    Everyone pays taxes. Weekly pay check, Quarterly estimated.
    Some people don't understand the process, some don't want to invest the time to understand.
    Most people don't want the responsibility. They just want someone to tell them how much to pay and when.(this is me).
    I pay tax attorney and accountant to guide me.

    Your comfortable with 1099 and understands the tax system.
    I like 1099 better than lease to own.
    Same system without the purchase. As I understand them.
    Good luck

    Alright finally got that load finished after just about every setback imaginable. Got a load offer from dispatch asking if id go to San Francisco, ive never been to Cali and yet still hate it so I said No thanks, got a text back asking if i was sure and that it pays $5500.....Guess im going to California for the first time ever lol. 115 miles dead head to shipper in manitowoc Wisconsin picking up an attachment for a crane thats 20k lbs and dispatch says they'll find another partial along the route to add more $$. Anyone got any pointers about Cali ? Always heard its not exactly trucker friendly ?

    It’s easy. I’d stay at the 49er Truck stop in Sacramento or maybe stay in Dixon ca before dropping into the bay.

    It’s in Sacramento. On I-80. Might reserve a spot on a weekend. Or could also stay in Dixon. It’s a small little gas station with a few spots.

    The 49er is a good spot to stop at been there a couple of times. Make sure your weights are legal and your log book is 100% legal and you wont have any issues with cali. I always set cruise at 55 unless im in a town that has a lower speed limit so I know im not speeding unless going downhill. You can stop at T/A in Reno and check conditions of donner before heading into cali. One more thing I forgot to mention is that I beleive the 49er charges for parking but its been a few years since ive been out there.

    Supposed to be good weather over the weekend. You can keep it around 58-60 and be fine speed wise. You’ll have truckee scale on 80 that’s a super coop, then Cordelia scales going west and eastbound.
