CPM or forced per diem pay at May?

Dont let them pay you per diem .. That is a tax right off for You. May will take the tax right off if ya take their per diem pay ... But, for some its ok.

just my opinion.

 

I am on per diem right now for the larger checks each week instead of taking the money back at tax time. However, if I end up staying for more than a year I will go to CPM because per diem lowers your reported income, which screws up things like workman's comp, social security, loan approvals, ect.

For me it is a short term thing, long term you are better off with CPM.

 

per Diem is a corrupt system used by the trucking companys to defraud the goverment in obtaining tax free money from the per diem of which was created to benefit the drivers.Opinion of myself and many other truckers.10-4

 

Not really true with loans and so on. You need to show them yer actual gross, not your net.

just like me, am an owner op .. What I gross and what I net are off by over 100k a year. But i got my loan for this truck on what I grossed.

Looks good on loan app that gross (and can prove by settlements) is almost 200k .. The bank was like .. Please, sign here ..lol

 

Does May have forced per diem?

 

No .. But they push it on newbies telling them they make more money .. May wants that Tax Write Off .. Thats for the Drivers.

 

I didn't think they did.

 

Scooter .. Who ya run for?
