Hello Jacqueline, and welcome to our forum!
We haven't heard from "Photogirl" in a long time, but you might try putting her name in the search bar on this page and see what comes up. Here's an Old Thread Of Hers About Training At Millis.
Millis is a great company. They haul dry van and do not go to all lower 48 states. As far as Per Diem goes, it puts more money in your pocket every week and lowers your taxable income. I love it.
Getting paid per diem means getting a portion of your salary paid to you without taxes taken out. It's technically classified as a meal and expense reimbursement.
Truck drivers and others who travel for a living get large tax deductions for meal expenses. The Government set up per diem pay as a way to reimburse some of the taxes you pay with each paycheck instead of making you wait until tax filing season.
Getting per diem pay means a driver will get a larger paycheck each week but a smaller tax return at tax time.
We have a ton of information on our wiki page on per diem pay

Thanks in advance for any helpful information.
