My last manual tarp load :)
 

I'm returning to Canada with a load that I had to cover with 2 steel tarps. This is the last time I did this as on January 4th I'm dropping my stepdeck at a Conestoga dealer who'll install a rolling tarp system. Dispatch isn't too happy as they say I'll lose some loads but said they'll work with me. Anyone wants 5 month old tarps with a couple of holes - see my ad in the For Sale by Owner section.

That's great news, I'm sure you will enjoy the new system.

I posted a message on your blog a while back. I have a set of almost brand new Michelin X-one singles I'm selling. The would help offset the additional weight from the rolling tarp.

Shoot me an e-mail if you are interested. [email protected]

Enjoy your trip to FL.

Thanks!!

Tracer are you billing it through in 2009? I'd get get it in for this years taxes if possible. Thats assuming your year end is Dec 31. I see my neighbour is with MacKinnon with a step with a slider also.

Scott, I don't have the rims for them. It'd be too expensive for me to upgrade to a single tire setup.

I assume you're talking about the rolling tarp? They way they set up financing I'll depriciate the system over a few years instead of writing off the monthly payments. I know it's 30% a year for the trailer, I"ll just have to find the percentage for the rolling tarp system... It's probably the same.

You probably just add the cost of the tarping system to the value of the trailer, so it is the same, 30% per year.

Hey, I should have been more clear. I have tires and aluminum wheels that were on my flatbed.

Thanks!

You could put it through as a cost of doing business. Same as repairing your truck or repairing you side kit (if you had one) Everyone is different but I'd probably keep it separate from the rest of the trailer and write off the monthly payments until it's payed for.

How much are them super singles?

Makes sense. Canada Revenue Agency is going to be very disappointed at the end of the tax year :)
