Huh?

just because they don't pay you per diem doesn't mean that you can't still use the per diem allowance for transportation workers on your tax return. Getting paid per diem just gets your tax break on the front end.
77smartin Thanks this. -
and it's not free money from the gov't, it just reduces your taxable income to compensate for having to travel for work. Regional drivers note that you can only claim per diem for the nights you were not home. If you are audited you need proof, like logs or a documented schedule. I used my trip log with dates and trip numbers.
