Handling Per-Diem Pay For Long-Distance Drivers
At the end of the day, handling per-diem shouldn’t be a nightmare for the back office or the person behind the wheel. It’s about fairness. When a company uses a clear, automated system for payroll trucking, it removes the guesswork. Drivers don’t have to keep a shoebox full of greasy fast-food receipts, and owners don’t have to sweat an audit. It’s just one of those industry tools that, when done right, makes the long-haul life a little more sustainable for everyone involved.

Understanding Tax Responsibilities for Transportation Businesses
ALTKeeping up with taxes in this business is a total grind, especially with all the multi-state rules and heavy vehicle fees. It’s easy to feel buried under the paperwork. Outsourcing to trucking payroll services helps take that target off your back, making sure Uncle Sam is happy while you stay focused on moving freight.

How Driver Compensation Structures Affect Fleet Operations?
ALTThe way drivers are paid directly dictates fleet efficiency and retention. High turnover rates often stem from opaque pay scales that frustrate employees. By streamlining payroll for truck drivers, fleets can boost morale and ensure timely deliveries. When compensation aligns with performance, it stabilizes operations, reduces recruitment costs, and fosters long-term driver loyalty.

Over 65? Congratulations, You Own the Economy
By Greg Ip
Updated Feb. 18, 2026 4:11 pm
“As of the third quarter of last year, people 70 and over controlled roughly 39% of all equities and mutual funds owned by households, compared with 22% in 2007, according to Federal Reserve data. Their share of net worth—assets minus debts—was 32%, up from 20% two decades earlier.
[…]
The average net worth of a person aged 65 to 74 was $1.8 million in 2022, up 178% from the same age group in 1989, adjusted for inflation.
[…]
Of course, you can have wealth without feeling wealthy. Averages are skewed by the likes of Warren Buffett and his fellow billionaires. The median wealth of a 65- to 74-year-old in 2022 was $410,000, less than a quarter of the average. And many people reach 65 with little or no financial assets.
Yet even they have wealth, holistically measured. If you translate Social Security benefits into present value terms, the average retiree at age 65 had an annuity worth $305,000 in 2019, according to research by Yale University economist Natasha Sarin and two co-authors. That was 160% more than in 1989, adjusted for inflation.”

Staying Persistant.
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
My story starts when I finished my 4 year term in the Navy and starting looking for a job in the civilian world. I was told by friends and family members to stay but I was ready for a new challenge. It was during that time that I worked different jobs including driving a cab.
Life was tough, but my faith in God was steadfast.…

At the end of the year, what you made is what you made. Every little bit counted. A penny saved is more than a penny earned. Not just because of interest. Let’s say you cut your monthly budget by $10. After a few months, you can afford to buy a couple things in bulk. You save even more money per month, so it adds up faster. You get a better savings account, and you don’t have overdrafts anymore, and you’re paying less interest on your credit card balance. This can keep snowballing upward. You may feel more confident, do better at work, apply to better jobs, cook for yourself more. Doing better can give you the confidence to keep up the good work.
All from setting aside a little instead of spending every dime of your paychecks.
I know it may sound glib. It’s not that easy if your parents didn’t do much to teach you about money.
I know about the mindset that says, “Either you do it right or don’t bother.” And I’ve seen it fail me so consistently (100%, actually) that I’ve gradually rejected it over a long period of time.

Well, looking at my bills for this month set me straight from buying anything that I don’t need. 😬 I’m still adjusting to making a lot less money than I used to make… ho boy.

I found a coupon for Look Human, but you have to spend $80 to get free shipping.
I checked and the 3 items I really want and if I just got those, with the discount code, and it’s like $16+ for shipping which makes the total like $71+.
I am trying to be responsible and not spend too much money, but adding the minimum to get free shipping brings it up to like $90-$95+… and seeing that number makes me feel bad.
I feel like I should set up some kind of goal that I have to meet to let myself buy this stuff. I want this stuff, but due to finances right now, I know I’ll feel bad if I buy it without “earning” it. I could say it was for my birthday, but I already feel like I’ve spent too much this year.

Me (30f) bf (34m) is addicted to energy drinks
It’s becoming an issue… I know there are worse habits he could have, however he is drinking a minimum of 2 a day, but usually 3, it’s like 400mg+ of caffeine within 6 hours.
He will make a 40 minute round trip just to try purchase a specific one he likes. They are like $6-7 a can and it’s costing us so much money. He lies about how many he has, he even tried putting his purchases on a card he didn’t think I get notification for, and says he wants to quit but is currently unable to. He also says I should be grateful he isn’t drinking alcohol, which yes of course I am but I feel like this is deflection of the problem and lowkey from a financial standpoint it would be a cheaper habit to consume the same volumes he is. From a health standpoint point caffeine is the lesser evil, but it’s still not great.
I’m really concerned about him and don’t know how to help him. I’ve suggested cheaper alternatives, lower caffeine alternatives, suggest we make it less convenient for him to have, he seems unwilling or unable to budge.
Meanwhile I’m sacrificing drinking soft drink, sacrificing hobbies etc to try save money and he is spending $600 ish a month on this. I’m stressed and anxious about saving money with this going on. He is also a shell of a person when he hasn’t had an energy drink, like he persists he cannot think straight, walk or make any decisions without this drink. How can we help him quit???
He doesn’t see a problem, doesn’t want to change, and is willing to hurt you financially to continue what he’s doing. He’s lying, he’s making excuses, and he’s all but blaming you for the situation. The best thing you can do for yourself right now is work on separating finances - including making plans to live separately ASAP - to protect your future. This man will put you in debt without even so much as blinking an eye. You’ll be there for him if he’s ever ready to make a change (of which, hopefully facing consequences for his actions might motivate him), but until then, you need to choose yourself. He certainly is!
