Crete Carrier - A Year In Review - Fall 2013 Going Forward

Don't think so I'm nowhere near that area

 

I guess I have to call Lincoln and see about getting my W-2.

 

Haven't got mine yet either but saw on another driver page that they were mailed out Jan. 31st from Chicago.

 

That’s good that’s it’s not just me.
I’m in no hurry to do taxes, just the bank wants my W2’s to see if I’m worthy of a loan.

 

Remember, to take your Meals & Incedental Expense deduction.

The IRS changed the name from Per Diem to Meals and Incidental Expenses in 2016.

You can deduct 75% of the maximum $63 allowable per day or $47.25 on days you're either headed into or out of hometime.

Every full day out = $63 deduction
Every day you’re coming/going out = $47.25 deduction.

Whatever that total is, multiply it by your tax bracket to see what you’ll save.

Earning $37,950 to $91,900 puts most of us in the 25% tax bracket.

A $15,000 M. & I.E. deduction means
$15,000
X 25%
Which equals saving $3,7500 in direct tax savings. Nothing to sneeze at. I believe this is the last year for it, too, as they simplified the tax code next year.

 

I can’t believe Crete has 100 drivers per 1 asset manager. That’s spread too ****ing thin. I can never get a hold of anyone, I’m always on hold for like an hour.

 

Something's wrong with that. I very rarely need to call but when I do, I get them almost right away usually. It may not be MY asset manager that answers every time but I get someone quickly.

 

Thank you for this info, just downloaded both & they work great

 

Unloaded at the Carlisle terminal in Tacoma WA. Load going to Fairbanks. Picked up at a container place in Portland OR. No room to turn around in their “yard” so they have you back in across a 4 lane. Glad I don’t do that everyday.

 

I had a delay just getting back Crete has really changed since I had to have my surgery I’m playing it by ear I can’t believe they let u go
