Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

What’s your new company truck..?

Brand new?

 

Maybe. Dunno, nbever done it before. I do know that people go to auction sites and look at the vehicles before they buy them, if they aren't just looking for parts units. Since most people also have smartphones, it might happen.

 

Freightliner with 75k miles on it. Was very surprised to see it had a pretty nice inverter in it. 1200w pure sine wave inverter. Also has a couple built in 120v outlets, a shelf that will actually fit a microwave (and a strap to hold it in place, and a fridge.

The storage units are a lot different from my old truck though, I'm going to have to re-do a lot of how I used to store things.

EDIT: It's also a dd15 with manual 10 speed Eaton, so I'm happy.

 

A manual?!? That’s surprising.

 

I suspect the driver before me was a trainer. Pretty sure they get manuals for trainers still.

 

You were talking about...having to pay tax on money...from sold truck...I've never included money I've made from selling any vehicle on my taxes...or is your case different

 

That is why I pay someone to do my taxes.

 

Well, just a little trick for drivers to use when moving from truck to truck. If you need to keep your chains organized so you can move them quickly one at a time, try this. Lock all the last links, one from each chain, into a big padlock. Then you can find the end of each chain when it comes time to put them on another truck.

 

Personal vehicles you don’t have to.

 

If that truck was in your name and you depreciated it on your taxes it has to be reported. Plus any depreciated funds will be recovered also. It get's real ugly. You would have been better to just got your money back. Best of luck
