Lightweight trucks at Prime

I'm a new driver fresh out of school looking to go to work with Prime Inc. I've heard about their lightweight trucks with limited sleeper space. Can anyone who works there tell me if you have a choice not to take the lightweight?

Perdiem

Thanks for the info

Short answer - no.

Do you have a TAX HOME (that is a legitimate residence for tax purposes)?

Per Diem is for "meals and incidentals". It can be deducted from your taxes. Getting paid Per Diem in advance, the $$ is "untaxed". "Technically", it should be declared as a deduction by itemizing deductions. There is likely more you can deduct, other non-reimbursed expenses related to OTR trucking - plus the difference of additional allowable Per Diem. The advance Per Diem is deductible @ 100%, the non-advanced at 80%.

Perdiem

A trucking company says they will not tax 20% of my gross wages weekly for perdiem. Will I have to pay taxes on that non taxed income?
