    I would guess only because it makes it easier for them.

    Otherwise they/you must sort through a year of call logs to separate personal from business.

    I have a business line and a personal, I can't write the personal. If I say I have one line for personal and work I am not allowed to write it off according to H & R block. Speak with a tax outfit.

    One for personal/work. Write it off on my taxes. The chance of an audit are slim for me.

    I use my personal phone and get a monthly allowance from my company for using it as we do everything by phone.

    It isn't anywhere near the cost of covering my plan but it is a nice gesture on their part. Covers roughly 10% which is comparable to the amount of time I spend using it talking to dispatch.

    Just one phone. I setup a Google voice number for business.

    Side note on the Google voice. Sometimes you still have to dial 1 and area code when dialing from same area code. And the call in process is longer. I laugh at all the people that can't get through or are too impatient to wait an extra five seconds.

    Anyone I do business with on a regular basis gets my personal number. But all those freaking LS brokers calling about loads already posted on the board can go strait to Google voice.
