    Team Needed-Paid on W-2- Good or Bad ?

    Just think if the driver gets ****ed at the owner he just needs to complain to the IRS and the company would be on the hook for employer back taxes, since the driver is a employee.

    CARB sued by OOIDA (Finally)

    As for speed limits, that has nothing to do with the legal equipment on a vehicle. California has no legal right to deny anyone from entering the state just because that vehicle doesn't meet their smog rules. No diesel vehicle from another state is required to have California smog systems...

    Unmarked white cargo van...profiling?
