The ability of Per Diem Plus to calculate 8,892 partial per diem days yielded one customer $460,000 of additional per diem
Beware: How inadequate per diem solutions can rob you of savings. A recent New York Post article acutely observed that the Producer Price Index, the most useful measure of general inflation, was up a whopping 16.3% from April 2021, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That means that roughly $1 out of every $6 that people earn has been lost to inflation in a single year. Or to put it another way, 80 minutes’ earnings out of every eight-hour day have been eaten up.1 Motor carriers that figure out how to best navigate sky-high inflation and a shrinking U.S. labor force while recruiting and retaining drivers will have a market advantage over lesser fleets when inflation decreases. The keywords: Recruiting and retention.
Introducing a fleet-sponsored driver per diem program, coupled with temporary 100% deduction for per diem in 2022, will immediately reduce a motor carrier's expenses, enhance recruiting and retention and increase driver take-home pay. Per Diem Plus® customers can implement in minutes our IRS-compliant telematics-based substantiated per diem solution, which automates trucker per diem tracking for solo and teams traveling in the USA and Canada. The Per Diem Plus API and mobile apps include the unique ability to calculate full and qualifying partial per diem days, which can substantially increase the tax savings for both fleets and drivers2.
Analyzing real-world fleet per diem data is the best method for quantifying this exceptional feature to project the financial benefit partial per diem days have for both the fleet and drivers.
Based on an automated weekly fleet per diem report, 129 or 36% of 354 drivers enrolled in Per Diem Plus Fleets received at least 1 partial per diem for the week. The results:
A motor carrier that offers a $0.11/mile per diem is evaluating switching to a substantiated per diem program using the free trial of Per Diem Plus for Samsara. Based on an automated weekly beta test fleet report, 30 of 100 drivers enrolled in Per Diem Plus Fleets received at least 1 partial per diem for the week. The results:
A motor carrier must substantiate the “time, date, and place” for each day of travel. Here is how the IRS-friendly Per Diem Plus FLEETS web services portal output report handles this requirement:

New "Check Configuration" API button added for Samsara. Why is this new feature important? Samsara recently updated their API requirements by incorporating granular scopes to the configuration of integrated solutions, like Per Diem Plus. What was previously a simple 3 step process morphed into 7 specific configuration permissions, which created issues for some motor carriers.
How does the new "Check Configuration" API button added to Samsara work? When an API access token is added to the Integration Manager it will automatically check the API Token configuration.
Our API adapter was developed in response to growing industry demand to build integrations and is a part of PDP’s continued strategy to improve business management practices with best-in-class, IRS-compliant per diem solutions. Fleets can seamlessly integrate PDP Fleets with Samsara’s Connected Operations Platform to automate the implementation and administration of an IRS-compliant accountable driver per diem plan for fleet managers.
Per Diem Plus Fleets is available to all fleets on the Samsara App Marketplace.

Per Diem Plus completed months of beta testing in December with several motor carriers, including Intercity Lines. Jay Leno's favorite auto transport company is transitioning from the PDP Fleets mobile app to the API. "Setting up the API could not have been easier. It took us less than 5 minutes to configure the PDP Fleets API with our Samsara account," said Dean Wilson, Vice President at Intercity Lines. "Since introducing our driver per diem program in 2020 Intercity has achieved 85% driver participation, cut driver turnover by 10%, and saved over $3,000 per driver annually that was used to raise driver pay by several cents per mile," said Wilson.
