Trucking Taxes Explained: Write-Offs, Audits and Accounting Tips

This 40-minute conversation could save trucking companies, owner operators, and fleet owners hundreds — if not thousands — of dollars in accounting fees, tax mistakes, and bad business decisions.

In this episode, Ronen sits down with Matthew from M7 Group, a tax and accounting firm that specializes in the trucking industry and works with clients across Canada and the United States.

They discuss some of the biggest financial questions in trucking, including the most profitable types of trucking, how to properly purchase your next semi truck, when it makes sense to scale your fleet, and which business expenses can legitimately be written off during tax season.

They also cover how trucking business owners can properly employ a spouse or children through a corporation, and what companies should know before facing a CRA or IRS audit.

🚛 In this video we cover:

Home Time Semi-Truck Driver vs Truck Dispatcher 💥

What happens when dispatch treats a truck driver’s home time and legal limits like they’re negotiable?

A load needs to move, but that doesn’t mean you should be pressured to ignore the rules or sacrifice your planned home time just to make it happen.

Don't settle for a company that does not value you. You may have more options than you realize, and today’s technology can make it easier to see what else is out there for you.

Semi-Truck Miles Per Gallon Fuel Consumption ⛽

Two semi-trucks can drive the same number of miles and generate similar revenue, but the more fuel-efficient truck can have a major operating-cost advantage 🚛

Using diesel at $5.35 per gallon, a semi-truck averaging 6 MPG would cost approximately $8,900 a month on fuel. At 8 MPG, that drops to around $6,700.

That’s a $2,200 monthly difference.

Owner-operators: What MPG are you averaging? 🤔

Will Canadian TRUCKING Companies Actually Get Any HELP from this Tariff War?

Canada just announced a major new tariff response package — and Canadian trucking companies need to pay attention.

In this video, Ronen breaks down Canada’s latest tariff war update, including the government’s new $7.5 billion support package for Canadian workers and businesses affected by tariffs. This includes new funding for small and medium-sized businesses, a BDC liquidity stream, expanded access to tariff-related programs, and worker support programs designed to help employers during difficult periods.

One of the biggest updates is that the BDC tariff-related program revenue threshold is being lowered to $1 million. That could potentially open the door for many Canadian trucking companies, small fleets, and even some owner operators with multiple trucks to qualify for support.

Ronen also explains Canada’s retaliatory tariffs against the United States, which are set to begin September 8 and could affect $27.6 billion worth of American products, including freight that truck drivers regularly haul.

The big question now is whether Canadian trucking companies can actually access this money — not just hear about it in a press release, but apply, get approved, and receive real support when they need it.

If your trucking company has received tariff assistance, reach out and share what program you used, how long approval took, and whether it actually helped.

Tariffs Are Back! Will Canadian Truckers Get Help?!

Canada is facing another round of U.S. tariffs as high as 50%, and once again, we’re hearing that support is coming for affected businesses.

I’ve heard that before. When ET Transport’s gross sales dropped approximately 23% in April 2025, we went looking for assistance. The programs existed, but meaningful help wasn’t easy to access.

That’s why I want to know who qualifies, how long it takes, and whether small and mid-sized trucking companies are actually receiving support. If tariffs reduce cross-border freight, carriers could be fighting over fewer loads while truck payments, insurance, wages and maintenance stay the same.

Have you received tariff support? Tell me which program you used and how the process worked.

Dispatcher Demands the IMPOSSIBLE From a Semi-Truck Driver ❌

Dispatch says 350 miles should take 5 hours: 350 ÷ 70 MPH. Simple, right?

The driver says closer to 7. A semi-truck doesn’t average 70 MPH for the entire trip—especially heading into New Jersey 🚛

Drivers and dispatchers: who’s being realistic?

What Really Happened the Day Lion Force Shut Down 🚛

I sat down with Harry from Lion Force to understand what happened on May 15, the day the company officially shut down.

According to Harry, the receiver arrived at approximately 6:30 p.m. and locked the doors while trucks and trailers were still on the road or in the yard—and some trailers still contained customer freight.

Harry says Lion Force proposed a two-week wind-down to notify everyone, complete the remaining deliveries and return the equipment to the terminal. According to him, the receiver chose a different approach.

So, how should a trucking company handle its people, equipment, and customer freight during a sudden shutdown? Let me know your thoughts in the comments 👇
