truckers' deductable expenses
This is a list some people on here may recognize. the company that I drive for gives this to all of its drivers. It is a list of everything that a driver can use as a tax deduction. There may be a lot of companies that give this out, I've only drove for one company so I don't know, but it seems like there are a lot of truckers asking about what they can and can't right off so here it is...
