    3 cents a mile fee. 2500 miles. $75 week. 6000 drivers. Like $400,000 week for mega carrier accounting fees?

    I don't think Price Waterhouse would charge Boeing that much, but I'm just a dummy.

    I'm not good at math.

    $400,000 a week they take from the drivers benefits whom exactly?

    We'll get to the FICA after you convince us the 400 U's they steal from the drivers is beneficial to the drivers.

    Are you trying to say that some bad apple trucking company is ripping drivers off by charging them for taking advantage of company per diem? Which companies are doing this today??

    From my understanding the IRS has made calculating per diems much simpler in recent years and stream lined so that companies don't have to keep actual itemized records.

    On this website, they spell it out. Getting the per diem, taxes saved.

    As far as FICA/SS, yes the company driver got screwed with the 2017 new tax law. It would have been better for the drivers to claim per diem on their own tax returns over company plans. But since that option, self return per diem deductions, was taken away, the savings from income tax (company per diem) far exceeds any benefits lost from FICA/SS payments.
    Take the company per diem.

    Well this post shows you know 0 about this entire situation.

    You're not even a driver.

    Yet you know what all the drivers should do.

    So, I'm just gonna stand by my statements. You can't stay on point, and seem to want to make a political debate out of things.

    Simply go to the politics section, you'll find everything you want there.
