As a truck driver, what can I write off as deductions?
Any reasonable and necessary expense directly related to the operation and maintenance of your business can likely be deducted from your taxable income. Every situation is different, so the best way to determine write-offs for truck drivers is for them to speak to an experienced tax accounting firm.
Speaking generally, some of the most common write-offs include business cell phones, vehicle maintenance, and repairs, vehicle depreciation, logbooks, driver technology, some truck improvements, fees for licensing and regulatory compliance, vehicle/trailer leasing costs, flat-rate excise taxes, and occupational taxes, vehicle mileage, fuel expenses paid out of pocket, loan interest on equipment, and liability insurance premiums.
