    Should be fine. I left mine plugged in many a night, though I might unplug it during the coldest nights of winter. I put mine on the front seat when I'm sleeping, and closing the bunk curtains means the front area will get pretty cold. That Igloo will still be cold in the morning.

    That's not a bad idea, I actually left it next to the passenger seat but I might try your technique out. Thanks man.

    The ignorance of tax law is ridiculous. Like he said, every business pays on their gross, total money in, minus their expenses/deductions..

    simplified, in the example you pay 25 - 35 % of the 1100 or whatever you have in your pocket after normal business related deductions

    Despite having a trailer tire blow out on me in the California desert and having to wait for roadside, I still managed to pit down 635 miles. Unfortunately my delivery is now going to be late due to the blow out and the 6 hour wait to get loaded yesterday. Oh well, ain't my fault so I'm not sweating of too much.

    not exactly you pay what you owe after deductions that can be $0 or could be a lot more just depends on how the driver runs his business when you pay business related expenses you take that off your taxes its like paying your taxes with your business cost

    It's 25% of your net, not the gross. You get to deduct all those expenses. So your example would mean he'd need to set aside 275 for taxes, not 875.
