    New owner questions

    H&R Block but the person that did them is someone that knows trucks and has done them in the past for me. The only deductions I had this year were per diem, entertainment, tools, gloves, and tolls since I drive another person's truck now.

    You will want to be prepared with your tax money and keep around 10-15% in an account to pay at the end of the year. I ended up with a tax bill of almost $6k between income, Social Security, Medicare, self employment, and state taxes. You will now be responsible for 100% of your Social Security...

    April locations, but I won't promise spring!

    Just north of Nogales, AZ at the Pilot and I can't wait to be done with this load. It has been one problem after another.

    No cold a/c

    A big mistake people make is buying the R134a with oil in it which over fills the system with oil which doesn't leave enough room for refrigerant.

    Good news!

    Some people don't know how to react when something embarrassing happens to someone else, I find it easier to laugh than come up with something to comfort them.

    The $12 showers

    I have stopped people I see getting ready to pay for showers and give them one. My showers don't expire at the TA/Petro and I frequently have to purchase 75 gallons at a time to keep weight off of my steer axle so I will fuel 2 times a day.

    On the right track?

    If you are a solo then class A is the better route, a same household team can do well with either.

    Homofascism on the rise

    That's what kills me about so many of the Tea Party groups I follow on Facebook. If you want the government out of our lives then you had better not be supporting the government getting involved in things like who marries who. Then you have the liberals supporting the government getting involved...

    Super Truck

    The new trucks that have finally overcome the initial loss the older EGR trucks had can achieve much better fuel mileage. MVT's top drivers can hit the 10mpg mark due to the large amount of money invested in the trucks and trailers but it just is not a reality for the industry. The money has...

    Super Truck

    The driver seems to be watching an instant read mpg gauge, 8.5 normally but 11 when coasting down hill. If the driver is giving an answer with a 35% margin of error it means he has no idea of what the real average is and as a company driver likely doesn't care.

    What fuel saving measures has Ozark taken? Sideskirts? Are you governed at 63? APU?

    Super Truck

    You have to remember the decrease of 1mpg that came with the EGR. I was getting over 7mpg running 70mph, the truck was an '01 Freightliner. Right now I am driving an '05 Freightliner and at 65 it gets about 6mpg. As the technology improves some of the lost fuel mileage is coming back but 8mpg is...

    Finally a judge with common sense..

    This should have happened as soon as the pill was introduced and known to be safe.
