Go up the street to Junies at the Road Ranger.

I don't understand why claiming a home office would be a red flag. The deduction is minuscule unless you are claiming your entire home as your office. I have been deducting office space for 18 years and never been audited.

I don't know. I probably have never claimed 28 days a month for per diem, at least not with any regularity.

Did you get a load out of Neillsville? I have snagged loads from there several times over the years. Two places come to mind, located on the east side of town in that industry park.

Welcome to the wonderful world of expediting.

Nice palm trees!:D:D

Exactly! Could work for teams but how does a solo driver monitor a load board still get the necessary rest? I like the idea of picking and choosing from available loads but if one wanted to watch a load board all day, why not go it alone and eliminate the carrier.

It helps to consult a tax accountant to verify all that is tax deductible. I have a dedicated office space at home. The square footage, as a percent of the total square footage of the house, is used to calculate utility usage, which can be deducted.

Joe Biden is "Who?"

Sick of switching clocks twice a year? That's quite the burden. They will expend more time and energy working on this legislation than if they all lived to be 150 years old and setting clocks twice a year.

And you don't have to wear a silly blue vest!

Earlier this morning I spent 2½ hours with another driver at an ABF terminal waiting for Panther to fax verification paperwork that would allow us to swap freight. It's 2016 and they're messing around with fax machines. I really shouldn't complain as this is an improvement over using Western...

I was replying to your questions in post 15. Like Treadmill said: "It depends on what carrer you are with." If you sign a contract that states a higher pay rate for freight over 4' high and 8' long, then you get the higher rate. If your contract has no stipulation for "Sprinter size"...

Could be Brad James or it could be Rick James, :censoredsign:.

Not knowing what carrier you are leased to makes it difficult to properly answer your question. Reading your post I'm not sure exactly what your question is. If you have a question about how your carrier pays for different loads, be more specific in your questioning.

If that's the case, then the poor slob that bought my old van with 820,000 miles is probably out buying a new carbon canister as I type because the one in that van is the original.

I agree with Leo. When the pump clicks off I'm usually still cleaning glass or chipping ice off the washer/squeegee thing. All the gas and fumes have settled and I round up to the dollar. Yeah, I'm OCD about the even dollar. It makes bookkeeping easier. Although, with gasoline being under...

An expedite carrier shouldn't care where you live, they even lease with people that live in Michigan. A fleet owner looking to pair a team might consider a south Florida resident a potential problem due to home time. Like Ragman said, call around.
