Paycheck? For yourself? What is all this crazyness about? haha.. (chuckles to self) paycheck for yourself
:lol:
Gah, I ain't seen a paycheck for my since since I stopped being a company driver.. Not saying I lost my ass, but my "company" always ended up with all the money, if I was lucky I could snag a few hundred now and then for myself.
Crazy me wants another truck again too.. wtf

Remember in Ontario when you yanked the e-brake on my rental car after Applebees. Then we took it down the industrial park and beat that Niassan like a rented mule? :lol:
My rental car was a tax write off. Thats prolly why I am going to show a loss 8)

Not quite, closer to 75k or something like that.
But I'm also very lazy. I haven't worked for a month now.

To further clarify, if I did work as hard as most truck drivers, yes my reported income (net) would be over 100k.

I wouldn't call it laziness. It's all about motivation. Actually, selfish as it may seem, I'm glad you're "lazy" because what seems to motivate you is reading up on all this stuff on specs and in the end someone has to do that. Very few are as motivated as you about reading this stuff though we all are the better for it.
Hell maybe in the future you can profit off of it. I think they even have positions in some of these big companies of people who just spec out the new trucks.
