hey BURKY, can you tell me how true this is:
the local "block-head" told me today when i did my taxes "the standard deduction is 10K dollars. so if you can't save up that many dollars worth of receipts it isn't beneficial to itemize"
Write offs?

Is the per diem your meals deduction?
So you can deduct meals for every you're on the road?
What about if you buy your own food to stock your cooler?
Is that deductible?

So from what I read you can't deduct the cell phone as an expense? Don't you use it to contact the dispatcher, shipper, receiver, other business needs? I know I am waiting to get my trucking job to justify a new laptop with mapping software. then I can write it off.

you guys mean to say that as a company driver,with no dependants,I can add up my meals,showers,gps and whatever else is legal and come up with like $20,000 in write offs?So,as a new driver and say making $40,000,then my taxable income would be $20,000?Thats fantastic if you make your own meals!Or am I getting it wrong? Thanks
