<p>[QUOTE="Tip, post: 157711, member: 2613"]Relax, brother. You could be doing a LOT worse. I remember I used to drive for companies that would short me 10&#37; on miles as regularly as clockwork.

You're doing great compared to that. No, I couldn't write off those miles I had to give away, either. I needed proof that I actually didn't get paid for the miles when I actually did drive them. I didn't know how to get that proof. Today I'd try to see if I could get records from Q-comm, assuming I drove for a company that uses satellite tracking. Of course, I wouldn't be driving for a company that stiffed me on more than about 2% of my miles, either.
