<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buzzarddriver, post: 5257593, member: 59926&quot;]Just to explain how company per diem works:</p><p>So, say you get paid 30 cents a mile. You choose per diem pay at 10 cents a mile.</p><p>On your settlement it will show:</p><p>1500 miles at .20/mi = $300 less taxes, ss, medicare, and any other deductions. This is your net pay.</p><p>Then add the .10/mi per diem of $150, which is not taxed to Net pay for your final pay.</p><p>Now, say you average over the years time, 450 miles a day, At .10/mi that equals $45/ day.</p><p>At tax time, you, as a driver governed by Federal HOS rules allowed to claim $63 a day X 80%&nbsp; for each day out on the road. This leave you approx $2.40 for each day that you can add to your tax deduction.</p><p>This is a simplified example, but is just to show how it works.</p><p>By taking the per mile per diem, you bring home more each check. By not taking it, you take the full per diem deduction at tax time and bring home a little less each paycheck.</p><p>Good luck to you no matter which way you decide to go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
