Thinking of SNI Choice

I do. I can go three weeks without working, but I'd rather not run it that close. No doubt I'll use some this month, but if I still have a weeks reserve on Jan. 1st, I'll be ok with that. Not happy, but ok. I've got one more year, until 1/5/18, on my lease, then I am gone.

 

My plan is to leave trucking completely. Too many changes adversely affecting the profession. I'll be 57 next year, been on the road most of the last 20 years, and I'm working on going into business for myself in a field related to what I used to do.

Hardest part of being an IC? Probably dealing with my boss...me!

 

Nope. Left once and came back. I'm not getting any younger, and my motivation isn't what it once was.

 

Just go online and search how to create a LLC or INC. You can save yourself some $ doing it on your own. After that get your EIN. States vary on the creation of your LLC/INC. For example my state charged $100 but others will charge as much as $500. I paid my truck off using a lease purchase and my next one will be through Schenider since it's a lower down payment that at my current company. Nice thing is you never have to work at Schneider to lease their truck and eventually own in 4 years. Once you learn the board and find the best lanes to run, you will be set but depending on the person, it could take 1-6 months. Also depending on where you live can make a difference also. I've heard of drivers being home every weekend and netting $2k or more.

 

Why get an llc if your a one truck operation you can still get sued if your the driver?

 

If your profits get around 70k and up you can save a bunch on taxes by starting an LLC.
