    Okay, lets assume you have a 2nd truck and driver.

    Are you fine with them using the buisness card to buy food on the road? If you are, will you deduct it from their check?

    Treating yourself one way and a driver another way in this is essentially embezzling from yourself, not the ideal way to run a buisness.

    So your saying I should treat myself as an employee of my business who just happens to own the business?
