Any NetFlix plan will get you unlimited free online movies . We use our 37" HDTV at home hooked up as a monitor to our PC to watch the movies and I watch them on the laptop on the road . We still get DVD's in the mail to maintain the free online service and also to get Bluray rentals .

He cannot log that way . He can only keep one set of logs and every company I know of requires at least the last 7 days . 395.8 If he has his own authority he will be in big trouble when audited . I know several small carriers with their own authority that broker loads through Landstar but...

Idleaire should have been a company offering the equipment for sale to truckstops , not as a company trying to exist on the sales of the services . If the truckstops owned the equipment and offered more basic services like HVAC and shore power and dropped extras like internet , phone , and TV...

I'd say if it was all off duty it would private use and not deductible . Did you log any on duty time while using the rental ? I think if an FMCSA auditor and an IRS auditor ever got together and compared HOS with deductions it would cause a lot of headaches .

A recent post in Uship forums under the topic "Running Past Weigh Station" had a member named Tobycat, who owns a Sprinter post that if you used a van to haul freight across state lines you need ed to log . He also stated Sprinter has a regulation sleeper option that fits across the front . He...
