Per Diem in trucking seems rather odd to me. When I worked as a cell tower engineer, my per diem was in addition to my pay rate; about an extra $100 per day while on the road. Weird.
Years later I was a field engineer and while I didn’t get per diem per se, I did have a company credit card that I used for hotels, flights, rentals, food and incidentals. Weird.
Weird how the trucking industry wants to pay you less, charge you for it, and make it sound like their doing you a favor.
All they are actually doing is saving themselves a boat load of money on FICA.
I would never agree to pay someone so they can pay me less taxable income. But, PT Barnum said it best. -
