Into. Company To O/o

You have done the estimated quarterly business taxes for a year-12 months?
Well Sid, what would you say to me if I thought I wanted to be an owner operator?
Owner Operator:
An owner-operator is a driver who either owns or leases the truck they are driving. A self-employed driver.
You have done the estimated quarterly business taxes for a year-12 months?
Should have stated: You have NOT done the estimated quarterly business taxes for a year-12 months?
This will hopefully end well but my question is, why would you have the cc on when there was a possibility of black ice? Or did your truck just randomly slam on the brakes with no cc? Just curious.
I would ask "what did you learn from the accident and why did you want to take on so much risk after realizing you are not immune to accidents?"
I want to know your gross revenue, your total operation costs, and your total tax. What is your avg cpm and your avg operation cost per mile?
please answer when you get those numbers.
CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

Exactly what I was thinking...CC regularity behaves in that fashion.
My On Guard will work even if im not on cruise. Just happened to me today as a matter of fact. I was in atlanta traffic and definitely not on cruise. i can push the pedal harder to override it. in winter i usually dont chop the ice off so it blocks the radar
This is a Bendix system not on guard..but was the same in my other truck.
Rainy.. you're just 68 miles south of me lol.. which way you headed? I'm headed to Indy but on my break.

Hello, i was lurking around a couple years ago and now I'm back with a bit more knowledge.
Short version of my story. I drove for a mega for two years. I trained for one year. I got into a dot reportable accident a year ago when my truck slammed on its own brakes while i was on black ice and a curve. I got fired.
Called around and nobody would hire me so then took the money i had saved from working to purchase a truck. I got my own authority, ultra high insurance, and started running loads.
I am currently finishing up my first year of being an o/o, which the only thing i haven't done for the year is my taxes, which i have a cpa.
Anyways, i know this board is mainly for company drivers, but if anybody had questions on thinking to be an o/o, i could possibly provide some insight.
Thank you brett and the mods for making this board for us.
