FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Sitting in a door at the Sterling walmart. Preplanned next two loads

Plano IL to Valley NE. Today pickup tomorrow drop.

Tomorrow pickup a 5 stop Kawasaki load. All drops in Montana for Monday/Tuesday deliveries. I’m ignoring the weather for this weekend.

 

Been running an Idaho Chicago loop. Decent pay easy load/unload, but Omaha to Davenport has always been my nemesis. Today took a page from Mr Davis and set the cruise at 65. This will be my new normal and I take back all the Prime comments I ever spoke. (Mostly)

 

You MWR guys keeping Plano as a secret to yourselves I see. Everytime I go to Chicagoland I get a horrible load from somewhere stupid since I’m part of the silver truck gang. And holy crap Plano is nice and easy.

that is all

 

Listen to this crock of ####

I bought my Camry in Wichita. Sedgwick County has a 7.5% sales tax. I live in Saline County, which has a 9.25% sales tax for some reason. I had already paid the Sedgwick County sales tax when I bought the car. But since my county charges more for sales tax, I had to give them an extra $350 because their rate is higher.

Absolute ########. I paid sales tax at the dealer when I bought the car, just to turn around and pay more sales tax because my county charges a higher amount than the county i bought the car from

 

The government will always get every penny that they have coming to them. You can’t win on that one.

 

I’ve never paid tax at the dealer, always paid when I got the plates.

South Dakota will get you. I bought a pickup in 2005 when I lived in Montana (no sales tax) and at the end of 2011 when I transferred the title to South Dakota when I moved they charged 3% tax on the blue book value because there hadn’t been taxes collected on it in other states. I bought a vehicle in Montana again in 2017 when I was living out there and when I was transferring it to South Dakota in 2019 they didn’t charge tax because they figured Hawaii collected tax when I transferred it over there.

South Dakota will always get their 3% on vehicles, including commercial trucks and trailers. I wonder how many people get a surprise bill when they transfer everything to SD because there’s no state income tax.

 

Yeah i forgot you only pay sales tax when you tag the car. However, the sales tax is calculated based on what county the dealer is in. But if you live in a county that charges a higher sales tax than the former, you're responsible for the initial sales tax from the county you bought the car in, plus the difference between the two

 

I guess view it as a good outcome that they recognized that you paid a sales tax and credited that to you up front… I’ve heard examples where one State didn’t and basically charged the person a second full Sales Tax.

 

Grabbed a CHR Load on the east coast on Thursday morning heading to Target Topeka… split at ACT to grab a load there going to Bethel PA for Monday drop.

stay safe

 

Try working in a state with NO income tax, then at tax time, your home state assesses their state income tax on income made on the ground in for example, FL, TX, or AK. I have done all three. They got me GOOD the first time. The other times, I was aware and was able to plan for it.
