    Started with CH Robinson because they will take brand new authorities... From there maybe Coyote, ITS and DAT? There is also one called XPO Logistics that we were thinking of looking into. Also we pull a refer... Mainly because it's what we know, and if there isn't refer freight, we can haul van stuff.

    Well we will be empty Monday morning (if all goes as planned) in Auburn, WA... There are some loads out, but none really heading to CA (via CHR)... And that's the direction we want to go... So if one can be found, a finders reward just might be in order ;)

    So in reality, your working for 23 cents a mile. Not to mention, your social security will be lower, when it's time to retire and wants to use it. Also banks looks at the w-2 form, when it comes time to take out a loan, and they go off by what was paid to you, not what you make. Banks and loan officers do not take into consideration, that your on periderm. And from experience, I know they do not accept letters from the payroll dept., explaining the periderm package.
    I have worked for 3 companies that were forced perdeim . The only one making money are the companies, because they don't have to pay all the fed. taxes, on a employee's WAGES. So what they don't pay , the wage earner is stuck paying them.
    Drivers can calim up to $59.00 per day as per the IRS. No need to be on a company's forced perdeim program.

    That's ok snowy. Mine forgot to install a gasket, when changing a fuel filter. Ended up having to change it again, cause I was losing my prime.Got 1.25 hrs left on my 70 and am trying to decide whether to slide into NY or not. TA in Milldale, CTRL charges to park, Maybrook does not.

    Even with a fatality, you'd think k the investigation and clean up would be finished by now. Almost 4 hrs now, stuck in this traffic.
