Loss of perdiem next year

They don't want to do that if they think they can get away with converting some portion of your cpm pay to non-taxed per diem which is crap IMO

It's a no-win situation for the hard core OTR drivers and for many other OTR drivers, this new tax plan will be a wash, at best.

But the carriers will love it. Especially the ones that can move a lot of drivers to a twisted Per Diem plan.

 

I agree.

When I worked construction, I was paid per diem. Get that? I was PAID per diem. Extra pay. Non taxed. On top of, and separate from my hourly pay. Nobody should accept anything less.

 

I was told the same information by my CPA. I itemized all receipts from prior year and was informed the new tax plan was doing away with that for 2018. That's part of the reason I'm becoming an O/O and no longer a company driver. As an O/O almost everything is deductible as a business expense.

 

Seems everyone is coming around to realize per diem is gone.Now what??

 

You take company paid per diem ...

 

Don't forget to throw in the conservative press as well.
If you're a Republicrat, you're part of the problem.

 

I agree; however, I would also add to the above formula equal pay for everyone. We all work hard, we all take risks; no matter what our positions are.
One flat pay, one flat tax.
Don't let anyone fool you; that's a true democracy... not the big commie threat that's been shoved down our throats for the past 70 years.

 

You can't be serious. And then you immediately say you want no part of "the big commie threat being shoved down our throats"? You expect/want a "true democracy"? That's the most senseless string of comments I've read here in a long time. Completely contradictory and just plain wrong statements. Where did you get the notion we were supposed to be a "true democracy"? I don't think you want to live in a "true democracy" but you're entitled to your goofy ideas, I suppose.

 

Everyone else got a tax cut but you.
