    ...and?????

    We live by rules everyday as business owners.....What's your point?

    If the law says you file the "red" one...don't file the "green" one.......Not rocket science....

    If you are smart it will save you a lot of money give you a lot of write offs. Talk to a tax lawyer and not H&R Block And read up on tax laws there are a lot of loop holes

    I think getting a LLC for a trucking company is a must, dosent matter if one driver or more. I incorporated in SC, pretty easy i would say, $300 if i remember correctly.
    If you are a one company its even better, you receive all the benefits a corporation offers but get treated as a segregated entity, filling schedule C just like the sole proprietors.

    BTW i booked a flatbed load ( no tarp 20k) NC to CA for $1.30 per mile. The lowest i went in a while...
    is that bad? I felt bad the whole weekend about it

    Your original question "what is cheap freight "
    I think it's when these Bozos haul for just fuel money and don't have a clue what it cost to run there truck.
    BTW

    I hate to break it to ya pal but 19 acres is a hobby... now if you had 100 acres, that might justify the use of the word farm....LMFAO:biggrin_25523:

    You should feel real bad about that rate! Is that gross with surcharge?
