    How does SNI handle your fuel taxes?
    Since LS always hits me up for more money, they must be lumping me in with everyone else. I get pretty good mileage, so they always think I haven't prepaid enough at the pumps.

    Any limits on how old, long, heavy your truck can be at SNI.
    At LS all it needs to do is pass inspection at their authorized sites like many TAs.

    SNI wants it to be under 10 years old. How heavy or long it is, is up to you.

    hmm somewhere else a guy posted that it was ok to have an older one ..... of course it needs an ELD installed
    this would be a dealbreaker for me

    The last I heard. They are only taking 1 truck per week if you bring your own truck. I souls check with the recruiter.

    they figure them up for you and deduct them once a month......your mileage has nothing whatsoever to do with what you pay in additional tax, nor what anyone else pays. It has to do with where you run and where you buy fuel. If you run between NC and SC but only buy fuel in SC, you're gonna pay. I believe it's calculated on 6 mpg. That said, there's a 20 cent difference between the two states, and with that in mind, you'll do better paying the additional tax
