    Do you know the tax laws, including SSI? I would probably start there.

    social security? i honestly dont even care about social security not part of my retirement plan, and what about taxes? I still got a refund last year. Some of it had to go to local because they didnt withhold it but i didnt own anything on it. What tax laws are you referring to?

    So you got a refund and you don't know why? Local taxes and Fed are two different things?! You also have social security taken out of your pay check and you don't care?? So, really there is no sense to have this conversation, because you either don't care OR know how it actually works. Would that be an fair assumption?

    It sounds like your still fresh into trucking and haven't been worked over a couple of times by your company. If your running 60+ hours a week and out for weeks at a time your getting hustled, and your company LOVES you. If your home everyday and have a life id say you should LOVE your company

    Each driver decides what is good pay for him, where he lives, with his expenses.
