucker that gives trucking a bad name. Leaving trash pallets off on 3rd party docks??? Using someone elses dumpster without paying??? Are you nucking futs??? This...

This is what gets me.... ignorant idiots who "reply" to a post... and then suggest it is not worth replying to. Thanks for the reply! :)

Are you simple??? I can dispose a pallet anytime, anywhere, for anyone I chose. That is germane to being an independent contractor. We are still back to the real question: Why would you do this free of charge? What will your investment of this service net you? What equation do you use...

There are way too many drivers and too few contractors in this industry! YOU MUST BE JUST A DRIVER. Stay with me now. This may be a bit over your collective heads and I usually collect a consultant fee for what I am about to disclose unless I place this in the "rhetorical" category. SOMEONE...

This may be hard for you to understand. We don't speak the same language. You use words and phrases out of context to their accepted meanings in business. Customer service is not the same as the service/product we offer.. It is how we handle the selling. Removing a pallet falls under what we...

I don't know Phil. We have never met. But as it happens, we refer to ourselves as the "B" Team. I get really tired of these so called "professional drivers" who think you have to "pay your dues" before you too can be one of the "ignorant" oh wait.. that was my word. This isn't brain surgery...

My truck was NOT paid for that extra service. When I accepted the load it based on an understanding of what work was involved. Further, It would be highly unprofessional to give away a service to some randomly, while charging other customers for the same extra service, simply because they...

There is nothing unprofessional about charging for your time and the use of your truck and equipment. Last time I checked, I was in this for the money. I can't count how many times I have been expected to use my equipment by the customer, at no charge to the customer, simply because it was...

Well.... It all depends.... What gross to you plan on licensing for? Are you looking at a class 7 or 8 truck? Leaf or air-ride? Solo or team? New or used? Factory or cut and splice? Paper or plastic? Lots of related stuff to consider.

Sorry for the delay... I paid $390 for an inner spring mattress 10" x 42"x75 made to the size I asked for. Sleep Tite Mattress Factory And Showroom 800-859-3703 I delt with Rusty. They are at : 303 Conover Dr Franklin, OH
