## Resource

LJ Lowrey spends his time on Planet Earth as a truck driver, but his voice is living at a much higher altitude. The OOIDA member has embraced amateur radio as a hobby, one that keeps him busy on and off the road. Plus, they say there are two certainties in life. We can’t do much to help with one of them, but we can help when it comes to taxes thanks to Barry Fowler of Trucker Tax Tools, who has some sound advice that can help you all year round.
