Why should actual laborers be exempt from them? Do you mean to say that if they drive a company truck, then they wouldn't have to pay weight taxes? (I would think it wise to have the company pay taxes for miles driven and weight of the vehicle driven during those miles)

Yeah just because you’re an electrician for your day job doesn’t mean you need to own a pickup to drive to the company office where you’ll drive a company truck to job sites.

I was more thinking contractors or farmers who use their own truck for work. Not people using company trucks

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Sure, if you’re a contractor using your own truck then you should be reimbursed by the company hiring you, which should offset the tax. If you’re a farmer, same thing, unless you own the farm, in which case your truck should be licensed as a commercial vehicle

I'm just trying to get the idea passed people and those two groups are always the ones sea lioned about.

I'm on a site with about 500 electricians right now. The vast majority of them don't drive company trucks. It's really just foremen, the general foreman, superintendent and various project managers and higher-ups.
