1. Prepare Owner Information
You need to do preparation to get a Tax ID (EIN) Number. The starting point for acquiring the Tax ID (EIN) Number is going to be owner information. The responsible party is what you designate as the owner of a business. To line up the responsible party, you need to choose an individual, not an entity, to be the person who represents the business in the eyes of the Internal Revenue Service.
The responsible party completes the application for the Tax ID (EIN) Number and attests to having control of the funds and assets of the business. Should a disposition of assets ever be necessary for the trucking company, the responsible party carries that out. You need this information, along with other important information such as a principal business address, to go through the application process.
2. Apply for a Tax ID (EIN) Number for a Trucking Business
The easiest way to apply for a Tax ID (EIN) Number is to do so over the internet. Using the internet, you can do the entire application process through the Internal Revenue Service. It starts with accessing the Internal Revenue Service website. Once you gain access to the site, you can begin to enter all the pertinent information. The information includes the owner information, such as the responsible party and the main details about the business. Once you have all the info, you enter it and submit it to the Internal Revenue Service online for verification. The validation work is nearly instant, taking just a few minutes. Once they finish the validation, they return to you the nine-digit unique identifier which is the Tax ID (EIN) Number.
3. Apply for a Tax ID (EIN) Number for a Trucking Business via Mail or Fax
You have other options when it comes to applying for a Tax ID (EIN) Number for your trucking business. The other two main options include applying via mail or fax. The mail application method, as well as the fax method, will involve you physically printing out the application form. With the printed form in-hand, you can complete it and submit it to the Internal Revenue Service.
When you apply by mail, you will be mailing the completed form to the Internal Revenue Service. The fax application will have you sending it to the Internal Revenue Service fax line. Either way, you do it, they will receive it, take several business days to process, before returning to you the confirmation and generation of the nine-digit and unique Tax ID (EIN) Number.
4. Why Do I Need a Tax ID (EIN) Number for Trucking Business?
You need a Tax ID (EIN) Number for your trucking business for a variety of reasons. The first and biggest reason you need the Tax ID (EIN) Number is so you can report and pay all your appropriate taxes. All your business income needs tracking and the IRS uses your number to determine where you have had business activity, what revenue you take in, etc.
You also need to have a Tax ID (EIN) Number when you have employees, to process and pay appropriate payroll taxes. The Internal Revenue Service Tax ID (EIN) Number is important for payroll taxes, and also important to do pretty much any other type of business. If you need to open a business checking account, for example, you will need the Tax ID (EIN) Number.
5. How Do I Get a Tax ID (EIN) Number for a Trucking Business?

everyone knows that time goes faster as you get older. previously i believed that this was due to the fact that a given unit of time would comprise a smaller percentage of your total memories. but what of the fact that i barely remember *anything* (temporal experiences, that is. i’m full of knowledge of varying usefulnesses). my brain is not some kind of storage device that records my whole history linearly, and therefore the idea of percentage of memories is total bull.
i just had a thought while talking to my mom on the telephone: what if the perceived increase in the passage of time is the same at any point for all our consciousnesses? now, i’m not suggesting an accelerating constant across all conscious beings or anything like that. it would seem to me to be something tied closely with individual cultures - groups of consciousnesses.
that was the bulk of what i wanted to get down. that its not that all 22-year-olds will feel time accelerating at the same rate. but that everyone with generally the same experiences do.
thinking more about it, it would be very easy to tie this observation to a culture’s use of technology… but the fact that both technology and our perception of time are both accelerating would be a very weak correlation.
i more notes related this subject from a few years ago in my paperlog, i wonder if i should re-visit them? (i just passed matt the book, we’ll see what he thinks)

Please Wait
Matt showed me where your blog was hiding. But I have a suggestion.
Maybe as you get older you have more points of references to gage exactly how fast time is moving. When you’re a kid, what do you really have to do in day? Practically nothing. You’ve only really only got one sign post : Bed Time. And if you complain well enough, that is a variable post.
But when you get older, you have more things to do so you have more points of reference.
To further my pointer: Consider a man, sitting in the most perfect train in the world. So this train moves seemlessly, no bumps no cracks, and the only way you can tell you’re moving is if you look out the window and see the scenery is going by. Now take away all external points of reference. If the motion remains constant you never notice that you’re even moving. There’s gotta be some jolt to let you know you’ve changed speeds (and I am going to assume it doesn’t exist here). Or there’s gotta be some scenery, otherwise you’d never really know how fast you were going).
So I am going to extrapolate on this more. Yes that’s right, evidently I have an assignment due eventually and this is how I procrastinate hah hah. Anyway here’s my thought. I am basing this on a video I once saw called “Imagining the 10 dimensions” or something like that. I thought the way they explained the fourth dimension and our experience of it as three dimensions creatures was nifty…so here’s my idea.
If we move through space time at a constant rate, in something like the perfect train, the only way that we notice we’re moving is if we look at various posts along the way to notice the scenery changing. There are things that change when you’re a kid, but do you really notice them? There’s nothing like in “in 3 days I’ve gotta finish the assignment” [true story]. There’s never anything you have to do that you’re looking at. Here’s how I further compare childhood to growing up.
If all the scenery is exactly the same when you look out the window you never notice that you’re moving either. And then say you’ve got like a random pole. And these random poles are spread very very far apart. So you can measure the distance between your post with help from your watch and get an idea of how fast you’re going. But if the posts are REALLY far apart, that will take a LONG time. And in between all those posts you never really know, you just do your thing. BUT if you’ve got
