I'd like to know when I can drive my truck from my phone! Then I can sit at home and get paid to babysit the truck instead of actually having to be there!
I still think,give it some time,once the highways are full of driverless vehicle’s. Cars and trucks both,then a hack attack takes the controls of a semi and takes it for a ride into a crowd,or building causing massive damage. Nothing seems totally safe anymore when the control is computer based.....
 
Luckily, no serious injury!

This will likely be a major break in the investigation. Package tracking, location scanning, video, etc, should narrow it down, significantly. Big data will now bust this perp...
Told ya...

"A confluence of factors makes today’s situation different, says Gordon Klemp, president of the National Transportation Institute: A rebounding ecomony, a historically tight labor market and regulation-driven productivity losses all are conspiring to bring trucking’s underlying labor problem into full view."
 
Deductions And W-4s: Early 2018 Responses to Tax Reform

"Many employers are electing to make additional employer qualified plan contributions for the 2017 tax year when the employer’s tax rate may be higher and thereby yield a bigger tax benefit. C corporations, in particular, whose federal income tax rate in 2017 was as high as 35%, may find worthwhile to make further 2017 plan contributions, such as discretionary profit sharing contributions, if permitted under their 401(k) plans (up to the general defined contribution plan limit of 25% of compensation), rather than make the same contributions for 2018 when the company’s tax rate is a flat 21%. But in order to secure the deduction for the 2017 tax year, the deduction must be made by the April 17, 2018 deadline for filing the Form 1120 corporate tax return. Provided, however, if the corporation timely files by April 17 for a 6 month extension, it can make a deductible qualified plan contribution for the 2017 year as late as October 15, 2018."

"Finally, employees should be encouraged by employers to review and revise their declared W-4 allowances in early 2018 to account for the many individual tax changes made by the Act. These include the tax rate changes, changes to allowable deductions for state and local taxes and mortgage interest and the elimination of the personal exemption coupled with the near doubling of the standard deduction from $6,500 to $12,000 for singles and from $13,000 to $24,000 for married couples. To assist employees, the IRS issued new wage withholding tables in January, a new form W-4 on February 28th and an online withholding calculator to assist employees in revising their W-4 allowances (See updated withholding IRS Calculator)."
