    Per Diem For Schedule C Filers

    Greetings David, if I may be Frank with you (in reality I'm Moot) I use Schedule C and under line 24 you will find sub-lines a, b, c,and d. Line 24 b is the meal deduction. You should be filling out a Schedule C every year as that is where the business deductions can be found. Remember...

    Question about load weight.

    There's plenty of confusion about this. Much of it being introduced by you. The original poster wanted info on cargo vans and weight. If you have modified a cargo van to exceed the manufacturer's GVWR please explain the modifications you made and the legal process involved in changing the...

    Question about load weight.

    Thank you Greg! I didn't have time to get into this any further because I had to grill some pizzas and then eat them. I own a Chevrolet 3500 cargo van. The GVWR is 9600 pounds. That is the maximum gross weight as rated by the manufacturer. This van is plated in the state of Minnesota. My...

    Dispatcher03 ???

    Just the mention of dispatcher03 in a thread gets it relegated to the cellar.

    Question about load weight.

    039 you are intermixing GVWR, GCWR, state vehicle weight registration, vans, trailers, class 8 trucks and BIT inspections into a confusing mess.

    Question about load weight.

    Yeah, perhaps I do. It's just the mixing of apples, mangoes and doughnuts that has me confused. So you stated in a previous post. Add wings and a propeller and it may even fly. I think I now know what you are getting at but it still seems like an apples and oranges thing. The inclusion of...

    Call for Fox News to drop Glenn Beck

    Wow! If I wrote the above response as a parody of the classic liberal mindset, it wouldn't work because it would be considered way over the top. This is a textbook example of liberalism run amok. Liberal Guy interjects himself into a thread for the sole purpose of spreading his agenda...

    Dispatcher03 ???

    Nobody knows for sure. Could have been black helicopters in the middle of the night. Possible alien abduction. Or maybe the powers that be, banished him to a cornfield. I did receive a postcard from him today with this picture, a Laredo, TX postmark and a cryptic message: mi casa, yur asa...

    Question about load weight.

    You really don't believe that do you? I don't know what a super duty is but I believe an E-350 has GVWR of 9500 pounds. My calculator shows that doubling the GVWR of 9500# equals 19,000 pounds. Assuming a long box E-350 leaves the factory weighing in at 6000# you are claiming that this van...

    Inconsiderate van parking-why?

    Not only are these people inconsiderate, they are also idiots! Like Xiggy facetiously pointed out: "Gets a little noisy trying to sleep when the bars let out.." Why park and try to sleep where the most noise is generated. Cars coming and going, doors slamming, stereos thumping, crappy music...

    Question about load weight.

    Legal is what the little placard on the door post states. I own a Chevrolet 3500 and the GVWR is 9600 pounds. I can not legally exceed 9600 pounds even if I add airbags, extra leaf springs and chicken lights. An exception to this is a certified up-fitter who modifies the chassis changing the...

    DOT Physical?

    Thank you for the info Kmarti79. If the regular price of a D.O.T. physical is $50, what does one cost when it is the featured blue light special?

    Where Have All The Controversial Posts Gone

    Where have all the controversial posts gone? Long time passing. Where have all the controversial posts gone? Long time ago. Where have all the controversial posts gone? Young moderators have deleted every one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn? Apologies to Pete Seeger

    Who should run our country?

    But for the most part we continue to re-elect the same type person whom we just voted out. As for the employee owned company thing, how come I never see a profit sharing check?

    Tagging penguins limits survival chances, study shows

    Bear as in Gentle Ben. Collie as in Lassie. Gerry Mathers as in the Beaver. Or should that read Beaver as in Jerry Mathers? Bestest way that I can feelo as in out on the highway rollin' a wheelo.

    Just wondering

    Wow, I was just wondering, as I sometimes do and you were wondering too. I guess great minds think alike. Or at the very least wonder alike. We must be like soul mates or something. How cool is that! What I was wondering was how your brother came up with his list of prospects? Surely...

    Tagging penguins limits survival chances, study shows

    I have read summaries of studies involving the Minnesota timber wolf population. No, not the basketball team. Real timber wolves, canis lupus. Much of the data collected came from wolves wearing radio collars. Wolves are pack dwelling animals that have a social hierarchy. What if one day...
