You CAN claim per diem on your taxes . The long form asks how many days you qualified for it and how much you were compensated . If you were undercompensated you can claim the balance . Drivers on e-logs should ask for monthly printouts for tax purposes .
I worked for Covenant .... Lmao .... Or set for Covenant ... LOL .... if you run solo you're screwed, you will get very short runs and do local work for next to nothing, Payroll is terrible, always a mistake on the check and it's in there favor, very low pay, rude dispatchers, and set for days with no reply on the quallcom, They Just suck, and 22 years of trucking id say this was my worst company, If you can find any.... any other company to work for I would, Good Luck, stay away from Covenant, You would be better off at min wage job, I think my last check was 52.00 dollars, RIP OFF
