Landstar Questions

The biggest problem with the $100k NET is that even if one can do that amount, THE TAX MAN COMETH! He will take a nice chunk of that $100k leaving you with maybe $70k? I already do that leased to a carrier and don't have the extra headaches.

 

You make 70K after taxes leased to a carrier?

 

Close to it... Read this an judge for yourself.

What are your expences? Nobody can answer the question because everyone has a different cost per mile to run the truck.

 

You pay taxes? I have paid no federal/state income tax for years. Done legal.

 

It can be done. Without paying income taxes.

 

You don't pay self employment taxes?

 

Yes but, that is not an income tax.

 

Wow that is really awesome!!! That makes me even more excited to get back into trucking because thats not a bad living at all!

 

I am coming from Dart in Eagan Mn to Landstar..I have been told its like day and night.
I think I can handle just about all the things nessary but the IFTA and other tax related things..Where can I get that kind of info. What can I expect my cost per mile on taxes to be? I am thinking of letting Landstar set me up the first year and getting my own base plate the second yr after I know what states I will run in. I prefer south of I-70 and west of I-81..living in Cincinnati I dont know if thats a good area or not for dry van. I dont want to be so picky I end up picking my butt with no loads paying.
I now get .90 per mile mt or loaded but only 2500 in 7 days and only home 4 days a month. Can I expect to do better?
