One of the tax specialties that an ex-employer had was over the road truck drivers. One of my past co-workers worked extensively on trucking companies.

This came across my feed earlier and this struck me as important. The new tax law has eliminated the 2% deduction for miscellaneous expenses-including employee related business expenses that aren’t reimbursed.
