Why Per Diem Payments Matter for Trucking Companies and Drivers

Per diem payments offer important benefits for both drivers and trucking companies. Let’s take a look.

How Per Diem Increases Driver Take-Home Pay

Per diem payments provide a daily allowance for expenses like meals and incidentals, when drivers are away from home. This allowance is tax-free and will put more money in the drivers pocket.
