    I'm getting ready to get set up with an accountant.

    There is someone that I have used for other things. He's very professional, reasonable, I can always get him on the phone, and he seems like a good guy.

    He's not a trucking accountant, but he does have one trucking company that he does their taxes.

    Should I give this guy a shot or do I absolutely need to have someone that just Specializes in trucking?

    If I need to find someone that specializes in trucking where would I even look?

    I am in Southeastern Pennsylvania by the way.

    If he is doing taxes for a trucking company, he should be familiar with truckers returns.

    I used to think I absolutely needed someone who did truckers only or predominantly.

    Experience has taught me truckers only have a few items that makes our returns different. Mainly daily deduction and depreciation.

    Others may disagree with me, I suggest you call ooida. Ask people who provide business answers for a living.

    You make some excellent points. He must be familiar with how to file a return for a trucking company that is true.

    I am a member of ooida. For whatever reason I hadn't thought to call them. That's a great idea.
