LOL, it gives me part... but you know all these instructions are geared towards things with only 4 wheels... lol... I think I found what I wanted. About vehicles over 6000 lbs GVW under section 179 the year bought you can expense $25,000 then depreciate the rest, starting that same year. So I think I'm good. Thanks

Well the trucks buy out was under 20k and we did most of it in '08 so I think I am good
is the a publication that actually talks about big rigs? Ever year I go nuts trying to remember where to find the meal allows and % to deduct every year... I think that is in pub 463... I wonder if they are going to have that one updated online before Feb....Thank you all for your guidance

For a couple of years you could deduct 100% of the purchase price in the year it was purchased up to a certain amount of money. I believe it was something like $200,000. It might have been less. It was a plan Bush initiated to help stimulate the economy. I don't think it was available last year but you may want to check if you need the deduction. If not, then I would use the regular schedule.

Not sure if this link will help, but I stumbled upon it while looking at new trucks and it seems somewhat along the lines of what you're looking for. Good Luck!
