OK, I did a stupid thing. I will tell you all what I did so you won't make the same dumb mistake. I bought a set of steer tires at the Belle Tire store in Allen Park Michigan. I paid for a set of 11R22.5 Michelin "H" rated tires. The tires went on and I went out the door. I DID NOT LOOK AT...

LOL, well, at least he claimed he was good! Glad you enjoyed that one. Layoutshooter

Thanks for all the help in here. My tax guy got back to me and said that it would be deductable under the circumstances. You don't want me for President. Welfare would end, ALL socialist programs would end. People would HAVE to work for a living. Crime would no longer be accectable. We would be...

Taxes in general suck. They are not here to help us get ahead in anyway. I think we should tax by use to sociaity insted of by how much you earn. Congressmen and Senators would pay the highest rate since they are the most useless etc.!!! I hope to hear from my tax guy on this question later in...

I would think that would be fine. A business related expense. The more deductions the better. Layoutshooter

Thanks Phil, I kinda would think it would have to be, but then again, I always get in trouble when I think!!! Layoutshooter

We have never done this as yet. We did have to rent a car 2 weeks ago when the truck was in the shop. There we no motels in walking distance and the shop did not have a shuttle. We were not able to stay in the truck since it was being worked on. We were kinda without a good choice. Was just...

AS always the Caffee's are a credit to our profession. I am proud to know them. !!! They have passed on a lot of knowlege to us and we have been able to put a good bit of it to use. Layoutshooter

Good to hear, we are ALWAYS looking for a way to pay less in taxes and use our money to improve our business. Layoutshooter

The food at the truck stops consists mainly of the 3 food groups: FAT, SALT and BULK!! Great stuff. Don't tell the food police, if they find out then the truck stops will not be able to serve anything!!! Layoutshooter

Did the IRS give you any trouble over it? Layoutshooter

When my truck breaks down on the road and it has to be in the shop for several days I rent a car for transportaton. IS that rental deductable? Layoutshooter

Thanks Greg, I will be looking into this more next time I get home. Hate to go home right now, freight is hot for us right now. Layoutshooter

My truck did not come that way but I am leaning that way quickly. I am not very good with that kind of work. I am sure I could get one off the other truck/trailer. I doubt I would be able to do the connections. I would have to remove lines that are feeded the reefer/APU out of my main tanks. I...

How much did it cost you? I want a 40 gal. I want to run my reefer and APU off of it. Layoutshooter

Has anyone ever had a reefer tank put on thier truck or put one on themselves? Was wondering what it would cost. With fuel getting up in price a bit it might be worth it now. Layoutshooter

I am not too bothered by the length of the dead head. If the *all miles* rate is good then I take it. What we seldom do is take a long dead head to a bad freight area. If it were to cancel then we we would stuck. A long dead head to a good area is ok. Then at least you can get loaded quick if it...

What a relief!!!! LOL layoutshooter

One reason that they will not scream for diesel cars is the highter taxes on diesel. Our dummies in congress tax want they want us to go to. Hey does anyone know that the only thing is this country that is more useless than a US Senator? T*ts on a Toad!!! And we have 3 of the running for pres...

The most nerdy guy in our school did not live long enough to even get close to cool. That is the problem with not being born cool. It makes it hard to thrive, but some have made it. True is is very few but there has been some. Those who are not cool must strive to acheive. There is cool in the...
