    IRS releases standard mileage rate for 2012

    I do not think the $29K applies to "for hire" vehicles, at least thats what my Turbotax business software tells me. But for these vehicles, actual expenses must be claimed instead of mileage, both can not be claimed, some people do it anyway (lol) :)

    Married Couple Looking to get into the Expedite Business.

    this sounds like a good way to get "unmarried" (lol). this work requires an awful strong marriage to start with, if there are any weaknesses in it, then this would make it worse, not every marriage would work for this job, hope yours can.

    new company driver thinking of buying Sprinter

    good question, and simple answer: in this business, customers want their expedite shipments as cheap as possible, they got to watch their pennies, so straight trucks are the best bang for the buck, why pay big rig rates when you do not have a 40000# load? if you only have 10000# that has to...

    new company driver thinking of buying Sprinter

    if you want to buy something, buy a straight truck if you can afford it, or if you can get a loan to buy one. there are some pretty good deals on good, used straights now days, but like anything else, you have to check them out good. could not recommend sprinter or cargo van, unless you...

    I drove a cab forward truck cross country once, it nearly killed me, back was sore for days. Thats probably why they are not used much in expediting, but if they can make it ride good, it would work.

    Would it work here?

    would not work here simply because we have elections every 2 to 4 years in which we change the parties in power; but the government never changes regardless of the party in power, our system ain't perfect, but it is still the best in the world. the numbers are split right down the middle, 20%...
