What is Per Diem?

The IRS allows truck drivers who are away from home overnight to deduct a daily meal and incidental expense allowance — called per diem. For 2025, the standard rate is $80/day for CONUS travel. Drivers can deduct 80% of that amount. Most drivers never claim this — and leave real money on the table every year.
