    I am solo, look at the driving hours. Even a team truck wouldn't display both driver's miles at the same time.

    No need for a mechanic visit, it's not the truck, it's the driver. :cool:

    That really doesn't clarify it, though. Are you a lease driver with an ungoverned truck? Even then, 1400 miles in 11 hours is a buck-twenty-seven and change for average mph.

    It’s a computer glitch folks. No way he turned those miles.

    Hey, not so loud. I wanna see how many drivers march into the shop demanding their trucks also get turned up to 140mph. ;)

    The QC corrected itself after a few minutes. Still freaked me out when I first saw it. :eek:

    That's correct and why
    Its gonna help you for taxes and put you in a lower bracket.You cannot claim per diem as a company driver anymore so the way to do it is have the company give you per diem.Check out kevin Rutherford on facebook and he explains it
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    Will have to see how things play out next tax filing. I would have owed $400 if I used standard deduction. Itemizing and claiming per diem meant I got back over $400. If I wind up having to pay out again next year and don't have the benefit of per diem itemizing, then it's one more nail in the OTR coffin.
