Yea he and I went thru rdtc together leased at the same time and talk daily he is a hell of a business man he confuses me with numbers an stuff! I have a cpa for that stuff! Lol
-
I hear that. I don't keep up with all that. Guess I should but I pay ppl to do that gladly! Lol

I'm the opposite of you two. I understand the business and leave the mechanical to the "experts." I found out real quick how much trouble I could get into relying on someone else to keep my books. I knew I had problems six weeks before I ever got a statement from ATBS. By keeping the business as a sole-proprietorship it makes things easy. Just remember the maintenance fund is taxable as retained earnings. Repairs themselves are deductible. At the rate I'm going the IRS will owe me.
thelastrebel Thanks this. -
I understand the numbers I just don't like em id rather be polishing or watching tv, atbs is a #### joke. My cousin is my cpa he has his mba and does four times the job that atbs could. And I'm pretty good mechanically if I have the part and tools a mechanic won't touch my truck. Lol u made a joke at your own expense! Gotta love it
-
let me re phrase a little I understand that the numbers are important therefore I don't let myself manage them! lol

You'll love this. Roehl has ticked my doctor off to the point he's ready to school them on dot physicals. His comment to me is that the only b.s. with him is his initials. He's a real doctor that is also dot certified, has hospital privileges, can write prescriptions and everything. He did the most thorough exam I've had since before I started going to Roehl's "doctors." He gave me a two year card because there was no medical reason not too. Roehl says he can't because I'm taking medication. He double checked the regulations and it says nothing about only a one year certificate for anything other than high blood pressure or any other medical condition that prevents a driver from being safe. So we are playing by Roehl's rules so I can get back to work. I have to have an annual exam anyway so that isn't the issue, it's just who knows more?

Its probably another one of those we have experts in the know things.

Reading the applicable paragraph, my doctor as my treating physician is the one who can give me a two year card. He has been my doctor since the beginning of my driving career. Now that I'm responsible for my own dot physical I can use someone I trust instead of the company's current Dr. Bombay. (For you youngsters, check out the television series Bewitched.)

Roehl knows best, you know that, how dare your Doctor question them HAHAHA!
