I do not know the rate per day any more because I am not allowed to take it any more. I am home every night on the job I have now.
But this is how it works. You are allowed as a truck driver to take off $XXX a day for meals. No recites are needed. The only thing you need to prove is that you were out of town on that day. Your log book will do this.
At the end of the year you claim the days you were gone times the amount per day. 250x55=13750 Then you will deduct what ever your employer gave you. It will be listed on the W2. 100,000 miles x .05 = 5000 So you would have 13750-5000= 8750 as your meal deduction. If I remember correctly this gets divided by a percentage to get the true amount you can deduct.
Anything else you buy besides meals such as unreimbursed motel bills you need to save the recites.
Some of these over the road guys could help you better but that is basically how it works.
