    Welcome and good luck on your second venture into trucking. No doubt, things have changed (CSA-2010, EOBRs, etc.) Good luck in your choice.

    Welcome to the forum and welcome back to the road. I'm a welder myself and had to quit the fab shop for the same reasons so I know where you're coming from. Good luck.

    Hey BIGMIKE1, my hubby ia a OTR driver. I am responding to a post that i recently saw of yours about taxes if you're 1009.I lost my place where it was and i was wondering, would you say 1099 causes more of a headache than it does anything else? Would you say about 33.3% of each check is appropriate to put away?
