Crete Carrier - A Year In Review - Fall 2013 Going Forward

Any takers on the Per Diem?

 

I like the extra cash at the end of the year.

 

With the increase in standard deduction..from $12,000 to $24,000 next year..for married couples...or from $6,000 to $12,000 for singles...kind of makes up....for the loss of per diem deduction

 

Also having to pay .01 per mile...Forever taken out.....just to have per diem on weekly pay....pissed me off ....Crete couldn't cover that .01 charge..per diem is a great bargain for Crete...since they now have to contribute less..in matching federal taxes..to the per diem drivers federal tax bill

 

And what is with the .01 per mile charge anyway...once the accounting company programs it in...it will be done from then on automatically...never heard of other companies...charging drivers an ongoing fee..to have per diem on their pay

 

Winning!!! ??
Just think that the American farmers are getting screwed a lot more than you are.

 

I don't see how the American farmer....even makes any profit at alll..yes they are getting screwed

 

It’s called an administration fee and some companies charge up to $.03 cpm for it. A penny a week is $25 dollars based on 2500 miles.

Who in their right ‘effin mind would give that kind of money away? Shows exactly what a company thinks of their employees if they resort to that kind of nonsense.

 

Takers on per diem?? Are you saying Crete pays drivers per diem??

 

You still at Crete?? Are you happy?? Please give me some miles for an update. I was thinking about going there.
Do they pay per diem?
