Mid-City Truck Driving Academy

Earning $70,000 a year sounds impressive, but your actual take-home pay depends on what you keep after taxes. Compared to many other careers, CDL truck drivers often retain more of their income thanks to significant tax advantages built into the profession. Because the road is your workplace, you can deduct a wide range of essential business expenses. Common write-offs include laptops, internet service, satellite radio subscriptions, cell phones and service plans, toiletries, cleaning supplies, uniforms, work boots, and tools. You may also qualify for a $52 daily per diem for meals.
