    Yeah, OR I could go work for a carrier that issues nicer equipment, AND one that takes care of payroll, tax issue
    . Im not trying to start anything, Im just saying.
    Cjr, you had to wait for a load, ok, you still got paid very nicely for the load you just delivered.

    Yes very true and the load going back pays about the same. The thing that I hate is sittling. And not being productive. I will say ki am very happy despite all the small shortcomings. I think that I will be very happy here with pgt for a long time. I do see all the other companies with there somewhat nice trucks and get to thinking, but read the reviews and youwyouwIll see. I alwo trust that once they see I am a safe and productive driver I will get a nice truck. Pgt has done nothing but look out for me and take care to ensure my safety and the safety of others. Also even though the truck is old and has nearly 700k on it it runs great and has been bery well maintained.

    What is the difference if you pay state taxes or if the company does?

    if company doesnt take out the taxes, you have to know how much money to set aside and save to pay the taxes at the end of the year.

    At least you get to keep your money for the year and not the government.

    That's true, but what do most people do with money that they make? Spend it. If you don't save the amount you will have to pay, then you start falling behind, owing fees, yada yada, then a thousand turns into 10 thousand, blah blah....
     
    Airborne and Blind Dog Thank this.

    You all just need to move to Texas and not worry about the state tax. :)
