RE: DEADHEAD MILES
Frank will probably have a better answer but for now - The IRS will ask for a breakdown of mileage for business , private , and commuting use . If you unload and then deadhead directly for another load ( but maybe head to a hotel or truck stop while waiting ) the deductions are the same as loaded . If you take time off to go visiting or sightseeing , these miles are classified as private use . It can be a real headache sorting it out . Anybody running a truck really needs to have their bookkeeping handled by a tax professional . You can save a lot of money getting guidance on deductions from day one instead of finding what you missed out on at tax time .
