    No, just like you are not able to take off your taxes for earnings you could have made if you had the vehicles in motion. If this particular pipe dream of the tax code existed, I would form a company, go around buying up all the 2000 dollar junk trucks I could, and make a living just by having them parked. I could milk the IRS for every truck I had that didn't haul a load. You do not make money off of a truck by sitting it in the parking lot.

    People screamed bloody murder when they found out some farmers were getting paid for not producing crops. How do you think these companies have managed to keep the secret of getting paid for not having their trucks moving for all these years?

    He was just 'resting'---that's what happens when a company used to have a 1 yr min experience and now takes 4 mos---Knight has become a Swiftwannabe!!!

    I see Burky is planning a trip to the bank for financing if he can find the right tax code.
    :smt081 :smt081 :laughing5: :smt081 :toothy7:



    As long as the CEOs and management of companies continue to pay themselves millions of dollars a year when the back bone of the company the drive gets paid, $30,000 $40,000 $50,000 if they are lucky, spend hundreds of nights a year away from home, forced to take a daily ration of .... from DOT and the dispatchers, and put up with all the other bull organic matter that comes with life on the road NOTHING will be done about turn over.

    Who knows how these hugeantics are covering the fixed costs of their cleaned out rigs. The ¨tax relief¨ hypothesis is just that...an educated guess. It may be the truth about what´s going on, yet it may just be a dead end. One thing it is is a start to explaining how companies can have all the empty trucks they have sitting around. Empty trucks that got that way by quitters cleaning them out. Quitters who got fed up by all the company BS and pushed the ejection button.
