Every mile driving TO your pickup is tax deductible, not just the delivery

 PSA: Every mile driving TO your pickup is tax deductible, not just the delivery

A lot of drivers I talk to only track miles from restaurant to customer. But the IRS lets you deduct ALL business miles — that includes driving to the restaurant, driving between orders, and even driving home after your last delivery if you're still "on the clock."

At $0.70/mile for 2025, that adds up fast. If you drive 100 miles a day and only track 60 of them, you're leaving ~$10,000/year in deductions on the table.

How do you all track your miles? Curious what's working for people.
