 Percent Ok, here's my first question but after reading a bit more confused on this per diem. My husband drives for company, flatbedder, gets 28% of the load. The company pays a per diem, they take the taxes out of the weekly load and then add in the per diem... I have read where company per diem is not a good thing and seems like it to me also, wondering about the right offs?? One of my questions is why is it not good and second question is... how are we supposed to file on this or what deductions... Rambling I am, I know, but my mind is not bending around this..lol Any info would be appreciated... Thank you   |

There is no such thing as a "BACK-HAUL" everything has a start and stop point, If it needs to be moved then it is a load, period. Insurance, tires, fuel,etc... aren't any cheaper heading towards your home than they are going away. BACKHAUL is BS.  |

I spoke with my boss and asked if per diem were a possibility to exempt some of the compensation from personal income taxes. He replied that he had indeed paid per diem in the past, BUT some of the drivers complained that since the per diem was not reported as income, it reduced the amount of reported income/wages that could be used to secure a loan, such as a home loan, auto or boat loan, etc. So he eventually did away with per diem payments and instead folded the monies into the paycheck as wages. |
