    Taxes: Quarterly or Annually?

    The first time I tried expediting with Tri-State, I wasn't totally sure what I was doing. I basically just saved a ton of receipts and sat down with a Tax Preparer to sort it all out. I'm talking with a Fleet Owner who runs with Panther and they said their drivers just receive their taxes...

    Trying Hours

    Well I've been trucking but have decided to try something different. Try Hours has offered me a spot in a cargo van and orientation is next Tuesday by Toledo. It sounds like I can leave the weigh stations, log book, and over flowing rest areas behind. Should be interesting.

    2+ years driving on Automatic Tractor Trailers

    So I was wondering if most of the Straight Trucks are manuals or automatics. I figure the Cargo Vans probably automatics right? /edited down
