I don't get why so many people talk about IFTA tax. It is paid at the pump, and if one is a bit astute about the cost of fuel less the federal tax one can usually get by with a lower cost per gallon and an IFTA refund (however small) by having over paid the tax by purchasing fuel in higher tax states, which often results in a lower price per gallon.

I'd like the big money unicorn behind door number 3 please.
You may blame @Dave_in_AZ. Not Lime Dave.
So...if a unicorn doesn't believe in its self, does it vanish?

Well I waited about 4 years to make this post after the uproar I caused. I haven't read any of the posts here since my last and probably won't.
Im back to say I completed this LP. I get my title on Monday. I want to thank everyone who blasted me for doing it. You kept the fire lit under me. I finished it because of you guys who said I couldn't. It wasn't easy and I wouldn't do it again but it wasn't nearly as horrible as everyone here says. I never had any issues making money. I was home for a week every month and I always brought home more than I ever did as a company driver. I even bought my wife a brand new car that we would never have been able to afford.
I now have a paid off tractor and paid off trailer (paid cash) and am in the process of getting my own authority. I'll be hitting the road under my own numbers with paid for equipment and roughly $50k in the bank. I can't imagine accomplishing any of that without the lease purchase as I was literally living paycheck to paycheck prior.
So thank you for all the negative comments. I wouldn't be where I am today without them.Last edited: Sep 30, 2022

Congratulations!
I applaud you, well done.
Success stories are always great to hear about.
Many people seem to come on forums just to say oh poor me, which seems silly...or they make nothing into a large amount of drama.
Been trucking for 34 years, and still enjoy it most days.
Hell i even like ELDs, f..k paper log books, new trucks drive like a Cadillac on holidays, and tires/brakes are much better, so many things are better.
If I have a complaint its how useless road builders and pipe liners have become, so they screw up traffic. -

The morons around BC are as clueless as they come. -
I never spent much time in BC. I have some relatives on Salt Spring Island and I spent a couple of months living there back in the 60s. In those days it was quite nice.MartinFromBC Thanks this. -
Don't get me wrong, BC is a great place to live.
But why close the one and only main hwy across the country to do some work on it.
First build a detour, then do the work, and do it quickly, not as slow as you can possibly drag it out for. -
Quit it. You'll just give yourself a headche.dwells40, Oxbow, JolliRoger and 1 other person Thank this.
