I'm so glad. It is always a joy to see folks really understand and run their operation as a business. So many don't, and you can really hear some horror stories. Keep on rock'in! Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

I was kidding on your three lefts. If you are a sole proprieter or your wife is, then it could be used assuming she doesn't already have a plan. I believe this has been available for several years but most people aren't aware of it. The good news is neither one of us has a bio that claims we...

I think you are right. You do have to factor your equipment costs. I not sure what she is thinking telling you not to consider it. While your figures may or may not be applicable, some items like insurance, permits, licensing, and maybe QC charges aren't listed. I'm not sure if that is included...

opps.....you made three lefts. http://personal.fidelity.com/products/retirement/getstart/newacc/keogh.shtml.cvsr Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

It can be hard to put numbers out there without all of the information. Total gross revenue means little unless you know the costs of operating to get to that number. You could easily gross $150,000 and be a broke operation. There is a whole list of items that will affect the bottom line. Always...

Bush was talking about using some of this technology when he was on the west coast a couple of months ago. I'm just starting to learn alittle about it. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Glad your running well. We have one of our trucks that got to LA last night. Got a load this morning going to MO. Be careful on 10 if it is still flooded around El Paso. It was closed yesterday in spots. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Rich, Your last sentence says it all. Simple, but hard to follow for many. Even more so if you are a self proclaimed financial planner. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: would Anyone buy a sleeper made by the guys Fr DaveM I am working on your pictures. I have them resized, but getting a error message. I will work on them alittle and see what happens.. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

Tec1959 is correct. 401k plans are for employees, not self-employed people. In a previous career I worked with certain employers, plan administrators and plan participants to set up defined contribution and defined benefit plans and the underlying investment vehicles...

RE: would Anyone buy a sleeper made by the guys Fr Yes. They take the factory sleeper and convert them. ICT,ARI, Double Eagle, and I believe AA still does them. As mentioned, it is a service they do but I don't think any do it on a large scale. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

It was right on the paperwork. One was a pallet of gloves for Home Depot. Never been to Home Depot with Panther until they did that load. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

The great advantage of the 401k to the self employed is that you can invest in one and still max out your Roth. I agree, Dave Ramsey is a good source for some of this information. Bruce Williams touches on these topics from time to time as well. He seems to concentrate on real estate just...

Hard to tell for us after just a week. Our trucks so far have done two Conway loads. One 300 miler on Sunday, and one 1,000 miler from AL to WI. Total milage per unit per week is slightly ahead of last year, but I don't think the Conway sale changed it one way or the other. Locations was likely...

Assuming as Gregg mentioned, that there isn't a o-ring failure, call your dealer with your serial number. They can tell you what it is suppose to have (how many pounds) according to specs. It should blow around 60 degrees at the vent. Make sure also that your heater control valve has shut off...

IRA is a tax deferred investment or savings plan. I would highly recommmend one look into these as they are a great savings and investment tool. 401K's are now available to the self employed as well with some differences if compared to a 401k company sponsored plan. A google search on both will...

They did a great presentation for the EO breakfast. I thought they had a excellent business model. Outside of that, I have no direct experience with them, but they have some great folks in their operations. You can do a search on them in the archives here at EO, and you will get alot of...

RE: would Anyone buy a sleeper made by the guys Fr I think it would be great. There are a few that do it, but not on any kind of grand scale. Davekc owner 22 years PantherII EO moderator

401K contribution amounts are based on earnings, while a IRA is a set amount. I quess some would depend on a person or teams ability to save and at what amounts. Both have different tax strategies depending on how they are used. In many instances, some think of the 401k as a company sponsored...
