Why aren’t Driver Reimbursements or Driver Advance included in the Trip Costing?
Only the driver expense methods marked as driver expense will be applied to the trip costing. A driver advance does not apply to trip costing. If you give the driver $100 and then deduct that off his pay, the company is not out of pocket. The reason a driver reimbursement does not go toward costing is because a driver is reimbursed for items they paid out of pocket for and allows employers to pay back employees who have spent their own money for business-related expenses. When employees receive an expense reimbursement, typically they won't be required to report such payments as wages or income. In this case if it isn't reported as income then it isn't really a trip cost.
