    If you use your phone MOSTLY for business, if you purchased anything for the truck: cleaning supplies, if you used an ATM (your ATM fees are deductable) If you use internet access, a percentage can be deducted,
    entertainment to an extent can be deducted, for example, I have D-TV on my truck and get a deduction there, same with XM Radio
