If he really wanted to do good, the op's video, he would be going after Congress (Republican led) in the recent tax law changes that screwed company drivers out of this personal deduction. I feel so much better off. NOT

And then, to add additional injury, some companies want to charge the driver 1-2 cents per mile to pay you the per diem. They call it admin fee. The computer payroll program does all the figuring, so how hard is that to figure out.

Metallica88 Thanks this. -
Video is completely incorrect. Since the new Trump tax law came into effect, it's mathematically better (as a company driver) to take the per diem even with the company's reduction in pay. Owner operators and lease operators are likely still better taking the old method of per diem, but that will heavily depend on their miles, spouse's/household income (and thus tax bracket), their business entity type, the amount taken by the company they operate for, and more.
