We drive for an owner and will be paid on a 1099. We have occupational accident coverage deducted from our weekly settlement. Is this deductible on our taxes at the end of the year? Thanks :)

I don't think it's big truck vs little truck I think it's the drivers. I don't like leaving a truck in the hammer lane if I can avoid it. So many of the big trucks are governed now, and if they have moved over to allow you on the interstate, just let them move back in before you accelerate to...

Jaminjim... I'm afraid I'll have to live dangerously because I love the "not bending in the middle" ;)

Greg....You asked if the following was a "typo" " "My hubby spent 21 years in the Navy, 71 of it on submarines as Nuclear Machinist Mate (ELT- Engineering Laboratory Technician)." Uhh....yeah..see what happens when you type in the dark, rolling down a bumpy road..and you're a dyslexic typer to...

We also use E-Fax and have had no problems with it. We get our settlements from the owner faxed to us weekly along with all the faxing that goes on because of Canada. Being able to do that while running down the road is a time/sanity saver for us.

My hubby spent 21 years in the Navy, 71 of it on submarines as Nuclear Machinist Mate (ELT- Engineering Laboratory Technician). I spent an average of 7 months out of every year as a single mom with 3 boys. When hubby retired, we moved to Albuquerque, NM when he took a job at an Intel site...

We drivers have a job to do....Dispatchers have a job to do. What good does it do to call and scream? Treat everyone as you would like to be treated because what goes around comes around.

Same question here Dave. If the Macro 8 isn't really of value, then why have it?

Laptop, wallet and keys..not necessarily in that order

Great ideas from everyone! When it's cold outside, like it is now, we usually sit and watch movies, read, play on the computer. I have also gotten my hubby into crosstitching (shhh don't tell anyone) :P ;) I also crotchet blankets that I give as gifts.

This isn't just a "truckstop" problem. Watch what goes on at your local Golden Corral, Old Country Buffet, etc. :(

>It seems to be hard to remember the good things that happen >when your sitting. Boy is that a true statement! We've been fighting that recently. Just before Christmas, we sat for 4 days in Oregon with no luck on the load boards, before we finally bit the bullet and headed for home. All 3...

We picked up a little 800 watt toaster at Walmart the other day. Couldn't pass up the price of $6.98 and now I'm in heaven! :) I can have peanut butter toast anytime I want it. LOL

"so jump in, and enjoy!" Ker......SPLASH!! :) I read everything on this site, and sometimes it's a little overwhelming but I keep plugging away. So many different points of view make it interesting, and above all, gives an extreme amount of insight and knowledge. Thanks everyone!

I believe you can have pets, but be aware that some of the places you would pick up/deliver to don't allow pets.

That little datacold unit is gathering dust on our truck :( We've done a few reefer loads, but nothing "validated". A "D" unit should work fine, we've had to turn down a few loads because they were too heavy for our little truck

It's working here too. Hope you got in.

Maybe I'm missing something here. If you have a Sprint aircard, then you can use a yahoo, hotmail or whatever email address. Is there a reason you would need to have a sprint specific email address?
