SORRY TUGHILLRUNNER,
BUT IN YOUR CASE THE DEDUCTION FOR DIEM DOES NOT EXIST. REASON IS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT, AND I SPECIFY NOT AN OVER THE ROAD DRIVER WHO STAYS OUR OVERNIGHT IN A SLEEPERVEHICLE.
IN ORDER FOR YOU TO TAKE THE DEDUCTION YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR HOME TERMINAL AND NOT RETURN UNTIL EITHER 24 HOURS LATER WITH A 8 HOUR BREAK IN A SLEEPER, A DAYCAB IS NOT CONSIDER A SLEEPER UNIT BUT DRIVERS DO SLEEP ON THE DOGHOUSES OR ON THE STEERING WHEELS, BUT AS U SAY YOU ARE HOME EACH AND EVERY EVENING ENJOYING YOUR TV, WIFE AND THE OTHERCONFORTS OF HOME.
