Millis OTR journal

Thank you very much for the "consult a professional" statement. I wanna scream that from a mountaintop. Look people, stop asking us. Ask someone who knows your personal situation.

 

No. We only get the quarterly.

 

That 24k deduction, from what I am reading, is the tax code for 2018. No matter what, it won't affect me. My wife and I always file married but separate. One more time I will say consult a professional. Even with the new changes I'm further ahead. Getting over 12k is not only hope, it's a laid-down guarantee. I don't even fault folks for being curious anymore. I never came into this profession with the mindset of picking a company and running with them forever. I'm buying a truck in the next couple months and moving on. My stuff is relevant because folks should make an informed decision even if they want to be a company driver for the rest of their lives. Set yourself up correctly, and don't go in blindly. I want Millis to succeed because they are beyond amazing. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone that will listen. Even when I am going down the road in my own truck. I am 100% loyal to Millis because they are amazing. But sorry man, I can't support the stupid reasoning for split pay. You can try to argue it, and that's cool. I'm sticking with what I can see in front of me. It's like religion. If you want to believe it so bad, show me what you can actually prove. If you ain't got proof, move on and keep your ridiculous beliefs to yourself.

 

Just so you know, it's a complete myth that you have to hang on to receipts. The per diem deduction is set up so you don't have to do that. The only receipts I have to hang on to are the ones for anything I buy for the truck. And extras like paid parking and occasional incidentals not related to food, showers, and lodging. Which, by the way, you would have to do anyways even on the per diem plan.This is what I was talking about. You were sold something that isn't correct. Do you, Boo. But I know what the deal is because I'm looking at a destination that is beyond your horizon.

 

@JOHNQPUBLIC I'd love to sit down and talk to you in person some day, preferably over a beer. I have no doubt at all that you could take the research I've already done to the next level. I know where you went after Millis. Good company. I'd be more interested in where you settled, because I'm curious what your knowledge has lead you to. You're awesome and I appreciate that you have shared your time here.

 

Nope
