    This particular job will vary, but I'll be driving the delivered vehicle and either being flown home or doing a backhaul.

    Well, I just sat down with an accountant and the job situation I'm interested in is fine in his opinion.

    I had heard from some people that Expediters sometimes just pay annually and he said I should not do that; I should pay quarterly, so I'm glad to have that issue settled. So I'll just follow some guidelines he gave me to make sure I set aside enough money for taxes, then sit down with him in early September with my records and receipts to verify everything and pay my #### taxes.

    Other Friends and Family had suggested I need to form a LLC, but the accountant felt that was unnecessary as I'm fine just being a Sole Proprietor. I might consider changing that if for some reason I 'grow' as a business.
