Questions about Life on the Road

Trainer I had told me he delivered a load of tires somewhere once. For some reason, he said they told him he had to unload em. He had a trainee with him and trainee refused to help. Said it about killed him. No way I would have done it.

 

When I drove for USA Truck I hauled a bit of tires out of Spartanburg SC. Every load I can remember said driver was responsible to help unload. I never did. In fact I got told once to go either sit in the break room or my truck.

 

I sold tires about 20 years ago. Hated it. lol

May have to try the baking soda thing.

This topic is out of control! Haha but funny

 

From what I gather, it means you will be getting paid 14 cents per mile as your per diem. This is part of the CPM rate they said you would get so it won't be 38c or 40c PLUS 14c. Whatever you get paid as per diem obviously cannot be claimed on your tax returns if you itemize. If you per diem pay is less than the total per diem you are entitled to them you can claim the difference.

The key thing is finding out if your company will charge you for administration of this per diem pay.

Did they give you the choice of opting out of the per diem program?.
