Per diem is a rip off. You ONLY get it on paid miles and most companies have a daily cap. To make your government daily allowance of $52 per day, you will need to run 577 miles EVERY DAY. Any more or any less and you are taking it in the a$$. So if you're not going to average 4039 miles a week, and believe me, you're not, you are gonna get screwed.
Not to mention taking a big hit on social security, gross stated income, and workmans comp.

SRT,CRST,JB HUNT,Con Way,Swift...You name it i called and sent apps to them all! and its all the same old story.
