Per Diem Question
- Thread starter MSinger
- Start date
The minimum time is 1/4 day for which you get 1/4 allowance. You take the day you leave by 1/4's plus the days you are out plus the day you return by 1/4's, at least if it's still the way it was explained to me. Consult your accountant to be certain.

Leo, I appreicate you answering for me, I have been very busy so far and this is the first time that I had a chance to even look at my questions here online.
Inorder to take the per diem you must be a truck driver, and cannot run local, meaning if you drive for a company that you are home every night you are not considered for the per diem, But if you occasional do have a load that takes you out overnight where you must get a 10 hour sleep, weather it be in a motel, or in the truck then it is considered as a per diem and you are entitled to that 1 1/2 or 2 days
as being out.
If you have any othere questions please do not hesitate to ask,
Frank
