Working Women Wednesday: Celebrating Women in the Trucking Industry with Boss Girl Trucking

March is Women’s History Month and here at ExpressTruckTax we want to celebrate and highlight the accomplishments of women in the trucking industry. The trucking industry has been a mostly male-dominated industry, but in recent years more and more women have started trucking, some even going as far as starting their own trucking companies. 

Each week in March we will feature different women-owned trucking companies and this week we are focusing on Boss Girl Trucking. 

Boss Girl Trucking is a women-owned trucking company whose mission is “to educate and empower women (&men) who want to get into the trucking industry”.

When asked to provide a quote about her company, she said: “Every life shift begins with a mind shift. From an early age, I was always interested in business and entrepreneurship. I’ve had numerous side hustles over the years. But one day, I finally realized that I had to change my mindset if I was going to be successful in business. After months of research, I decided to dive into the world of trucking with zero experience. I purchased a truck and obtained my own operating authority. I’ve shed tears, made mistakes, nearly went out of business several times, but quitting was not an option. Two trucks later, and a few years of experience under my belt, I am watching my dream unfold before my eyes. The road to success has been a challenging one. But I am a living witness that great things can happen if you don’t give up.”

Boss Girl Trucking is active on Instagram @bossgirltrucking where she regularly posts helpful tips about trucking, credit, and much more. She even has her own Business Credit Ebook as well as a free-to-download New Business Checklist.

Join us in celebrating many women-owned trucking companies this Women’s History Month and help us give these amazing women the recognition they deserve!

Need More Time to File Your Trucking Business Tax Returns?

If you are a trucking business owner who needs to file Forms 1120 and/or 1041, your tax filing deadline is April 15 at midnight! However, if you need more time to file your trucking business taxes there is a solution!

With our sister-product ExpressExtension, you can request an automatic deadline extension of up to 6 months! Here’s how it works.

Form 1120 & 1041 – An Overview

Let’s start with which businesses qualify for a business tax filing deadline extension. Anyone who needs to file Form 1120 or 1041 by April 15 may request an extension with Form 7004. 

Form 1120 was designed for Corporations to report their income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and to figure their income tax liability.

Form 1041, on the other hand, is intended for estates and trusts to report their income etc. Trucking businesses typically are not estates or trusts.

What information is needed to file Form 7004?

Filing Form 7004 is fairly simple as far as tax forms are concerned. You will simply need your business name, business address, and tax-ID/EIN. Plus, ExpressExtension provides simple and concise interview-style prompts to help ensure your return is filled out correctly.

How to claim a tax filing deadline extension with Form 7004?

IRS Form 7004 allows business owners to request additional time to file their business tax forms. You don’t even have to give a reason for needing the extension! With ExpressExtension all you have to do is follow the simple instructions that they provide!

The whole process can be completed in a matter of minutes so that you can get back to driving and worry about your taxes later! Plus, the form can be completed from any device, from anywhere you find yourself. Once the IRS has processed your form, you will be notified via email of your status. 

Once the IRS has approved your return, you will have 6 more months to file your taxes! You will still need to pay your estimated tax amount by April 15, however.
