just got my CDL A and bought my own truck what all do i do to become a owner operater

Didnt the daily per diem allowance get pulled from truckers a year ago?

 

Not for O/O

 

he can find an accountant in his area, or even if he joins the OOIDA, they very well may have a list of accountants he can contact.

an ordinary CPA , many or may not be able to handle trucking related issues...mine however, is not only a CPA, but a tax lawyer and financial adviser, all under one roof.

but frankly with me being (now a former company driver), he was able to just use the standard deductions for me. i never had enough of any expenses to warrant any more that that.

 

Great looking rig Piston! And it’s paid for.....

Best of luck, I have a feeling you will be just fine.

 

So he never gave you the per diem deduction? Or you were never away from home as a company driver?

 

never really away for long, at least, not after my first year. and frankly, i didn't want the per diem.

 

Did you find a job?
