Does anyone know where to get my tax return filed in Erie PA? I had it done at H&R last year and I was disappointed. The lady that filed it for me didn't seem knowledgeable about OTR drivers. So do I just go to a CPA or what?

I rarely use brakes, Sprinters handle those curves like Porsches. lol

OntarioVanMan, By the word "enough" I meant 1500-2000 miles per week.

Thanks OntarioVanMan, I suppose I'll call Bolt first since they are closer to me. By the way, Did anyone here anything negative or positive about On Time Express? do they give their drivers enough work?

Hi folks, I am a Sprinter owner operator and have been working for a small local expediting company. I roughly have 10 month experience and right now I am looking for a better company. I only average 1000 miles per week and my per mile rate sounds just as bad. The two reasons I put up with this...

I run a sprinter. The only deductions I used were standard mileage deduction and per diem. I made a big mistake by getting my taxes done by someone(local h+r block) who seemed unfamiliar with the trucking industry. I hope everything goes smoothly and I happen to avoid an audit, because I am not...

Frank or anyone with tax knowledge, I went with standard mileage deduction this year so does that mean I don't have to keep all my receipts(fuel,tolls etc) for 08? I didn't have a need for them when I was doing my 07 taxes this year, so I was just wondering if its really necessary. I also...

Frank, If I go with standard mileage deduction(which I already did for 07)does that mean I don't have to keep all my receipts(fuel,tolls etc) for 08. It sounds like keeping receipts isn't necessary for doing your taxes, if you go with standard mileage deduction. Am I correct?

In my opinion, the LTX are terrible in the snow but other than that it is a good one.

I bought a 04 Sprinter 158" 2500 and just wanted to know what kind of loads are safe for the Sprinter. If i remember correctly my payload is listed as 3011LB but I've heard folks take up to 4000LB, so I'd imagine somewhere around 3500LB is still safe, right?

I forgot to mention that I am planning on purchasing a used Sprinter 2005 or 2006 model year and not the 07. I was thinking to get the 2500 because If I go with it, I would get more loads that are taller in height and I seen that as a positive because 3500 would be somewhat handicapped because...

Hello everyone, I am looking into buying a Sprinter in January but would like to hear some opinion on which Sprinter should I go with, 2500 or 3500? If I go with 3500 which is a dually,(which means I'll build a sub-floor)does that mean I'll have a harder time getting loads. I need to know which...

why would I need driver qualification files? what is it for?

thanks!! you guys gave me alot of information here.

Hello everyone, I am a o/o Ford cargo van driver but I am looking into buying a Sprinter or box truck and want to find loads on my own. In order to do that, what would I need? I've read a post saying that I might need intestate authority, insurance(I already have insurance for my cargo van but...

So the way I understand it, If I have a box truck I have to go on the scales for weigh-ins, no matter what kind of load I have, unlike a cargo van, correct? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

>If the truck is under 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight >then a cdl is not required but otr trips in a vehicle over >10,000 pounds gvw require the driver to maintain a log book. > >Many Ryder and Penske rental trucks are registered at 25,999 >pounds. Then they can be rented to individuals...

Do all box trucks require CDL? Because, I've been told that the 10-12' box trucks that are not duallies are usually under 10,000 gvwr and don't require a CDL. This is hard for me to believe because the payload of the box truck would be extremely low considering the hefty weight of the truck, right?

frank, thanks for your detailed reply.

Hi everyone, I have a question, I was a construction sub-contractor but I am switching over to expediting and wanted to know if I could use the same Employer Identification Number(EIN) for expediting or do I have to get a different one?
