I recently attended the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) annual conference in Dallas less than two weeks ago. This was the first time Sokolis had participated. It was also the first time I’ve ever been in Texas and what they say about everything being bigger held true. The conference had a pretty good turnout. It wasn’t the biggest I’ve been to
Let’s talk about deals. What’s a deal? Think you have one? Are you happy with your deal? Some people don’t even know there are deals.
A winter power outage is no picnic – especially during a sub-zero arctic blackout. A standby generator is a great insurance policy against spending the night in a crowded hotel or, worse yet, a relative’s house. A generator is a handy item for many purposes.

As a CPA, I’ve been dealing with taxes for my entire career. To be honest, it’s a part of my job that I really don’t enjoy. There are so many different tax rates and so many inconsistencies when comparing different states, or even counties within the same state. Plus, taxes are always changing!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and stayed safe. It was a little weird this year with Christmas and New Year’s landing on a Wednesday.
