    Yes 42 cents a mile loaded unloaded I pay for nothing no truck expenses no fuel nothing so tell me how working for a bigger carrier starting at $0.29 a mile and probably less unloaded home 2 days out of 3 weeks and s*** miles would be a better option for me oh and whatever I make that week 25% of it going to taxes like I said if you got a better situation for me working shoot me in the better Direction

    Nothing slick about it, I had to go find my job just like the others on here have. I know I could call two megas right now and get more than you are quoting, heck prime will pay .44 .
    I work for a well known company home a couple times a week (I live in the middle of major route) , I'm paid north of .60 cpm. So they are out there.

    Lease purchase sucks you end up paying more in taxes even if you make the same as a company driver... unless u go to landstar or Mercer so.ething of that nature and bring your own truck like say from lone mountain or just finance one. Don't do lease purchase it's all set up for you to fail..

    It's called breaking the law and hoping you don't get caught. It absolutely is tax fraud to write off purchases that are not legal deductions. No different than taking dead grandma's social security checks and pretending she's still alive.

    Half the things you listed in that last post are not tax deductible. Claiming a vacation as a business expense is flat out tax fraud.
