Practical vs. Speedometer

Take the .34 practical.

Your retirement years will thank you.

 

Actually, if they use PC Miler to compute the practical, it will only be 2 or 3%. Even on short runs.

If they use Rand McNally practical...it may be as much as 7%.

 

I would also take the practical and AVOID the per diem scam. Per diem plans help the company more than they will ever help the driver.

Do some research on per diem and you will soon understand why it is such a bad deal for the driver.

 

You mean they finally quit calling them hub miles ?

Per diem is a scam! We got 3000ish per diem we were entitled to 5600 deduction on just counting food cost ALONE.

SCAM SCAM SCAM

 

The IRS form will ask you how much you are entitled to , then ask you how much you were reimbursed , then allow you to deduct what you were underpaid . Companies will always underpay because IRS will penalize them if they overpay .
