i don't know how or why. are you a local driver or something coming home everyday/night? i drove both locally and far off and wandering out passed myself and back again. i don't know how or why someone would elect to drive semis for 25 years. 10 -12 years was plenty enough for me.
this is done on a notebook with pen as driver drives
regularly the co-driver does these things if she/he is awake
if solo driver then do it as ya cross state line
easy peeze
everytime a driver starts out he/she records truck mileage
this is done everyday,,,and state to state miles and midnight miles
midnight miles being important cause its a new day and you are still driving
Do they withhold taxes in only your home state, or are your required to pay taxes in states through which you drive?
Fuel taxes go state by state. Unless you're an owner/operator , the company worries about that.
personal taxes? Its based on your home terminal. Same withholding as other jobs , just do not take local taxes out. From what I understand there are writeoffs/deductions galore being OTR.

yep...there are very specific tax deduction issues....perhaps some of your trucker pals can direct you to a tax guy who handles truckers.

drivin along at a steady slower safer speed is best. when i drove everyone and their grandma's kitchen sink passed me up. not too slow that is hazardous, no. slow...backed out of the crowd ahead has saved my life several times. never be that guy who is a quick stupid dick. those folks fuck things up and cause problems.
i use these rules in my car. i am a dude who will never get a speeding ticket. in a semi tractor trailer i never had a speeding ticket but had all the other tickets they could hand out.
brakes out of adjustment, some kinda light somewhere burnt out, bad air line, and many overloaded citations. never a speeding ticket.
