life at Roehl ...grc

You know at my school we have a '99 Freight Buggy that is in really good shape. 430 Detroit, super 10 and 757K on it. Western Express donated it. $5000-8000 is what it is worth.

Western sells their old trucks as a side business.

 

grc56 you are correct about the per diem. when companys make it manditory to take per diem its not for the drivers benifit! Im assuming on the o/o side
per diem is not a issue? Hope things work out for you.

 

I've done it both ways. It doesn't really matter. Your checks are bigger on per diem because there are less taxes coming out. But you get a smaller tax refund at end of the year. Who cares what your gross income is? All I care about is the net.

 

You might change your mind when you apply for a loan,
or a credit card, or buying a home. also your social security and workmans comp,and disibility benifits all reduced. It will affect you more than you know, meanwhile these companys are making money with our money and we are paying for it! If you are happy with
per diem great, but when companys make it manditory
who do you really think is the benifactor?

 

Amen brother!

 

I have to agree, per deim isn't for our benifit, but it has helped me. I've been trying to short sale my house, and I had to show a loss of income, thanks to per diam, I was able to show an even larger loss of income

 

Sorry to hear that, I read your posts and respect your views and opinion. what ever the reason for your
decision I wish you luck and be safe!
