    Some Brokers think they’re so smart. Trying to get a hold of your Truck. I told one they should buy a Truck and run some of their freight if it’s so good.

    I do well enough. Especially when Freight was scarce. All I heard was Drivers Company And O/O looking to change companies.Trucks sitting around a lot.I was hurting too but at least didn’t have stress of relying on someone else to run

    I’ve been running under S Corp for years. Had a couple problems recently due to new tax laws. Think it’s my tax lady’s daughter screwing up.3 yrs ago a $ 1600 mistake turned into $4400 with penalties and 10 mo interest . Seems like every time I take more than a week off things go to pot. Exception was last mo got letter from IRS oh no here we go again ! Turned out another mistake this time I got a check for $700. Also bought a lottery ticket that day. Lol. One more screw up and I’m shopping for new Tax person.

    Right now I'm on a daily rate account. $1000/day, 400 miles or less. Averaging 300 miles / day, working 7 days / week.

    You should make the tax person pay for those mistakes. That's why they have insurance.

    I know. I have been with her over 22 yrs through thick and thin . Has helped me more than once with profit/ loss statements etc. Everyone makes mistakes . Looking at tax return I could see She had my better interests in mind. It was an honest mistake really . I really would hate to lose her but when She retires and Daughter takes over I’ll probably switch
