About the show

Episodes are narrated by an AI-generated version of Jordan Sanders' voice. Jordan, a leased owner-operator who drives full-time, writes and checks every script, and every number matches the written guide it comes from. Bookkeeping, not tax or legal advice: questions about deductions and filing belong to your tax preparer.
