FAQ
Company driver vs owner-operator — different filings?
Completely. W-2 company drivers have almost nothing to file beyond the 1040; owner-operators run a business return with 2290, IFTA, per-diem and depreciation — where the real savings live.
How does the per-diem deduction actually work?
DOT hours-of-service workers deduct a fixed daily meal amount for nights away from home terminal — we track eligible days from your logs and apply the current rate at filing.
