Sure, you may have a $70,000 a
year salary but how much do you actually
get to keep after taxes? Driving a truck with a CDL enables you to keep
more of your earnings compared to most other occupations due to
incredible tax breaks for CDL Drivers.
CDL truck drivers can deduct almost anything and everything
they
purchase because it is all work related. Some items included in the
list for CDL drivers: Laptop computers, internet service, satellite
radio and subscription, cell phones and bills, all toiletries and
cleaning products, uniforms and boots, tools, topped off with a $52
dollar a day per diem for meals.
The list of tax breaks for CDL jobs goes on and on. Put it
all together
at tax time and a truck driver with a CDL keeps almost every penny he
earns. This gives a truck driver with a commercial drivers license more
buying and investing power over a job with a similar gross income. It's
not how much you make that counts, it's how much you actually keep that
is important. CDL Truck drivers keep more!
If you are in the market for a career change, you may want to
give
getting a CDL some serious thought. There are CDL jobs in this industry
that pay $65,000 + and you can be home everyday. You can be home with
more of your earned income to do the things you like and can afford to
do.
Other benefits of getting a CDL include Job security. There
is a CDL
truck driver shortage that is growing larger each year there are always
CDL jobs available. CDL drivers can live anywhere they want and moving
to an area where the cost of living is cheaper is one more benefit a
CDL driver has over a normal type job.
