Line Haul Deduction
Topic 9768 | Page 1
Hmmm. I never heard of that. Are you getting paid per diem by chance? I don't know what that could be. Maybe it's just an "honest mistake" as companies like to call it when they "accidentally" take money from you or "forget" to pay you for some of the loads you've hauled.
Per Diem:
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.

Can some one tell me what is a line haul deduction? My company just took over $200 from my check and labeled it "line haul deduction". Keep in mind I am a company driver not owner-operator.
That's a call to payroll for either an explanation or a refund.
I did a Google search on "Line haul deduction". Nothing explains it on a pay stub or a settlement.
Line Haul:
Linehaul drivers will normally run loads from terminal to terminal for LTL (Less than Truckload) companies.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning them to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.New Reply:
