The percentage deductible (assuming you do not use the table rate) is 70% for a truck driver compared to 50% for the rest of us.

In the United States ....
If you are a truck driver and you spend over-night on the road more than 60 miles from your home terminal, then you may be eligible to get a $40 / day allowance for expenses on the road. Talk to your accountant or tax-preparer for more information on how to claim the allowance.
