I would encourage anyone that is self employed to use an accountant. I don't think a trucking specific accountant is necessary, but do find one that specializes in small business. Tax laws continuously change and a reputable accountant will attend classes and seminars throughout the year to...

I have used macro 8 and received a reply stating no relocations have been found. Within a minute or two I will send another macro 8 and get at least one relocation. That leaves me one left for the day.
