    I would do food service...if the loads were palletized...and they provided an electric pallet jack.

    Much easier ways to make money. Work smarter, not harder.

    Tax free state?. No such thing, unless you mean sales tax in which case Delaware could hardly be considered the South. ;)

    I look at it this way. As long as there are lazy drivers in the truckstops. I’ll never go hungry. Even if I lose my job.

    One 300 lb driver can feed a family of 4 for a week easy. And truckstops are full of them!! It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.

    Florida. There's a few states that don't pay income tax - I know Texas as well. Hell, buy everything online to avoid sales tax :p

    I am not a lawyer or tax professional >_>

    Ew. I don't think you could ever get 'em clean enough to eat.

    Right, we know better. :biggrin_25523:

    I could function without the electric jack. It’s the fingerprinting and every stop being an inside delivery I have a problem with.

    I haul food almost every day....but not local. I'm a long haul guy, meaning across country and back most times. I know the thoughts on us refer drivers...but you gotta pick your poison and company. I also know it's very late tonight, but I'm wired up and just got home for a couple of days. Going down soon.

    Still have to pay Federal income tax in FL, or I should say I do. You need to let me know the name of your accountant if you are getting out of paying any income taxes at all.
