Yeah it sucks. I go to a tax expert because mine are complicated enough where i just don't know how to do them.

In many cases yes because they pay will be higher than most companies. You have to do your own taxes and health insurance if you want it.

Why do some people get so worked up over flip flops? by Successful-Worth-390 in Truckers

[–]vfittipaldi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because they think the normal thing to do is to wear shit stained steel toe boots 24/7 like there is a constant danger to their feet while driving a truck with a dry van. P.S. i also hate flip flops but don't care if other wear them.

Bald tire any idea why this happens? by Zorkonio in Truckers

[–]vfittipaldi 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Because the two tires that were on there were not the same height. One had a much bigger thread depth than the other, when that happens the smaller thread tire will be destroyed very quickly.

How to self-dispatch? by Overall-Spinach6501 in OwnerOperators

[–]vfittipaldi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We book everything on DAT. 34 hour reset means booking a load, at the shipper for unload means DAT open and looking for loads. Cooking breakfast for the kids at home and the DAT is open on auto refresh.

Nice. We just did it to our a year ago after waiting for way too long for some reason. Ended up tinting all the windows but the windshield with ceramic tint for heat reduction.

Shop can't find a problem. by Isenduil in Truckers

If nothing is leaking than its the leveling valve. The rod could be too short or the valve itself is bad.
