    I’ve always figured you’d be taxed in your state of residence. If I ever won my tax attorney would probably know before my wife.

    Does this tick anyone off

    I’m just wrapping my head around paying to park and I’m told today that, at least at this TA in CT, the later in the day you reserve the more you pay. After we reserved a spot in Maryland, so we could stay home longer and roll in late, the Load canceled at 13:00. Too late for a refund.:: edit...

    Sprinter Van Dilemma. Help!

    Are you talking from experience or are you repeating rumors ? I’ve hauled as many or more cars than anybody I know of on this forum. 10 years at Allied Automotive and a few years at fly by nights. I’ve never offered this advice. Haven’t hauled a car for revenue in 10 years. Is local stuff better...

    Zorry really enjoyed the Expo. He had a 3.6 cf Norcold 110/12v Running, sitting in the sun. 34 degrees at 5pm . The wife mistakenly told a vanner $300. He said he’d honor that price. The vanner couldn’t raise the cash. Before anyone yells, he’ll put it in the Classifieds when he gets home.

    STRESSED

    I spoke to a guy last year buying like a $150,000 Reefer from an owner. He was paying him 20% of his income. I said are you paying interest ? He said “I don’t know.” I believe he didn’t have a clue. The owner would let him know when it was paid off. Right.

    STRESSED

    Zorry is on his way to the Expo to try and sell a freshly T-Val’d reefer. He’ll take 100% down. Or he’s got third party financing for OK credit with some down payment.

    How Has Electronic Logging Changed the Trucking Industry?

    When Roadway started the sleeper operation in the 90’s, fondly called “ pajama cars”, they spent 100s of thousands of dollars to figure out the schedule. Actually hired a company that did airline scheduling. Chicago Heights had about 135 weekly bids for Sleepers. My brother ran a California run...

    Just for conversation sake, back in the day, all you had were new companies. Those that performed are here today.,Others are just a bad memory. So you had to give the freight to a start up. Today, you’ve got 50 companies in your Rolodex. Why take a chance on an unknown? On the upside, you’ve...

    How Has Electronic Logging Changed the Trucking Industry?

    Before I started running legal, as a dumb, hungry young guy, I did a few 20 + shifts where I felt brain dead as soon as I accepted the Load.
