Mileage Tracking for Veho Drivers
Many Veho drivers drive 8,000 to 22,000 business miles a year. At the 2026 IRS standard rate of 72.5 cents per mile, that is a deduction range of $5,800 to $15,950 for the workers who can claim it.
Who can deduct
Veho drivers (last-mile parcel delivery) are independent contractors. You file Schedule C and deduct mileage at the 2026 IRS rate of 72.5 cents per mile.
How Veho drivers actually drive
Full-time Veho drivers running daily routes commonly drive 12,000 to 18,000 business miles a year. Veho's route-based model means drivers know their daily distance in advance and can plan vehicle wear accordingly. Most routes cover 60-150 miles per day.
Typical deductible trips
The trips below are the ones Veho drivers most commonly forget to log, plus the obvious ones. Auto-tracking catches all of them, including the small ones that add up.
- Driving from your home to the Veho station/warehouse for daily route pickup
- Driving the planned route delivering parcels to multiple stops
- Driving back to the station after route completion (unless dropping the truck off mid-route)
- Driving between failed-delivery attempts to a redelivery address
How TruMile helps
TruMile auto-detects every drive using motion plus location, so the trips above get logged whether you remember them or not. Smart classification learns your repeat routes (between regular client homes, between job sites, to your supply store) and starts tagging them automatically after a few trips.
At year-end, one tap turns your trip log into an IRS-compliant CSV or PDF you can hand to your accountant or paste into Schedule C. The math is already done.
Free for 40 auto trips a month, every month. If you are anywhere near the high end of the typical mileage range, the unlimited Pro tier at $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year usually pays for itself in the first week of tax season.
FAQ for Veho drivers
Is the drive from home to the Veho station deductible?
Generally no. Drive from home to your usual work-day starting location is commuting, not business miles. Once you arrive at the station and begin the route, the route drives are business miles. The drive home after the route ends is also commuting.
What if I have a qualifying home office where I do route planning?
If you have a qualifying home office, the home-office exception applies and drives from home to the station become business miles. The IRS bar for a qualifying home office is high (regular AND exclusive business use of a defined space). Most Veho drivers do not meet it.
Can I deduct vehicle wear specific to Veho's high-stop-count routes?
Under the standard mileage rate, all vehicle wear is bundled into the per-mile figure. Under actual expenses, you deduct the business-use portion of actual repair, maintenance, and tire costs. High-stop routes accelerate brake wear; track repair costs if using actual expenses.
Are uniforms or branded gear deductible?
Required uniforms with platform branding (not suitable for off-the-job wear) are deductible. Generic clothing that could be worn off-duty is not deductible even if you use it for work.
